Today I had to let my little girl “Trudi” go home to heaven to be with her sister Maggie and her grandpa Jack. She has been a real trooper during her fight with renal failure since March…daily IVs, nausea, diarrhea, etc. She has been my child, companion, and friend who has taught me much about unconditional love. I am devastated and broken, but still thankful to have had her for 13 1/2 years. My sweet precious Trudi…play on! 10-9-2000 to 07-01-2014
