Mrs. Bean was a sweetheart. She let us have little parties in her back yard. We were called the 31st street gang. Except not the kind of gang you hear about today. Just a group of kids having a good time. She had rules and yet we always had fun. So sorry for your loss Julie. Sorry I wonâ??t be able to attend her services, we donâ??t get back from Az until Sunday. Thinking about you .
Growing up across from this amazing family and calling Trudy my second mom was a true blessing. There are to many fond memories of Trudy to share in this short space, but I want the family to know I loved her like family and will always be a part of me. Dave, Kenny and Julie praying for you and love you like family.
