To the world's best mommy-in-law. You will ALWAYS live on because you left a big mark on everyone who ever met you. You were more than my mommy-in-law, you were my best friend, my partner in
crime, my sister, my Dr. Phil(LOL)my trip partner, and my rival when it came to your boy (lmbao). We were suppose to go pick up Rell together but now I must take that road without you complaining about my driving(lol). I Love you Trudy Tucker and I PROMISE with every fiber of my being that I WILL ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF RELE. I know you already know that but I wanted to give you my word because you know once I say I'm going to do it it's word. I now clearly understand EVERYTHING you were trying to tell me Sunday, oh by the way thanks for the potato salad again. I LOVE YOU TRUDY TUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. Ms. Trudy was a very sweet person. I can remeber every saturday when she would take my Granmother (Sylvia) to the store. They would always brag about the good sales they found and return with LOTS of bags. She was a very helpful person and our family will miss her. God has accepted another angel into his kingdom. Again sorry for you loss.

The Cobb & Brown family.

To the family: Trudy and I were classmates. That Great Burke High Class of '77. While shopping at Bi-Lo recently, I ran into Trudy, and we hugged and complimented each other on how we both looked after all these years. Little did I know that I would never see Trudy on this side again, but rest assured family, death is not the end for those who die in Christ, but it is the beginning. See you classmate at that great reunion.

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

I was a classmate of Trudy's and I saw her about a month and half ago and this was the first time, that I've seen her since graduation, so we spoke briefly and hugged. So it really saddens me to read this notice.
To her children and family, be strong in God who will strengthen and comfort you during this time and please accept my sincere condolences. I will keep you all in prayer. We must always remember to cherish each moment we have here on earth by loving one another.
