My dear friend Greta, Albert and Sera,
Comfort at times like this comes from within, from knowing that your beautiful mother made a difference in the world with her kindness and gentleness. May the memories of your time as a family always be in your hearts.

Dear Albert and family, and all the Davidsons,
Our prayers and deepest sympathy go out to you. Memories, all good ones, flood back: visits to Kenora in the 50s;
times at our cottage in the 60s. Fast forward to law school days, visiting in Simcoe, and chance meetings at law conferences.
An awesome lady and beloved first cousin is now in heaven.

I’m very sorry for your loss. Trudy, your wife and mother, was an incredible woman. I knew Trudy as Mrs.Smelko and remember her as the best dressed teacher at St. Joseph’s, I always knew when she was coming by the clicks of her heeled shoes. I’m honoured I was able to know Trudy again later in life as someone my parents respected and thought the world of. As someone that I had the pleasure of hearing her have some of the most playful and entertaining banter I have ever heard with her loving husband Albert. I also feel grateful I got to see her love for her dogs and beautiful property as she walked and enjoyed both during her journey this past year.
Please know I will always hold onto these memories of Trudy and think of her often for years to come
With sympathy,
David Gallea

To Trudy's Family,
I was saddened to hear about Trudy's passing in church on Sunday. Although it has been many years since we had the opportunity to meet, I considered her a friend from our past. She taught my eldest child, Kathryn, was a colleague when we were both teaching at St. Bernard School, and we collaborated during many an Executive OECTA Meeting. I will have very fond memories of such an exceptionally talented, honourable, amicable and caring woman.
May the Lord strengthen and hold you close to His heart as you grieve for your loved one.
Sincerely and with deepest sympathy,
Angela Vidmontas

Dear Albert, Sera, and Greta
Our deepest sympathies on the passing of your dear wife and mother. Trudy was a shining beacon to all she taught and taught with. She was a true example of what being a Catholic teacher meant. We are sure Trudy will be looking down on you and your families and holding you in the palm of her hands.
