The call I missed did not sound as though it would bring happy news, but I also knew that Trudy had had many years more than most. A Google search confirmed it.
Trudy was such a lovely person, in many ways reminding me of her mother Lydia who was so loved by her family in Middletown.
How much I enjoyed meeting her (and Cindy) when the two braved a visit with a cousin they did not know. The phone kept us connected after that.
My deepest sympathies to all my cousins.
