2,920 days ago you left us. Not even a single one of those days has gone by without me thinking about you, missing you, loving you! I wish you were still here with me - and all of us! LOVE AND MISS YOU!! - TERRIBLY!!

I bought Preble Co human society a bag of dog food in memory of you, Trish.
You will always be missed.

Happy Birthday, Trish! ❤️

Just missing you....

Happy Birthday Bear,  2-26-2020 With Love, Hugs, and Kisses and most of all Prayers.                                                               The pain of your absence seems to grow with our craving to see you, and feel your presence with us. We grow older and as the years pass memories are so very prescious. Recently we decided to go through the pictures and during the section we have put together of pictures that mean something very special to Dad and I something special happened to me. Because of losing part of my memory I had forgotten so much. Not just of your life but mine dating clear back to my early childhood. Going back to your Dad and my early years also. All of a sudden these pictures brought back memories that gave me beautiful thoughts of things long forgotten, Trishie, these were happy thoughts and memories I had not experienced or remembered since you passed. We made you our whole life, and then when Jimmy came into all of our lives things were even more Joyful. I.ve never in my life known someone who made such a loving, dedicated, joyful, happy Mother than you are. Honey,I did my best to take care of Jimmy, and your Dad tried to give him all he had to turn things around. He came to live with us twice and finally he went with his father. You talk to Jesus about how things are working out. We haven't been able to talk to them since. We will always pray for him and maybe you could talk to Jesus and maybe he will contact us so we can let him know how much he still is loved and he always has a home as long as we are here. A few weeks ago I was in the kitchen and for the first and only time I thought I felt your presence with me, I stopped and just let the feelings overtake me. This happened for the next few days. I hope this wasn't wishful thinking, you can come anytime. I'm always thinking of you, and if it's Jesus will we will all be together again. Thank Him for the time he gave us with you and I look forward to the time when the pain and agony of missing you is ended. Until then we'll pray for you, pray for us please, pray for Sonny too, his loss was painful and I'm sure today his memories are constantly on you.  Hopefully he will let us know that he is doing well and it would do all us good to know that we are tied to this day for always. Luv and Hugs Our Bear

Happy Birthday Snuggly! I love you and miss you. ... It's not getting any easier being without you. I just miss you more with each passing day....

It's been five years since you left me. The pain is the same today as was five years ago. I miss you and I'll always love you.

Feb. 26, 2018      We have been gazing at your picture for awhile and the picture we have of you in our hearts is always the same.I hope Jesus is letting your life in heaven be with all the animals, and the children, so that all that tremendous love you had in your soul and heart can be let loose and fill you with happiness and those you love.You are the most wonderful memory I have of rocking you in my arms in your nursery in 1966 You were the most precious gift that came from your Dad's and my marriage of 53 yrs. Pray for us Bear and we will for you. With all our Love, Mama @Dad

You would have been 52 today. happy heavenly birthday. My heart has been broken yet again. My son-in-law Derek Chambers was killed in a car crash last night caused by a probable drunk driver. Please welcome him home and pray for Julie and the kids.

1,460 days have passed since you left us. Not one of those days has gone by without me thinking of you and remembering the love we shared. I still miss you as much as I did yesterday and the day before that and the day before that. All my love always....

To our daughter whose memories still leave our hearts and souls torn apart. No, it never gets better or hurts less, the agony of your loss is fueled by the everyday living we see of other people and their families sharing with one another, day to day living,growth, loving. But we have that no more. Our only child is gone.We have no family to help us bear thru the life we still have to live.But I know that Jesus thought you had all you could take and we know this was his will.I know he came and got you Baby and I know you were happy because you loved him so.I try to think of things that you are able to do now, and I know that there are so many children and animals who would need to be loved. So I pray that Jesus has put you where you can unleash that tremendous capacity of love that you carried with you for all you're life.We are so proud of that and your compassion for people, you're giving to the needy on the streets, you're ability to pick up any wild animal and they were content in your arms, all the abandoned babies taken care of. Remember, St. Francis, Trish, he's the patron saint of animals and I'm sure he could use the help. I talked to Sonny today Honey, It felt so good for both of us to be able to discuss you.I'd forgotten how much he meant to us, he misses you so, honey.Be with him and us whenever you can. He's going to bring your rocker next time he visits. I'll be able to sit in it and remember one of my fondest memories that Dad and I remember, is rocking you in your nursery by the window. Remember we always told you that was one of our fondest memories and you loved hearing us talk about that. Well I'm sure Jesus will keep you safe and warm in his love, and if you were here we would keep you safe, warm, well, and LOVED. Put your arms around Dad and I and Sonny too Bear. We couldn't LOVE you more Honey. Till we are all together again Sweetheart...

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Trish!! <3

Thinking of you today, Trish, and hoping you are having an amazing heavenly birthday.

