Scoots and Dana thanks so much for taking care of Aunt Gert. She has done so much for me.over the years. I will miss the phone calls and the visits to Southern Pines. She is also missed by her sister Doris. I wish I could have made the trip for the funeral. My prayers go to all of you.

Scoots, I will always remember Trudy with a smile. She was such a good neighbor to our family, and we always enjoyed her roses out front and azaleas out back. While there are people there now, nobody can replace Trudy in our memories.
