Carol, David and Paul,
Aunt Trudy was my favorite aunt and I am so sorry we have to miss her now. She and Uncle Nick were so so kind and considerate to me when I was young and when our family was is some turmoil.
I wish that I had lived closer to her in Arizona but life leads us to many places. God watch over all of you.

I would like to express my condolence at this time to your family. The Bible is a great source of encouragement at times like this, a comforting thought is at Revelation 21:3,4 where it states “…And he will wipe out every year from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning not outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” This scripture gives us hope for the future! For more information please visit our website at jw.org
