"Sorry for the delay or I would have attended the memorial service last week. I work at Gardner Denver. Trudy hired me, but also knew Nancy and very fond of both Trudy and Nancy. I heard a lot about Trudy's family over the years. Knew Judy and she included me in some gatherings for Trudy when she was at Good Sam. Also remember Roberta and the buffet off 24th & Broadway. I am sorry for you losses... Pam (Terwelp) Laaker"
