Gertrude Graves Obituary

Trudy was my Godmother and will always be "Dolly" to me. I will miss her always.
Dave Buzzek

Dear Mom: Physical limitations made life as you knew it, extremely difficult, yet you never complained. Because of that, I finally forgave you for being oblivious to the fact that during one Missouri vacation, in searing heat, while unloading the car, I became hopelessly trapped in the cargo area of the station wagon, between the dog's grate and the tailgate. You smiled at me and continued to wash the dishes for what seemed like an eternity, until Steve and Cele happened by to release me. P.S.- Congrats again for winning 1,000,000 Green Stamps at the National Food Store.

Dear Family,
Aunt Trudy will always have a very special place in our hearts. She and my father (her brother Frank) would have many long conversations on the phone. I was privileged to have been in the same room while dad tried to get a word in edgewise. Trudy would talk so fast that dad couldn't cut in. He had to resort to pushing the buttons on the phone so he could speak. On behalf of my father and my family I would like to offer our sympathy. I know in my heart that those we love remain a part of us forever.

Dear Sue, Alan, Jeff, and David,
We thought of each other as sisters. She was such an honest person, so caring, and she adored her family. She always put other's needs and comforts before her own.
I don't know what I will miss most about Trudy; I believe I will miss just everything about your mom.
Love, Auntie Eve

Dear Sue, Alan, Jeff, David,
I shall miss your mom, my fabulous Aunt Trudy, forever. Her laughter, her smiles, her delightful tales are wrapped up in my heart. As I write this, I'm knowing that Uncle Kay and she are holding hands and are overjoyed to be together again, now inseparable.
After the initial shock of the sad news was past, I had to laugh a little, thinking of the conversation that your mom and dad likely were sharing. You know how your mom was never, ever on time. Bet that when the angels came down for her, Aunt Trudy saw Uncle Kay and said "Kay, honey, I'm sorry I'm running so late. I'm ready for you to do my hair now!"
I cherish your mom's memory, now and forever.
Love, Amy

Trudy will be remembered in my
prayers always, she was a wonderful
person and a great Cub fan.

Dear Sue, Alan, Jeff, and David,
So many years have passed since we were children laughing and playing. It was a wonderful time of life. Your Mom was a special part of my life. I loved her laugh and twinkling eyes. She and Unc were very special people together and apart. I will always miss and cherish both of them as part of my life. Love Barb

You are in our hearts and in our prayers.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Please accept my condolences and those of the Officers and Members of Carpenter Local 1027 in the loss of your mother. There is hardly ever a good time to lose a loved one, but as we approach Christmas and the New Year, both days which many reflect upon at least the past year, you will be able to add this to you list of memories.
