If I only knew the most recent visit would be our last, I would have hugged you even longer!
Rudy, you are a gentleman and a scholar. A kind heart with the oldest soul. Truly one of my favorites (and that’s not even something this girl ever says)
I’m so sad to say goodbye to you today, but I’m grateful to have had the privilege to know you and your family, and I hope your journey into the Next Life is smooth. You have always been loved. And we will always remember you.
Please post photos and names of your loved ones gone by so that Rudy has someone to greet at the pearly gates! I’m sure they will recognize him - he’ll be the one with the biggest angel wings.
