I’ve finally found the strength to share my story, to put my loss into words. Everyone experiences grief differently, but the bond we shared was profound. I thank God for bringing us together, for the fate that intertwined our lives. When I met you over 22 years ago, I could never have imagined the depth of connection we would come to share. You took me in as your own, with a love that ran deep. You cared for me, guided me, and inspired me in ways that shaped who I am today.

Because of you, I became the woman I am now. You were my mentor, my confidant, and my greatest source of inspiration. I am grateful beyond words that you were part of my life. Losing you shattered me; my heart broke into pieces, and the pain has left me with sleepless nights and unanswered questions. Accepting that you’re gone is a struggle I face each day. Yet, my faith in God reminds me that, though you’re no longer here physically, your spirit lives on within me.

Thank you for the light you brought into my life. Thank you for being my guardian angel, my mentor, my savior everything I could ever ask for. Your love, your guidance, and your wisdom will remain in my heart forever. Thank you for everything.

Love you forever !!

Dear Elizabeth and David C - Roger and I were devastated to read of our very dear friend Trudy's death today.  We had been trying to contact her by email and 'phone after the storm in NC and have been very worried.  Finally we searched  Google and were very shocked and saddened. Please accept our sincere sympathy.  Trudy and Dave were our dearest friends during our time together in Tucson Arizona. We shared many wonderful adventures together, and had lots of fun.  Later our son Sam, a young marine biology student stayed with them in Illinois and Dave's found him lab work in his company. I recall Sam had his 21st birthday in Chicago with the Whitacre family. who were immensely generous  to him. 
it was a wonderful time for us when Trudy and Dave visited us in Auckland New Zealand. Our memories of Trudy as a delightful kind,warm loving person will remain with us always.  Our love to you all, her family. Liz and Roger Buchanan

So sorry for the loss of this incredibly kind and caring person.  Trudy was passionate about developing young scientists as evidenced by her many hours of voluntary service  in judging school science fairs.  She was a true friend and will be missed tremendously.

Trudy will always be a second grandmother to me. I lived next to Trudy for ten years in Glenview, Illinois. She was like  “God on earth.” I have known anyone who was kind to even the bugs. I will miss her dearly.

My condolences to the family of my friend Trudy. I miss her smiles and ready laugh! She was a joy to have around. I knew her first as a participant in preparing and serving meals at Greensboro Urban Ministry. Most recently we crossed paths at the YMCA pool, sharing the fun of the Chicken Dance. Trudy is someone I will never forget.
