Trudy and I were roomates in Rockford during our year long internship at Swedish American Hospital. We kept in touch for several years but after her move to IN we lost touch. We went through a lot together and I always looked forward to having her return Sunday evening so we could catchup. I was so sorry to learn of her passing. I did not work the years she did in Lab work but I ran into her once at a conference in Madison and we had so much to share with each other. I am a breast cancer survivor now for 13 years so I know what she and her family have dealt with. I am so sad to realize another friend has been taken by cancer. Rest in Peace Trudy You were a great roomie. My deepest sympathy Beth (Counselman) Kramer Baraboo, WI

To Trudy's Family--what a wonderful lab director friend in the Madison area. We shared many laughs together, saw her at school functions in MH--always so upbeat in spite of many trials along life's way. So sorry to hear of her death. May you feel God's Loving presence as you mourn her loss. I feel fortunate that our paths intersected at a point in our lives. Blessings to all of you especially Laurel, Julie, and Charlie who she loved so much.
