I am so sad to hear of your passing Trudy. I have wonderful memories of our relationship back in the late 60's. We were just learning about life and responsibolities and going out on our own. We had good times we had difficult times but we always made it thru. My brother met you and fell deeply in love with you. I know in my heart you were his one and only true love. As he has always loved you,,I have always loved you and will cherish those moments we shared together. Love forever Susan Olmstead

Dear Trudy,
I have very good memories of the years I spent in Los Angeles. We had some great time together and I learnt a lot from you, both professionally and above all personally. You became a true and dear friend. Despite the time and the distance I haven’t forgotten you and never will.
Thank you for being my friend. I miss you.
All my love,
Charo Requejo

I was fortunate to meet Trudy the last 7 months of her life. What a beautiful, fun loving, stoic lady. We became fast friends. We laughed every day. Her dog Amber was a friend also. They both touched my heart and soul. I miss them both so much. Love Judi Scofield
Good journey my friend

Dear Trudy, I remember so well when you were a baby and I used to give you rides in my baby buggy. Who knew then, that you would be my flower girl just seven years later, when I married.
So much time has gone by since then. I have many memories of you and your sisters Nancy and Mary.
And now Dear Trudy, you are in our loving God's arms, Pain Free in your new body.
We will never forget or stop loving our Beloved Flower Girl.
All Our Love,
(Cousin Patsy), Bill & Pat McFarland

Teaching was not the only career at which Trudy excelled. I knew her as top flight paralegal. She also remained a friend when my temporary assignment ended. I fondly remember attending a chocolate convention with Trudy when we discovered that you CAN actually have too much of a good thing. She was pure class and will be missed.

You were always a breath of fresh air and when I heard the news, it was difficult to breathe. I will miss you! You were a positive and wonderful woman. You were my inspiration. I also thank you for having such an impact on my son in 2nd grade 2004-2005. He and I were both lucky to have you... thank you for just being you.
With Love,
Ana

Dear Trudy...The best year of my teaching was the year I teamed with you. I learned more from you than you ever knew. And it was a hell of a lot of fun. You were one of a kind and will be remembered and missed.

We held on tight and laughed our way through the windy road. We got to our destination and smiled. Let's go back.

Hard to believe you are gone. I will remember your sense of humor, your honesty and frankness. I will remember the years we spent going to lunch together and the year I taught next to you. You were no nonsense and seemed hesitant to take compliments, like the things you did were "no big deal" But I watched first hand the love your students had for you. I watched first hand the work you put in to your teaching. I watched first hand as you saved the life of your student who collapsed on the playground. For all the things you did, you were a "big deal" to the students and teachers at Eagle Rock and you will be missed!
