Gail Garda wrote a sympathy message

“My deepest and sincere sympathy to Trudie's family and friends. As a member of TFA, Trudie was one of my two favorite "cousins" (Barb the other). I enjoyed spending time with Trudie at our annual reunions. Not too long ago, I referred to her as the "energizer bunny" whenever her health was failing she rallied so many times over the years. We were all blessed to have her in our lives. She has fought a long battle and is now at peace, breathing freely in Heaven. God Bless! (Gail Garda)”
