From director Brian Trenchard-Smith,

'To Zoe's mother, all her relatives and friends: please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. Zoe co starred in my Night of the Demons 2, then did a guest appearance in Leprechaun 3 with fellow Demons cast member. I remember her acting skill, her sense of humor and her luminous personality. Cast and crew always had a good time when she was on set. In my view, and that of several directors, she deserved a much bigger career. She was an undiscovered gem, My condolences to all who like myself and my wife had the privilege of knowing Zoe Trilling.'
