In college I spent a year abroad and was living in London. Aunt Trudy invited me to join her in Ireland for Christmas in Killarney and  for New Years in Dublin. It was my first trip to ireland and I got to meet many of my Reen and Buckley cousins. We had a wonderful time!

When we were young Trudy gave my family a gift of a week one summer at UMass Amherst. It was our first and only vacation together. We loved exploring the campus, eating in the dinning hall and riding the elevators.  Trudy was a thoughtful and caring Aunt.
