Dear Trudi and family – I was fortunate to know your mother for many years through the church and various organizations that she supported. She was a wonderful, giving and kind person and a great example of what a Christian should be. She assisted with so many services for my family and friends at the church and was there to support myself and others in their time of grief. I know that she will be looking over you and yours from above.

Hello Trudi,
I happened to come across your Mother’s passing and wanted to send you my wishes…I always remember your mom as a very nice and carrying person and I know losing her is really tough on you and your family. I hope the best for everyone.
