    Trula was genuine. Her love for children and grandchildren was like all other grandmothers. I never knew her to beat around the bush. Her straightforward way was refreshing. I will truly miss her in all things we did together. I am so sorry I can’t be there for the family. I am praying for all of her family as they once again have to deal with death, life’s finish line.
