Vern, Ray and Michael,
Your wife and mother was a wonderful person and a pleasure to work with. My sympathies to all of you.
Vern, and family–she touched so many lives with her kind smile, her welcoming voice, and her joy of life. I am so lucky to have known her during my time at Marlin, and smile every time I think of her. Isn’t it like Trudy to remind us all during Holy Week that death is not an end.
I have wonderful memories of working with Trudy during my college breaks at Connecticut Limousine. We had many laughs together and I was so fortunate to have had her as a friend. My condolences to Vern, Ray and Mike. Rest in peace, Trudy … you are in the arms of your loving God.
Vern and Family,
My deepest sypathies for your loss. Trudy and I worked togther at Marlin and she will be missed. Our prayers are with you all.
My sympathy and prayers to your family. Trudy was a wonderful person to know. We shared many stories together. She is now back home.
To Trudy’s family,
She was a wonder lady and everyone that knew her from The Marlin Company will miss her. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you.
My life along with countless others has been blessed knowing your mother and wife. Trudy exemplified kindness, and caring of humanity. She was always there when one was in need of a favor. She was never without a smile or a kind word. Her spirit will always remain with us. Eternal peace is now hers. Bless you Trudy, and put in a good word for all of us.
She was filled with warmth, joy and positive energy; there was no one excluded from her kindness. We will miss her very much. Her Easter now is forever. With love to Vern, Ray, Mike and Family.
Our hearts, prayers and love go out to you Vern, Ray, and Mike at this sorrowful time. Remember always, how much she loved you. God Bless you. You are our very dear to us.
Vern, Ray and Mike,
Very sorry for the passing of your wife and mother. I had some good memories of her, when I first visited you in New Haven and in Wallingford. She just loved company and always laughed with us all…God Bless and keep her.
My deepest condolences on the passing of your loved one. I will truly miss Trudy, she was the nicest person you could ever meet.
My deepest condolences to the Michaud family.
My deepest sympathies to Vern and family. Trudy was the voice and face of The Marlin Firearms Company for so many years. She was a pleasure to work with – always a smile and always kind and caring. She was certainly one of the best.
May God comfort you in days ahead. Trudy was a very special person, dedicated to her passions. Saint Mary’s High School Alumni will surely miss her.
Our deepest sympathy to Vern Michaud and family. We were sorry to hear of your loss. Trudy was a special person. We are sorry that we were unable to attend her memorial services.
Mr Michaud,Ray,and Michael you all have my sincere condolences. Mrs Michaud was one of the most wonderful people I had the privilege to know. I’ll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Vern and sons: You have my deepest sympathy. But, after all those years on the Liturgy Committee working at Easter at St. Rita, I believe that she is going to have the greatest Easter celebration this year. I’m sorry I was unable to get to the wake or blessing service to share your sorrow.
She was a great lady. Here name will be in our Prayer of the Faithful this Easter. May she rest in peace, and may you be at peace!
