Dear Anca, Raul, Miri and Marsha It is hard to express what I’m feeling because on one side I am relieved that Trisa is no longer in pain but, on the other side, I will miss her terribly . I used to think of her as my Mom on this side of the ocean. She never missed an opportunity to wish me all the best no matter the occasion, and many years ago she baked cookies for us to take to Sergio, in Japan. She was elegant , smart , generous, and open minded. She could operate the TV channels, and troubleshoot the technical issues like a pro. Anca did the absolute best in looking after her . Trisa’s passing is a big loss for your family; please accept our condolences! May her Rest In Peace. Mandy, and Liviu

Dear Anca, Raul, Miri and Marsha, My sincerely condolences for Trisa. In these hard moments of sadness I am looking back at all the moments we spent together and I feel privileged to have known her. She was a strong person, sweet and understanding, ready to help anytime. She was always elegant, with her hair done a a smile on her face. I know that in the last year she was in pain and I keep thinking that now she’s not anymore. It’s a small consolation comparing to loosing her. Dear Anca and Raul, you did a great job taking care of her. I wish you strength to go through these hard moments of an eternal goodbye. She will be in our hearts forever.
