Tom & Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time, losing someone so dear to you.
Trudy was a very sweet, loving lady. It was a privilege to know her and you, Tom. You both, as well as your families, will be remembered in my prayers and Masses, especially on Christmas Day.
