I am sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and family. I am sure she is so happy to be with Charles and little Charles and is in no more pain.
My condolences go out to Fannie, Treva, Joe and all Trudy’s dear friends. She was loved by many. She fought a long hard battle but never gave up. She was very strong willed but God finally told her it was time to come home. She is with her husband and son that she cherished so much. Smile that smile Trudy because I know you are happy to see them again. Rest in peace my dear friend.
Trudy, My heart is breaking and tears are falling as I am writing this. I am in total shock. Do not want to believe this.
But I know you have to be happy with Little Charles, and Charles Paul. I can just see you now, with all the hugs.
I will be crying and missing you for a long time, but I know you are not in pain any more. . You will always be my special sister. We always had so much fun together.

So sorry to hear of the loss of Trudy Batten Paul. Trudy you will be missed.
You should have been a “Turner” as you were certainly one of the “Turner girls”. All of us have loved you for so many years. I know you are finally well and you are with Little Charles & Charles. I know you have already cooked them a good meal and a carrot cake…Will miss you bunches! Say hello to our other sisters Gladys & Peggy . I know you all are telling a bunch of stories and Peggy is saying ” I know that is a lie!” Love you–“Little Turner” as your daddy always called me.
I praise the Lord that this is not the final home for believers, we are all pilgrims just passing through. From the classmate that alphabetically followed Trudy Batten , Zelma Batten Scott
