  1. Dear Trudy,
    We didn’t have the chance to know your mother, but we know she must have been someone special to have raised a great daughter like you. You were a joy to your mother all your life, and a huge comfort to her over these past few months. It’s sad to lose her, but we hope you feel good about the way you were there for her.
    Thinking of you during this sad time.
    Elly, George, Achilles and Peta-Nicole xx
