Tricia Coleman
December 31, 1969 - December 31, 1969

"What a tragic loss- Tricia was so full of life with so much to offer. This is truly a sad situation, may she rest in the arms of angels. "

"I love you, Reetie! We all do. I miss you so much already."

"I love you and have the greatest memories of our time together, I would hold them dear forever!"

"Tricia was one of the best friends I had growing up. Thanks for making my childhood fun, i will always remember you! My thoughts and prayers are with her family. "

"Tricia was one of my nearest and dearest friends. I will forever cherish my memories of her. Rest in peace, Roo. We love you very much."

"Vaughn,We are so sorry for your loss. There are no words to ease your sorrow. Just know that you are in our thoughts and our prayers.Sincerely,Rhonda & Mike"

"I love you Tricia. My life won't be the same without you. Winkmaster"

"Trish helped me through Chenoa's teen years, for which I am eternally grateful. I too, shall miss her."

"I cannot express what a loss this is to me and the family. She had life, she had love and she could drive people crazy. You're a Rock Star or Freak Show in Tricia's book, in any case she embraced life with emotion and energy and I'll miss her - a lot."

"Vaughn, we were deeply saddened to learn of Tricia's death. We are in WY and will not be back in IN until late July. You are in our prayers for God's comfort and support."

"I have many wonderful memories of spendless countless holidays and vacations with my cousin, Tricia, in Toledo--making (and eating) fudge together, walking to Gammy Fern's house, staying up too late, and laughing until we couldn't laugh any more. I am truly sorry for the loss of Tricia for those who knew and loved her most. She was a wonderful person."

"Tricia was one of my best friends. I will always remember her and all the wonderful times we had growing up. All those lucky enough to really know Tricia realize that the world is a much sadder place without her in it. We'll miss ya, you were a ROCK STAR!!!"

"You were taken too soon. You will be missed dearly."

"Tricia, You were taken too soon and will truly be missed. I enjoyed our little chats online recently and there are many memories of high school with you in them. Rest in Peace."

"Tricia, You were taken too soon and will truly be missed. I enjoyed our little chats online recently and there are many memories of high school with you in them. Rest in Peace."

"Vaughn, I am terribly sorry to hear about this - I'm speechless. Please know that you have people around you that are here if you need anything."

"We had many good times together..i will always think of you and smile. "

"It is with hearfelt sympathy from my family to yours. While I did not know Tricia, I do know Layne through our working relationship for the City of Indianapolis and without a doubt understand what a special person Tricia was to all who did know her. Respectfully - Barb"

"Tricia i thought that was full of life she was always smiling or laughing with her friends.May God be with all the family and all her friends.Those we love don't go away,They walk beside us every day,Unseen, unheard, but always near,Still loved, still missed and very dear to our heart."

"My heart hurts and I miss her."

"My first thought after the initial shock of hearing the sad news was this. If there is a God I am almost certain that he has a very unique and interesting nick name by now. That and if any one was every lonely in heaven, they sure aren't now. I don't think I have ever met more of a people person than Tricia Rooney. I hope that wherever you are their aren't any big dogs there, and that you are very happy!"

"Our thoughts and prayers are with each one of you in this time of grief. It has been so many years since we have seen Tricia and her brothers, but I remember the laughter when we were all together. We will miss you, Tricia."

"Theres only a few people in the world who can touch so many lives in a positive way and bring something great into others lives just for knowing them...you were one of thoes people. so many truly miss you and love you. Quirky, funny, sometimes outlandish but never boring you will be loved and in the hearts of everyone in your life because more than a casual friend made and lost over time and circumstance, you imprinted so much of yourself on everyone you met and everything you touched you will never be forgotten. I will truly miss you."

"Tricia was such a unique and fun person who always had a way with words. She will truly be missed."

"Tricia was such a unique and fun person who always had a way with words. She will truly be missed."

"I am sorry for the loss of Tricia. I have many memories of her that will be remembered. God Bless"

"I am so sorry for your loss. It seems to be more difficult when it is someone so young. Our thoughts & prayers will be with all of you."

"Tricia you were taken too soon. You were a great person. My thoughts and prayers goes out to your family. You will be missed! "

"Tricia and I had great fun times when I visited her and Jeremy when they lived in Portland, Oregon. She drove me around and didn"

"Tricia you are in my thoughts and your family is in my heart. Say hello to the "Big Guy for me" I love you,Tammie"

"I don't think that I have ever felt so welcomed by anyone as I did by Tricia. She made me feel completely at ease, and I felt like we were instant friends. She surprised me once by buying me something that I liked in one of her stores, but didn't want to purchase for myself. I still have it tucked away, and I have always thought of her thoughtfulness when I see it."

