I would like to express mine and my family's deep gratitude for the tremendous warmth, support and dignity extended to us as part of Trish's ministry, after the passing of our beloved Terry.
She took the time out (probably more than would have been strictly necessary), to discover in-depth his life story; and delivered a service that was, while highly respectful, warm, moving, humorous and spot-on - a perfect way to celebrate a life lived well.
So thank you Trish from the whole family - we hope we will be able to meet you and work with you again in happier circumstances.
Maureen, Philip and the entire Walsh Clan

I am just writing to say many thanks for the service you gave at my mothers funeral. Most of the family had not been to a Celebration of Life Service before, and all commented on how much they liked the whole way you conducted the service. I was pleased and suprised with the personalised copy of the service you gave to me, and the amount of effort and work you had obviously put into it. My mum would have loved it. Again, many thanks Trish for all your excellent work, sorry it has been a while in me getting around to this thank you note.

We would like to say thank you for the wonderful service you gave to celebrate the life of our daughter Rachelle. The many tributes, poems and memories will stay with us forever. Rachelle would have approved wholeheartedly at the caring and sympathetic way you conducted the service. We could envisage her being there with us enjoying every minute. Many thanks also for the beautiful copy of the "Order of Service" which you presented to our family afterwards. We shall treasure it along with our memories of Rachelle.

Dear Trish, thankyou for the wonderful service you held for our dad Mr Jack Keegan on 3rd October 2011. Everyone at the service loved the words you spoke of dad, the way you made it a life story, personal, thoughtful, and so true, we all felt as though you knew dad personally and you involved all present. The service was everything we wanted and more, it was the celebration of his life, which our dad deserved. He is now at peace with mum and all his family who have passed. Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts and for the lovely copies of the service you made for the family to keep. Jacky

I felt I needed to thank you and relay our personal thanks, for the way you delivered and conducted Jim Carters (Dads) funeral. The way you delivered and expressed the life of my father shows how you actually care about the personal circumstances of a Family in their time of grief and the service, you as a person provided. What you provide for families is so important in this painful time we all have to endure at some point in our lives. Please keep doing what you do well.
Thank You

This is a great big thank you Trish for a wonderful service you gave for Auntie Phyllis, it was so comforting taking us through her life, and us all reliving the fun times and coming away with the happy memories. The booklet received is a lovely keepsake and I'm sure mum will treasure it. Once again thank you so much.
Love from us all,

We would like to thank you for the kind, caring, professional manner and delicacy of touch with which you guided our family through a desperately heartbreaking time. You enabled us to remember, with joy, some of the happiest moments we had spent with our father, Mr Samuel Peel, and also to celebrate his life as a man. Your knowledge of the area in which our father was born and raised and your ability to relate to the difference in pace of farming life, was a great comfort for the whole family. Using our words, you delivered a service with grace, beauty and sincerity. This made the day (Thursday 30th September 2010) both a fitting tribute to our father and more bearable. With kindest regards the family of Mr Sam Peel.

Trish,
To have found you to conduct the most beautiful service to bid farewell to my mum means everything to us.
You found your calling and you have touched us beyond imagination. As I am sure you have touched many a persons life.
No words can express our gratitude in the care, sensitivity and laughter you put on my mums special day. You made her journey complete and we thankyou from the bottom of our hearts.
I hope we can meet again. When our children have their naming day and we renew our vows we most certainly would love to have you share and make our day magical.
