I was fortunate to be a student of Trudy's in the 1970s. Throughout my 37 year career as a high school Spanish/French teacher I used the methodology that Trudy taught. She emphasized the learner's needs and that teaching is a constant growing process.If not for Trudy's insight and passion I would not have been the person I am. Who knows? I may not have chosen the teaching profession. I am extremely thankful for all that Trudy has given: from her creative pedagogical approach to her boundless caring for her own students.

Sincere condolences to Trudy´s dear family and all of those whose lives she touched. I was her student ( in the 70´s) and would never have been the language teacher I was had it not been for Dr Moskowitz. She taught me so much and will be forever in my heart.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Please find comfort in the words found at 2nd Thessalonians 2: 16,17.

My sympathies to Trudy's family and friends. I worked with her for many years on the Modern Language Association of Philadelphia and Vicinity. She was a devoted colleague and a renowned champion of Foreign Languages. She leaves a great legacy in our field. May she rest in peace. I will remember her in my prayers.