Happy Birthday Snuggly! Today, you would have been 51 years young. I still miss you terribly! I know though you'll be enjoying this day in heaven - as I'm sure you do every day - playing with Lily, Faithy, Lexie, Sanders, Murphy, Kat and all the animals you loved so much!. As always, I send you all my love!

My painful memories, the same day every year
it's the day that I have now come to fear

I know that I will start to cry
anniversary of the day you died

The third one that's not a celebration
I know anniversary's are meant to be happy

But just this once, just this time,
Memories I can't forget, that make me cry

I still miss you terribly Snuggly and I'll love you forever!

Today is your 50th birthday
I celebrate it even though
You are no longer here with me
To enjoy the things we used to do

You fought so hard
And bore so much
But in the short life you lived
So many people’s lives you touched

It’s not always easy
And sometimes I struggle really hard
Wishing you were here with me just
To play with Annabelle out in the yard

But the years we spent together
I treasure and I am thankful for
Even though I would have loved
To have enjoyed many years more

Forty seven years, spent and gone
A life that briefly touched my own
A smile on her Savior’s face
A soul that’s finally home

And when you look down with smiles
From God’s heaven up above
I hope you know in your heart
You were truly and deeply loved

You are still so loved
And missed every day
My dearest sweet Snuggly
I wish you a blessed 50th birthday

Another year of tears, broken hearts, homesickness for you, missing
you, Loving more than ever, these are the pains of parents who have lost their most loving , beautiful, daughter. I always remember in my mind Trish of that day when you where less than 1 yr. old, I was rocking you in your nursery, holding you while you were asleep with your thumb in your mouth smiling, and I thought to myself memorize everything about how she looks right now because the day may come someday when you have to look back at that memory. I never thought that day would come. Your Mama loves you baby and I'll love you more as long as I live and I look forward to the day I can put my arms around you again. If you need me just call Honey, I'll hear you. Your Dad and I have a hard time discussing it, but Trishy I know he's spent many hours in the garage shedding tears only he can let out in private..He never learned to show his emotions but that's alright, his memories are private and only to be shared with you. but he loves you to the bottom of his soul honey. Love, Hugs, Kisses, and Prayers our Darling Angel.

Mom and Dad

Two years ago today - you peacefully passed away,
My best friend forever - you will always stay.

I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too,
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name
All I have are memories, and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake, with which I'll never part
God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart.

.....I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SNUGGLY!!!"

Happy Birthday Snuggly! I love you and miss you. ... They say time heals all wounds - It's not getting any easier being without you. I just miss you more with each passing day....

.... I Love You ... And ... That's all I know...

I miss you so very much Snuggly!

This day used to be such a happy day
Until you were chosen to go away
We talked, we laughed, and did nice things
What a difference 2 years brings

I still talk to you, but you don’t answer me
Although in my mind, I know what your words would be
Your birthday gift that we always shopped for
Now has to be flowers, so I pick the ones you always adored

Snuggly, I miss you everyday
But I am sure you understand, it’s harder on your day
So Happy Birthday! I am thinking of birthdays gone by
When we spent them together you and I

Happy Birthday Snuggly! I Love You!! I miss you more today than I did when you left me.

I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too,

I think of you in silence, I often speak your name
All I have are memories, and your picture in a frame

Your memory is my keepsake, with which I'll never part
God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart.

.....I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SNUGGLY!!!

Last Words Received From Our Daughter



Thinking of You Mom

It can happen any moment,,and it can happen anywhere we don't know it, but somebody is remembering us in prayer.

A little note to let you know I'm thinking of you and I'm always by your side wherever I am. I hope you're feeling better and I Love You,
Your Bear  
PS.-"HIGH SIGN" to you

 I'll lend you for a little time a child of mine, Christ said,
 For you to love the while she lives, and mourn for when she's dead.
 it may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three,
 But will you till I call her back ,take care of her for me?
 She'll bring her charms to gladden you, and shall her stay be brief,
 You'll have her lovely memories as
 solace for your grief.
 I cannot promise she will stay,
 Since all from earth return,
 But there are lessons taught down,
 there I want this child to learn.
 I looked the wide world over in my
 search for a teacher true,
 And from the throngs that crowd
 life's lane, I have selected you.
 I know you will give her all your
 love, nor think the labor vain,
 Nor hate me when I come to call
 to take her back again.
 I fancied that I heard you say;
 DEAR LORD THY will be done,
 For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
 The risk of grief we'll run,
 We'll shelter her with tenderness,
 we'll love her while we may.
 And for all the happiness we've known,
 forever grateful stay.
 But shall the angels call for her,
 much sooner than we planned.
 We'll brave the grief that comes
 and try to understand.
 
