I was so saddened to hear the news about Trudy. We danced together at Cozzubbo's so many years ago and I have such fond memories of the groups we danced together in and the enjoyment we shared.

My deepest condolences to her family at this difficult time.

We knew Trudy through her dancing years with our daughter, Edwina, at Cozzubbo's. She was a lovely dancer, her form and grace exhibited her kind and warm personality. We are so saddened to hear of her passing, but know we were all enriched by her while with us.

I was so sad to hear about Trudy. She was my first school friend when my family moved to Calgary in 1979. We grew up together, going to the same elementary, junior high and high schools, and although we lost touch through the years, I often thought about her. She was a lovely person and my heart goes out to her family.

To all those who loved Trudy,
I am one of the many people that Trudy touched in her life. I met her when she was a traveling OT and appreciated everything about her. I'm so sorry for this loss.

I met Trudy on a "moms morning out" at the park two years ago. I will never forget how she was with Marcus, so loving and patient. She had the sweetest smile, and you could tell that Marcus was her reason for being.

Trudy was a wonderful person and a true joy to know. I am so honored to have known her.

My prayers are with Cesar, Marcus, and the rest of the family.

I had the opportuntiy to meet Trudy when she came to Calgary and thought she was such an amazing person. Last year I walked 60 km for Breast Cancer and I wrote her name on my shirt to show how devoted I am to help fight this horrible disease. I am so sorry for your loss and God Bless all of you.

Trudy was a wonderful and giving person. She always telling me about her family when I went for therapy. I would always leave there with a feeling the day was only going to get better. If there were more people like her in the world we would all leave with smiles on our face. She was not only my hand therapist but she became a freind,that I will not forget. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of your great loss.

Mr. & Mrs. Sorensen, Cesar, children and loved ones,

Trudy was an exceptional woman. Her unfailing strength, love, kindness and compassion towards others and her complete bravery would absolutely humble anyone that was blessed to know her. I am grateful to have shared a brief part of her life and to call her my friend. She fought the most courageous battle and is now at peace in the arms of our Lord and Saviour. My heart is deeply broken for your loss. Our prayers continue to be with you.

With much love and sympathy,
Tracie Bitz and family
