    Trude told me on some visit that I had with her , that she loved me the moment she saw me. That was Trude. My husband is the only other person who has ever said that to me. Visceral LOVE is so rare…. as wasTrude. RIP

    To all of my Antin friends,

    Your mom was like a second mom to me from the moment I met her in 1975. Your home was one of the happiest places on earth, so full of love, laughter, and fun. I will miss her dearly and I’m so glad we spent some precious times together on my last few visits to RI. I send my deep and sincere condolences to you all.
    Much love, Nancy
