My family and friends absolutely loved Trish when she was at Torres. She always knew what she wanted, she knew little details, snug my baby son (now 15) out his first bowl of refried beans. It wasn't just that she was our waitress, she was more, she genuinely seemed interested in what was going on and when she left Torres we stopped going in all the time. There was a time lapse before I ran into her at the bakery and she STILL remembered my name, my son, my family and my friend Liz's name. She was a good and caring person, and I am so sorry to see not only that she is gone but that she had suffered through a cancer diagnosis. To all her family, I am so, so sorry for your loss. Trish was one in a million.
