Not sure what to say?

We just found out about your loss. Trudy and I attended St. Katherine´s High School in Wayne Pa. and Immaculata University graduating in 1958 . I considered her my best friend during that time. We were actually looking her up to try to contact her, and saddened by this . Such fond memories of our youth growing up in a small town.

I worked with Trudy at LBL from 1992 -2000 and was in awe of her abilities and stamina. I learned so much from her. She was truely a role model for women in science and will be sorely missed.

I had the pleasure of working with Trudy as a member of the EX-Ls Retiree Association and her participation on the UC Berkeley Advisory Board. Trudy was wise and kind council. I admired her as a woman scientist and thoughtful leader. I enjoyed her quiet sense of humor and smile. She will be missed.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.
