Hello Katie's friends and family,

There are several reasons for this special “Katie Trudgian” page.

So many people have sent me messages telling me how wonderful Katie was.  I thought it would be lovely if other people could read all those lovely things about her too. 

So if you have something you’d like to say please add it either by clicking on “Add a Story” or “Send a thought”, or you can add a picture and make comments on that. All in the “Contribute” section.

A few people have also asked if they can donate to a chosen charity.  There was no doubt in my mind which charity to choose for this as if it wasn’t for the wonderful people at Dorothy House, Farmer Pete & I would have really struggled to make it through the tough times over the last 8 months. The carers who visited Katie every day are some of the most amazing people in the world.  They didn’t just perform a set routine with Katie they really did care for her and about her.  They also made her feel special. The admin staff were also lovely and a great support to me.

The original arrangement was supposed to be temporary while a permanent solution was found. This proved hard to set up and Katie was reluctant to give up the lovely ladies that provided such excellent care each day anyway. She ended up being their longest ever patient by many months!

So if you’d like to help support this wonderful Hospice in honour of my extraordinary sister for all the remarkable work they do that would be great – thank you.

I’m also trying to put together a play list for the “Celebration of Katie’s Life” we are planning.  If you have a song or songs that were special to you and her please let me know by email, text or message.

Similarly we are going to make "Katie photo bunting" so if you have any pictures you can send me I’d be grateful.  I’m happy with photos of photos.

Once we have a date for the Celebration I will add it to this page.
