Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Truyde was a kind and generous person, and always had a quick smile for everyone. She was very knowledgeable about stamps and stamp collecting. We have known her for many years at stamp club meetings and functions. She was a very dedicated member of the club, and especially loved helping children learn about stamp collecting. She will be missed. Chuck and Donna Kilgore

Truyde was a remarkable person and will be missed. As a fellow stamp collector, I always admired Bill & Truyde. We go back to the late 1970s purchasing stamps from Don Dorwart. We later became members of the Lancaster Stamp Club around the same time in the 1980s. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Greiner family. Peter Billis

It was always heartwarming to see her, and we will miss her dearly. She was a very rare individual who was genuine and caring. Our entire family sends our thoughts and prayers to the Greiner family.
