I'm so sorry for this great loss. My earlier life in Oakland was filled with so much happiness, fun, and deliciousness and so much of it was because of or involved Tish. Sending all the Limons my deepest condolences, warmest thoughts, and love. Minh-Ha xx
Rob, I am so sorry about Trish beyond words. Tried to msg you but failed to connect. So difficult a loss. Learned from Monica. Trish will be so missed by many of her followers. Keep in touch. Send your email annd anddress other than st Mary’s.
Tish you learned me many lessons but most important was to follow your passion. I’m reminded of Tavern clam chowder, Thirnhillblamb shanks, Stanley the funkiest bassist, dinners after closing and a laugh that echoed spirit and strength. Gone too soon. Luv you.
Tish was my cousin. She was one of the ring leaders during our Christmas get-togethers in Santa Barbara and various weddings when I was a kid. Those were great and lasting memories that I will forever hold in my heart. I'm so glad I've had the chance to see her a couple times in the not so distant past. She will be missed by many and will leave a hole that cannot be filled. My heart goes out to Tish's immediate family however that is defined. I'm sorry I will not be able to make the memorial service, but please know that I will be there in spirit and will be sending love.
Leticia my neice and Baptisimal Goddaughter, grew to become an important part of family. She proudly obtained an excellent education and pursued a successful and satisfying career as Chef. She will be missed on many levels by many. So proud Leticia.
I had the pleasure of working with Leticia at Stars Cafe, Spectrum Foods, and later for many years at Luna Park. She was always a rock—a calming and competent presence in the often frenetic restaurant environment. One very busy night at Stars Cafe, an elderly woman lost consciousness at her table, and I soon realized she had no pulse. Though I had CPR training, as we laid the woman on the floor, I was very scared I would do more harm than good. Leticia emerged from the kitchen, calmly took her place at the woman's side, checked for a pulse, and—with the same confidence and skill she showed while making seafood light fry—performed chest compressions until the paramedics arrived. After the ambulance had left I was confused, not knowing how the chef had just strolled out of the kitchen and provided life saving care for a stranger. I asked Leticia how she did this. As a cook came from the kitchen to ask Leticia to return she said “I used to work in a hospital” and without any exasperation and totally calm she returned to cooking.
Teresa,
I cannot imagine the pain you must be feeling. As parents we expect that our children will bury us not the other way around. My deepest condolences to you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