"VaughnTricia was one of a kind. I can not express my sorrow and how much I will miss working with her.Life at the Mortuary will never be the same. Her presence will always be around us. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Tricia's entire family."

"Vaughn and Family,I feel so blessed that I had the opportunity to work with Tricia - we had so much fun.I loved hearing about her guinea pigs. Her stories were fabulous.She gave me a scarf and I will cherish it. She was a wonderful person and I will never forget her!!My thoughts and prayers are with you.Linda"

"Tricia had such a beautiful smile, a warm, loving heart & looked for the best in everyone. She could light up a room with her wonderful laughter. Tricia was definitely a "people person" & everyone she met became a friend. Just as Matthew 5:16 & Luke 11:33 stated, we are not the source of the light, but we do have to help it shine through us & into the lives of others. Tricia had her own, special light that she carried out into the world. Tricia will always hold a special place in our hearts. Those of us who were blessed to have known her & shared her rays of sunshine, will always remember Tricia. "

"I wish I could have said more yesterday at the service. As others said it's impossible to sum Tricia up with few words. Especially being so overwhelmed with the sadness of the loss. I have known Tricia since the first day of the first grade.Before class had even started there she was smile ear to ear introducing herself to everyone. The story about that told many times. Her mother told her to do this to everyone that day. I'm so glad she did. From that day on she was always in my life.The last 10 years we had drifted apart because of lives and distance, but she was always in my thoughts. Many stories can be told over the many years. me and her at my house after junior prom at my house ,listening to disco records. Everyone else left to party and there we were laughin and groovin. This is just many of the memories I feel blessed to have. My father passed away just a week before Tricia. Her passing has had way more impact on me than his. This being because she was in way more of my life than him. I know anyone who was close to her feels the same. Tricia HOW I WISH YOU WERE HERE!! I'll love you forever."

"It was good to see many of you yesterday during the calling and service. Thank you for coming and sharing your memories. I don't want my reality to be one without my Tricia."

"Vaughn, I am very saddened for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Always, Patti "

"There never seems to be the right words to express the grief and sorrow of a loved one passing away, especially when it is so unexpected. Although it is never quite the same, I can relate to this sad event through my own simular experiences. I have known Tricia since she was born and despite some life challenges, she was always a wonderful person with a spirit of exuberance and perseverance. Tricia's smile and charm will be greatly missed by all whose paths have crossed with her. My heart and prayers go out to family and friends during this time of mourning. We will miss you dearly Tricia until we can all be together in our Father's house."

"To the family, my prayers and thoughts are with you all. I did not know Tricia, but I know and have worked with Layne for years and knowing Layne the way I do, Tricia must have been one dynamite lady. Layne, I am here for you.God Bless you all.Lee Ann"

"Tricia's mom, Evelyn, was a dear friend of mine and she was so incredibly proud of Tricia. They shared the same vivacious, outgoing personality. Evelyn told me once that life is like a train. As you go through life, some people get on your train, share the ride for a while, then they may get off your train, and your paths will separate. But you never forget that person and your life is richer because you knew them. I'm so glad I shared that ride with Evelyn and Tricia. Now they are together again and I can only imagine the giggles and the laughter they are sharing. My heartfelt sympathy to Tricia's husband, her dad, her brothers and sister, and all her other family and friends."

"From the beginning, I could tell the Tricia didn't fit in with our family.Political views aside, she had too much fashion sense, was way too tidy, and her smile was far too radiant. She was a wild breeze that settled upon our village for such a short while, but I am grateful for the time I knew her as a lovely sister-in-law and an outstanding aunt to my special needs daughter. But her path through life led away from ours -- I feel like we've lost her twice. Find peace, Tricia."

"Wow, where do you begin when such a tragedy has happened. I have known Tricia for several years doing her hair, what can I say she was so full of life and so knowledgable about so many things. We would have such great conversation. This is truly saddening, my heart goes out to Vaughn and her family. She will be missed."

"So shocked to hear about sweet, funny, wonderful Trisha! I worked with her at Famous Barr, Finlay Jewelry, in Springfield, IL. We would always work late together and go get a BLT. I will always think of her when I have a BLT We had a great time working together. I will miss her!"

"I just found out about the sudden loss of Tricia yesterday 8/28/2009. I am shocked and in disbelief. Tricia was a wonderful person full of joy and happiness. One couldn't help, but feel good when you were around her. I will always remember her for her sweet spirit and her hard work in graduate class. I was fortunate enough to work with her on a group project in Graduate school at IUPUI. She was very talented and witty. I'll never forget her sayings when she would come to our group meetings, "Hey Man", with a smile! Tricia, even though I only knew you for a semester the impact you had on me in class and during our group project I will remember for a lifetime........God Bless...."
