James, Annona, Brian, Jonathan, Jimmy, TJ, Jessie, Cory, Alice, Cindy, Brothers, and ALL the family,
My heart goes out to you in the loss of Trudy. She was truly the most generous and loving person I’ve ever known. She always found the time and energy to help everyone and was an inspiration to all who knew her. It was an honor to have known her and to have been considered her friend.
I feel so lucky to have had her in my life and am a better person for having known her. She touched all who knew her and will always be remembered. Love lives on in all your wonderful memories of Trudy, and I pray they will bring you comfort and peace.
Thinking of all of you.

Dearest Family, I wept as I read your heartfelt words describing your appreciation and love for Trudy. To me she was a true friend, true in her love for God and His Son, Jesus, true to her family in every situation. Trudy was with us only a short time but made a huge impression with the true way in which she lived her life. We will all miss her greatly and are anxious for the day we will see her again. May God shower you with the comfort you deserve. Love Bill and Pat Farris and Family

I forgot to mention a great thing Trudy did for me, that every time I saw her I thanked her again. Back in 1983, Trudy and I attended another Church together and back then, I was poor as a Church mouse. Trudy and I wore the same size shoe back then, and she bought a whole bag of shoes for me to try on one time to the Church. I was so poor back then, I lived on canned tuna fish and not much else for 2 years. She blessed me that day more than I think she ever knew (but I tried to let her know). I'll never forget it. Thanks again Trudy! Pamela "Angel" Jeter

Dear Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Words can never adequately express how one feels at a time like this. I am a friend of Mike (Grady) Morrison and have known him through Oxford. He spoke highly of Trudy and having not met her is my loss. May God support and undergird you at this time. I pray that God will bring back to you wonderful memories of her prior to the illness. Peace.

To Mom, James, and all the Boys,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathies for your loss of Trudy. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
In all the world we shall not find a heart so loving and so kind, so soft a voice, so sweet a smile, an inspiration so worthwhile, a sympathy so sure, so deep, a love so wonderful to keep. How blessed we all are for having Trudy in our lives. The spirit of Trudy will always be with us.

Jim and Family,
My deepest and heartfelt sympathy go out to each and everyone of you. Trudy was a true inspiration through her sickness. The one thing she did was never give up hope or faith in Jesus. I know she is at peace now, and one day you will all be together again.

It’s the hardest time of the year to lose a loved one. I know from experience, I lost my Daddy December 11, 1977 and my Mom December 14, 2000. There’s always a void and we never stop missing them and it seems the Holidays are the hardest. One thing that has always given me joy, is knowing that my Daddy and Mom are right there celebrating with Jesus all the Holy days, and up there - they're all Holy. Can you imagine how glorious that is? Trudy’s right there! Right now! No more sickness! She’s dancing and singing and it’s a party up there! Soon and very soon we’ll all be together again. Hold on! Jesus is coming soon!
