Trudy Ann Benoit Daniel: 04/24/1951 -04/29/2010

Dear Family and Friends,

Trudy passed away this Thursday, April 29, 2010, at about 3:40 in the afternoon. I and my family are so appreciative for your unbelievable support over the course of this three-year battle against cancer.

Trudy's lungs were so greatly infected with Pneumonia, that without her immune system ever gaining needed strength, she was unable to stop the progression. She died at M. D. Anderson Hospital in Room 16 of the 7th Floor ICU. Her husband, Robert; daughter, Wendy (and husband Kirk); son, Brian; and sister, Katy; were with her in those final hours, encircling her with love and affirmation.

Our daughter started this blog shortly after the initial diagnosis on February 23, 2007. Since the opening of the blog, some 35,000 visits later, we have never once taken for granted this extraordinary means of communication...and prayer. I'm sure there were many visitors to the blog who's identity we will never know. Many others have encouraged us by making entries to the guestbook. Every visit has been important to Trudy and to me. From the bottom of my heart and on behalf of Trudy; thank you, thank you, thank you!

Arrangements have not been made as of this post. As the date, place, and time is confirmed, we will post it here.

Blessings,
Robert, Wendy, and Brian
