All the fun times we had working at the Garden Lounge. The many years of memories. Even if we didn’t see each other often we could pick up as if it had only been a day apart. We will see each other some day. RIP my sister.

With all the memories, we will go on. Trudy was a heart sister, I will miss her terribly. We could go months without talking, then set and try to save the world like we had spoken yesterday. My girls are missing Aunt Trudy too.
Remember the good times, Charles, and your heart will heal over the missing spot. Still love you,boy.

Trudy was always so sweet when the family would visit Grand Traverse Pie. She was never too busy to come to the window to say hello, chat with the kids, and give them a little treat. Trudy will be missed. Condolences to the family.
