We were saddened to hear of the sudden death of your Mom /Wife. She will be remembered always. As I look at her porch at the cottage I will always visualize her soaking up the rays. Her sunny personality was always contagious. Janice & Bob Graves

I'm so sorry for your loss - Trudy was such a special person.

I spent my summers down the cape at the grove with my grandparents (Anna and Harold Leary). We walked by Trudy's cottage every day and she would always be smiling and have a funny story to tell. I can still remember the bathing cap that she used to wear!

She was a wonderful person and will be missed.

Dear Andy,
I have many fond memories of time spent w/ Trudy and my Gram (Blanche Smith) at the Grove. She has been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember; and seeing her and hearing from her (all the sweet cards she has sent my own kids!!!) over the years after my Gram passed away always made me feel like my Gram was somehow still near. I will miss her and will hold those memories forever in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Andy
Love,
Tammy McPhee (Joyce Douglas' daughter)
