Gertrude "Trudy" Franklin

Trudy was a thoughtful, smart and wonderful woman who always showed kindness to everyone around her. The world is truly diminished by her loss. Lori and Katie - please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Her memory will always bring a smile to my face and warmth to my heart.

Lori and Katie, Aunt Trudy was a wonderful lady, I will miss the times we had together, but remember them from time to time. She will be missed in your life, but oh the wonderful memories are always there! I still think of my mom and dad, and it seems like just a few years, but my dad has been gone for 23 yrs. now! My sympathies are with you Lori, hugs to you both!

Lori and Katie, my thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you both during this difficult time.

Lori & Katie,

When my mom passed it occured to me death is little like playing peek-a-boo as a young child. When you're parent disapears behind the sofa - you think they're really and truly gone forever, but of course they aren't. We simply can't grasp how it's possible that if we can't see them, but they're still right there. - Thinking of you and 1 Corintians 13 all my love,

Sending love and prayers to your family. .celebrate your mums life and the memories. ..

With All our Love & Prayers. Thinking of you both Lori & Katie as you celebrate your mom today. xx

Lori and Katie, our hearts and prayers are with you on the loss of you Mom and Grandmother. Even if miles separate us today, our hearts are close to yours at this time. I really loved your Mom, she was very good to me if I ever needed to talk or work something through. She always made time and almost always offered a level solution that seemed just right. My Dad always said "Trudy will know what to do" when he was stuck on something, and even if they had differences (A few?), they always worked it out. She was a kind, classy, generous, and fun lady. A great cook---Rectangle Pizza, a pantry full of preserves in CA, Spetzels with Rouladen, Carmel Layer Bars anyone (plus tons of other great foods!)? You were a friend for life if you were counted as one! From my heart to yours, my deepest condolences, Love Lisa (Dave and Elizabeth too). Peace, Aunt Trudy XXOO.
