Mrs. Barbara Winford and Family,

I just found out that my godfather passed. My parents saw the obituary and called me. Although I did not see him very often growing up, each time I did see him was like we were always in touch. My godfather was a very sweet man and I will miss him. I am sorry we didn't spend more time together, but I will always be grateful that over the last few years we got in touch and sent Christmas cards and shared pictures and messages between New Orleans and Virginia. Take care of each other.

With much fondness,
Paige Blache

My sincere and heartfelt condolences to the Winford family. Weeping may endure for a night but Joy comes in the morning. God can and he will mend your broken hearts. Rudy was a very nice man and he will be missed. He was my mother, Audrey Toliver's neighbor for many years. Whenever I would go there Rudy was always there or near there washing his SUV, cutting the grass, or putting up decorations. Those are the few things I'll miss about him. The reason God took Rudy from this earth is because he had a job in heaven for him. Take your well deserved rest. I'm not gonna say goodbye. I'll say see you later because we all have to go this same way.