Thinking of You Trish - Mom, I Love You Baby
 You're Dad's Heart Loves You and Misses You Terribly
 Your Jimmy is where he is being taken care of, look over
 him, Honey, and Pray For All of Us

Happy Birthday Trish! I was just thinking of you the other day, and wishing, once again, that we had stayed in touch so I could have known the wonderful YOU that you grew into. I'll always remember our fun and laughter in our silly high school years, and you will always be in my heart. Our 30th reunion is coming up this year, and YOU will be so missed there! Hope you're holding a spot up there for me, girl, cuz we have some serious catching up to do one day! <3 Lisa Kelchner Seger

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OUR ANGEL!!! 2/26,2014 Its not even been a full yr. yet Bear and words cannot ever!! ever!! describe what we feel. Our hearts are broke.I still remember rocking you one evening, and staring down into your face and thinking, "someday I will wish to heaven above that I could hold you and let my love flow into you and you would be able to feel it no matter where you were" We know that you are with you're heavenly Father so we know you are safe and loved and no pain. I look forward to  when we are all together again. Dad misses you so and we are taking as good care of Jimmy as we can, he misses you and he needs your prayers and so do we, so pray to Jesus for all of us. Until we can see your beautiful face we will remember with our love and our prayers, and try to feel your love coming down to us.We love you Bear Bear. Mama & Dad and Dakota (he looks for you Trish) We planted a beautiful Weeping Willow in your memory and its growing straight up to the heavens. Goodnite Sweetie, don't forget your prayers, and Sweet Dreams.

Hi Trish. Just wanted to say hi, and let you know I'm thinking about you! :) Really going to miss seeing you! It's going to be different going to visit dad and not having you there! Well ill let ya go. Just wanted to say hi! I love you Trish!!! <3

Good morning Snuggly! I'm heading to Church shortly to celebrate your life! The beautiful life that I was so fortunate to have had the opportunity to be part of! Thank you for LOVING ME! I will CHERISH every MINUTE you shared with me - FOREVER!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

P.S. I MISS YOU HORRIBLY!!!

A Funeral Mass for Trish will take place Saturday, May 18th at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Dayton at 10:00am. The address is: 272 Bainbridge St, Dayton, OH 45402 (Corner of East 5th St & Bainbridge). Immediately after the Mass, family and friends are encouraged to come to the school cafeteria to reminisce. Everyone is invited.

A BIG THANK YOU to Pat and Linda O'Malley for their very generous contribution to the "Help The Animals" no-kill shelter in Richmond Indiana, in the memory of Trish! I know she's smiling on both of you for your thoughtfulness and kindness!

Part 2 - when it came to laughter. You made my dad so happy & I'll always be grateful for that. You were always so kind to my kids and they've lost someone very special to them as well. Even on your worst days, you never complained and still had a smile. We can all learn so much from your strength. You are now at peace and pain free - we love you, until we all meet again.

Part 1 - Trish, I think the thing I will always remember most about you is your laugh. You were always looking at the bright side of things and never had a bad word to say about anyone. You and Dad would laugh at things that others would probably think "what the heck, that wasn't even funny" But, you & him would laugh hysterically together..it was like you two had your own secret language

I knew Trish in high school, and was lucky to call her a friend. We had many laughs together, and I only wish we had been able to stay in touch over the years. I have often wondered about her, and am happy to learn that this horrible disease didn't change the loving, lively person I knew and loved. Thank you so much for sharing this tribute, Sonny! Trish was lucky to have you in her life.

God saw you getting tired, when a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you, and whispered "Come to me".
You didn't deserve what you went through, so He gave you needed rest.
God's garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best!
And when I saw you sleeping, so peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back, to suffer that again.

Hey Trish I am so glad you went peacefully and are no longer in pain. Thanks for being such a good friend to my grandpa. Say hi to Lily for me :)

You will be missed!

Memorial services in Dayton, OH will be submitted as soon as plans are finalized ,following services in Texas, where she resided. Look for obituary in Dayton Daily News (1-2wks). If other info is required contact Aaron or Peggy Cantrell at: (mpcantrell@gmail.com) Piqua, OH. This is in regards to services for our daughter Mary Patricia Bliss (Cantrell).

Trisha, I do beleive we became best friends from the momet we met when I came to walk Lily. Words cannot express how much you have ment to me over the past years. We may not have know each other long in real years, but it seems we have always known each other. I love you and will always miss you. Please give Lily a big hug for me.

Trish. You will be missed. You have such a kind heart and I am so grateful you are no longer suffering. I know you're watching over us all in heaven. Probably saving some more animals like my grandpa told us you did. :) RIP

"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Fly with the Angels, Sweetheart. You were born with a smile on your face and you "WALKED' away with JESUS with a smile on your beautiful face. Now you can help all the children and animals you want for as long as you want. We will always wrap you in our Love, Baby. Don't forget your prayers, honey.We Love you. Mom and Dad

To Sonny, our daughters partner and best friend. We send you our love and appreciation for the years you gave to Trish and we can just hear her listening to this and laughing, probably more than she has been able to for years. Her pain is gone, her heart is again able to feel the love that she had for all of us, she was "special" as everyone knew, our hearts are broke and heavy.LOL,Sonny
