£50 cash donations given to me at Trudy's Funeral so I'm including them here.

Trudy - a true friend. In my heart forever.

To Love and cherish , to laugh and cry, to hold fond memories dearly in our hearts

With Love and Hope, to remember and cherish, to laugh and cry and ever lasting memory to hold within our hearts.
Love from Floyd Nikki and Finley Bo

I'll always cherish the fond memories I have when I lived with aunty Trudy. She will be missed greatly and her infectious personality, the bum pinching and her ability to make you smile what ever the situation. A caring and loving soul.
May she dance with the angels and watch over us all with Nan, Grandad, Uncle Elvin, Tara and Stuart.
Our thoughts and love go out to lincoln, Andrew,James, Lisa all the grandchildren and partners.
Also to all aunty Trudy brothers and sisters who will greatly miss her.
Love from Floyd Nikki and Finley Bo

In loving memory of Trudy, a very special person and truly inspirational. Thanks for so many great memories.

You will always be in our hearts,
with much love from
Janice, Fran and Phil Buckley.

In memory of my beautiful cousin Trudy who had a special place in my heart. A special lady and a lovely human being taken too early. Will always remember your smile. RIP xxx

Thinking of lovely Trudy, who I knew as James's lovely mum and who never complained when we banged drums in her basement half the night and always seemed pleased to see us, James's friends. x

I'll lend you for a little while
A child of mine, God said
For you to love the while she lives
And mourn for when she's dead
It may be six or seven years,
Or Sixty-seven or eight
But will you, till I call her back
Take care of her for me?

She'll bring her charms to gladden you
And - should her stay be brief,
You'll have her lovely memories
As a solace for your grief
I cannot promise she will stay
For all from earth returns
But there are lessons taught below
I want this child to learn.

I've looked the whole world over
In my search for teachers true
And from all beings that crowd life's land
I have chosen you
Now, will you give her all your love
Nor think the labor vain.
Nor hate me when I come to take
This lent child back again

I fancied that I heard you say
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For all the joys Thy child will bring
The risk of grief we'll run
We will shelter her with tenderness
We'll love her while we may -
And for the happiness we have now know
Forever grateful stay."

But should the angels come for her
Much sooner than we'd planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand

Life without Trudy is:-
Riding a Horse without reins,
Driving a Car without steering,
The Railway without trains,
Bats flying without hearing,

Life without Trudy is:-
A Plane without wings,
Charity without a cause,
Sharks without fins,
A Tiger without claws,

Life without my Trudy is:-
Roast without potatoes,
Cheese without wine,
A Fireman without a hose,
Space without time,

The loss is like a:-
A Church without a steeple,
The World without people.
