Trudy, you will always be remembered as a good friend and co-worker and I think about you often. I truly miss your good nature and the fun we had going out to dinner with Jamie. I hope some day I will see you again in Heaven. Rest in peace, Love you, Sue S.

I was greatly saddened to read of Trudy's passing. We attended school together from first grade through high school graduation. Although I hadn't seen her in all those years since, I remember her fondly, and send heartfelt sympathy to her family and friends.

Trudy: I still can't believe that you will not be walking through the door at JMC. I will miss your smiling face and help at lunch reading the instructions on how long to cook my meal.
After I finished working on my rental house we were going to spend some time together and I will miss that opportunity to become a better friend.
I pray for your family so that they can find peace. God Bless and keep you.
Love you always

Trudy was a beautiful person inside and out. I remember when she found out she was going to be a grandmother and how much joy she showed each and every time she was blessed with another grandchild. For her children, your mom was truly a loving, giving spirit and I realize you all ready know that, but I just want to let you know how much of a priviledge it was for me to work with her and know her - we laughed so much and I will miss that.
May God wrap his arms around us all until we see her again.
