I have finally found my dear childhood friend only to find I missed her by mere months. Trudy and I were inseparable from grade 1 to grade 6 with a couple of visits as teenagers. I will truly miss you, my dear friend, and wish I could have shared some time with you again. I have thought of you often and all the fun times spent with you and your sister and your brothers. You made an impact on my life that has stayed with me to this day and I always missed you. My deepest sympathies to all who loved her.

I am so sorry to hear of Trudy's passing. She was a good friend and I am truly sorry I was not there for her while she was so ill.

Dear Tim, Vicci, Hailey and Grady,
It was with sadness that we read of the death of your Sister/Sister-in-law/Aunt Trudy at such a young age. The obituary you have written presents her as a fine lady "stubborn and courageous" in her long battle with cancer. It also leads us to believe that she was much loved by you, her Family, ("the comedians and the sourpuss" ! ! ! all).
We are sending this message to you on Valentine's Day - The Day of Love, and we are wrapping it in loving thoughts and prayers for Trudy Anne and all those near and dear to her.
