Thinking of you today. I know that you are watching over us. May you guide Aunt Shelley through all that remains to be done and give her the assurance that she knows exactly how to carry out your wishes. Missing you today and everyday. All my love.

I have always had you in my thoughts - especially when I go on bus trips into NYC and other places we've traveled together. You will be forever in my heart.

Tribute to Trudy When the news came through I thought this just can’t be true If only I could click a pair of ruby slippers And start the day a new But then for a moment I closed my eyes And slowly began to realize To keep you here would be selfish It is time for our goodbyes. A beautiful smile upon your face Not a hair out of place. You look so peaceful lying there As a new journey you embrace The gates of Heaven have opened wide Charles is ready to be by your side Familiar faces welcome you home As you easily reach a stride And although you have passed on It does not mean you are gone, You will always be in our hearts Your memory will live on. For we all know that a holiday meal was never complete Until a monopoly board was set for you to defeat Coffee was your drink of choice And McDonald’s was the happening place to meet You were there on every special day A birthday blizzard wouldn’t keep you away It was just an excuse to find a chauffeur And give us all a little gray QVC always had the best buys And you were oh so wise For when you disapproved you never yelled You just gave us that unforgettable look of surprise But when you were proud oh how you would boast Sometimes I think to the whole East Coast Either way you always listened And knew just what we needed most Now it is time for us to listen to your last desire Hold our heads a little higher Smile open our eyes, love and go on Embracing the happiness each memory of you will transpire

I have so many wonderful memories of Aunt Trudy. Some of my earliest are going up to their house where our family had a garden. On the hot summer days Aunt Trudy had a tent in the front lawn where she would sit. She would bring us ice tea and lemonade and always had her dogs. I also have been greatly impacted by how independent and strong Aunt Trudy always was. Her spunkyness always made me smile and I knew I wanted to have a job and do my own thing like she did and I have. I have to believe that some of my strength and independent spirit ( moving away from home) comes from her. LOVE YA AND MISS YA AUNT TRUDY. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU

Our Family has once again been altered; there will be an empty spot where you once used to be. We will keep you in our hearts and memories. You are now with the rest of our Family that has gone on before. Make sure you let our Family there, know all about our Family here, and the wonderful new family members we have gained since they left us here. I will miss your teasing; I will miss your smile, your laughter and your sense of style. I will miss how you could put 100 words in just the way that you said OH!!!!!!!!! I will miss my partner in being late, cause you were always later! I will miss watching you with all our kids, because they made you shine. We really do not know what heaven is like, and I doubt that you will find a drive in movie, but just in case remember you and Uncle Charles are supposed to watch the movie! (Now everyone will want to know what story you have told me ☺) Find all the fancy shoes you can, because in Heaven you will never fall again. Our Love for you has gone with you, and we have kept yours here. Love, Shelley Keith Kevin and Kris

Trudy was the HR department when I started working for Pike County--she was a welcoming face and always had a minute to chat when our paths crossed in the hallways. My condolences to her family during this sad time.

Aunt Trudy, Life is but a stopping place, A pause in what's to be, A resting place along the road,to sweet eternity. May you find comfort being reunited with all those that have gone before you. Although we will truly miss you here I am sure that Uncle Charles and everyone else were waiting with open arms for you. All our love Alyssa, Alexandria, Stacy, & Pete. We love you!
