Trudy was such a special lady. Always, always thinking of others. She was like a Grandmother to me. She will be deeply missed. RIP my dear friend. My deepest sympathy and condolences to her entire family.
So sorry to hear of Trudy’s passing. We use to exercise together and swap stories. She loved to cook and would bring me treats once in awhile. She was truly a great Lady and will be deeply missed.
So sorry for your loss. Hugs and prayers out you in this sad time.
Hold on to the memories, and they will bring a smile and joy!❤
I am truly sorry for your loss. Aunt Gert would make smile on Facebook and getting my Mom to share her views on this country. She woke Mom up, I never really could but Gert did! Still remember going to Chicago to visit as a boy, white house with big tree and a rock. Love that she was active. Proud to call her Aunt Gert!
You will always be in my thoughts and prayers, Aunt Trudy. Thank you for always making me laugh, and being such a loving, wonderful woman.
Bill,
I am so sorry for you and your family. Hope you can find some peace in your memories.
R.I.P. Trudy. You were a wonderful Mother, Grandmother, and friend. It was my pleasure in knowing you.
RIP Trudy. You are loved and will be missed by so many. Thoughts and prayers are with Trudy’s family at this difficult time. Good bye my dear friend and neighbor.
