Hello Dear Friends and Family,On behalf of Trudy's family, we wanted to post as the final entry to Trudy' Blog, our expression of thanks to everyone who viewed this blog over the past three years. Each of you have left an imprint of love and compassion that touched Trudy deeply. Thanks a million!
I can tell you, that in everything that Trudy had to endure over the years of treatments and in the final days of Intensive Care, her faith remained steadfast in the Lord. One enduring trait of Trudy's was her propensity to relate every happening to a song or a hymn. If no known song or hymn came to mind she would compose the lyrics and find within her heart a suitable melody to fit any of life's experiences. We think that the last melody was a hymn that she was barely heard to be singing while wearing a full-face breath mask. It was:
Alive alive alive forevermore
My Jesus is alive
Alive forevermore
Alive alive alive forevermore
My Jesus is alive
Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah
My Jesus is alive forevermore
Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah
My Jesus is alive
As a reader, you helped contribute to more the than 37,000 hits on the blog. Over one thousand encouraging messages were entered in the guestbook. Each and every visit meant so much to Trudy. Each and every prayer was appreciated, felt, and needed. No words exist that can express our thanks...but from the depths of our hearts...Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Trudy Ann Benoit Daniel is experiencing precisely the reality she sang of, she is "Alive Forevermore."
Eternally Yours,
Robert,
Wendy and Kirk; Brian and Jessica,
Mother, Effie, brother, Carlos, sister, Katy;
and our big, wonderful extended family
