Trudy was my first secretary when I worked at 1800 Grand. She was wonderful to me and helped me get started. We remined friends until she could no longer visit with me. It was wonderful to see all you family members Friday. She loved her family and always told me about the grandchildren. Remember the good days. I will be sending money to Hospice at Johnston in her memory. Hope to see you again but in a different circumstances.
May God Bless all of you.
