Condolence: My sincere condolences to family. Trudy was a true collaborator in this community, helping out in her neighbourhood association and other civic groups. It was my privilege to serve with her, in some of her many and diverse involvements.

Condolence: Trudy and I met in 1986 at the Rotary Children's Centre where our sons where having speech therapy. There was an immediate connection and we were soon spending days together playing with our little ones and talking about everything and anything. I was living in a small apartment, had a son newly diagnosed with a significant disability and was far from family. Trudy opened her home and heart to me and my children. I really needed a loving, understanding friend, and Trudy was all that and more. It was a sad parting when I left KW soon after Rebecca and Laura were born, but we kept in touch with periodic phone calls. There were times when I needed Trudy's intelligence, insight and compassion.

Trudy walked the walk every single day. The world is a better place because she was here.

Condolence: Years ago I was a summer student at the Social Planning Council of Kitchener-Waterloo/Community Information Centre of Waterloo Region. I appreciated working with Trudy. It's an overused description, but Trudy was truly capable of "thinking outside the box." She was unconventional, open minded and at times, eloquent. She wanted solutions, not excuses. She believed in doing better for disadvantaged folks. Those who are struggling with poverty, illness, disability are regularly overlooked, ignored and isolated. Trudy believed we could and should do better for everyone. My sincere condolences to her family. My thoughts are with you as you try to process her passing and find a way to move forward. To Trudy's children, I would like to say your mother loved you fiercely. She will always be with you. All my sympathies. Rest now, Trudy.

Condolence: I was blessed to work on committees with Trudy -years ago which shaped my values, philosophy and career. My sympathies to family, friends, co-workers and community.
"I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death.
They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make.
Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories.
We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love."--Leo Buscaglia

Condolence: I was so sorry to hear of Trudy's passing. I feel so privileged to have had at least a few opportunities to work with Trudy and to hear from her about the great joy her family brought to her every day. This community has been truly fortunate to have enjoyed Trudy's leadership for so long. I have no doubt that we will continue to hear Trudy's voice through all who were influenced by her exceptional understanding of the issues of poverty, disability, and humanity. My condolences to Trudy's family and friends. May peace be with you.
