TO MEMORY TIMELINE
Dear Ric, Erin, Claire, Meagan and Kristy Our thoughts are with you and you have our most sincere condolences for your loss. Trish helped Eija when she first arrived in Australia and was a bridesmaid and witness at our marriage. For that we have been always grateful. Love from Lionel & Eija
Dear Ric, girls and other family members, Our hearts are breaking along with yours. We have lost a unique person who was loved by all with whom she interacted. All of our friends who met Trish expressed their positive impressions of her. She will forever be with us.
Dear Ric, Meagan, Erin, Claire, Kristy & families, All our love at this time. Such beautiful memories I have of Trish, her warmth, laugh & those incredible legs for days. May your hearts be forever filled with all the love & special moments you share. With love, Sarah, Nick, Lilly & Henry xx
I cannot express well enough the shock at learning of Trish’s passing, such fond and lasting memories at the farm in Strathy, at the piano playing “evening”, trying to keep up on the clarinet, Trish trying to get a tune from the clarinet. The warmth and welcome of the entire Bryant family has never been forgotten. Our deepest condolences to Rick and the entire family. Leon & Brenda Ryan

Dear Ric, Meagan, Erin, Claire & Kristy & families, Thinking of you all today and beyond. Fond memories of Trish, her zest, inclusivity, practicality and kindness.

To Ric, Your Wonderful Amazon Women and your families, I felt incredibly honoured to be a part of your farewell yesterday. I was in awe at the vulnerability and grace you showed for your number one love. I feel so lucky to have been a small part in your Mum's journey of life and will hold all my memories dear. Dad and I were talking about all the wonderful things you all mentioned on the way to Terrindah yesterday. Dad was saying how much you could feel the essence of what a remarkable women Trish was and how much it shone through you all. Thank-you all for sharing these stories, Trish's joy became even brighter than before. I shall think of Trish when I see those Black Cockatoos in the sky. So much love and 'Bair' hugs Clair and Dad Noel
