Brian Rudd

I’ll lend you for a little while, a child of mine, God said
For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he’s dead.
It may be six or seven years, or forty-two or three
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He’ll bring his charms to gladden you and should his stay be brief
You’ll always have his memories as a solace in your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught below I want this child...

brian,
I miss you my friend. Untill Walt has passed I forgot to check your guest book. I think about you every day my brother and I can't wait to see you again, I hope if the Higher Power is willing I will see you soon.
You are and were like a brother to me. I will never forget the good times we had together. I hope too see you soon MY FRIEND, PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR NOT BEING THERE FOR YOU AT BAD TIMES.
I LOVE YOU AND YOU ARE WITH ME EVERY DAY.
KEITH

Donna,
I have such great memories of when we used to carpool to & from Sacred Heart together. I remember me, Brian, Susan, John, Karen & Caroline all going Treat-or-Treating together. I remember when you would take us kids for a frosty at Wendys after school.
I am so sorry, Donna.
Peace & Love to your family,
The Melloys, John, Grace, John, jr., Karen, Caroline & myself.

Donna and Larry,

I knew Brian as a little boy and thought he was one of the sweetest children I had ever met. He was my son's first playmate when we lived on Tempest Street.... I pray you find peace knowing that Brian is in a better place and is waiting for the day you will all be together again.

I met Brian through a mutual friend. We helped her put up a fence around her property. I remember it like it was yesterday...what a great guy. He will surely be missed.

Happy Birthday Brian...

Just thinking about you on your birthday which falls on Thanksgiving Day this year.
Boy would you have heard it from your friends...

Thanksgiving day is a time to reflect on the many things we are most thankful for.

I suppose our thoughts and memories would be at the top of the list.

I know you heard many times Father Madden say “Our love will not let a person die for us.
The ones we love are more present to us in...

Brians Birthday
Thursday November 22nd would have been Brians 38th birthday. The family is spending this day in celebration of his life. We loved him so much and miss him terribly. I know his spirit is within all of us now.
The family would like to thank all of you who have sent your condolences and prayers to us. You are all such caring and thoughtful people.
Our wish is that Brian will never be forgotten and through the things I have read and been told I feel he never will be. ...

It's always the weekends that are the hardest to deal with. Been almost four months now. I still wait to hear the phone ring on Friday and Saturday. He messes with me once in awhile, but it's all in fun. He tells me he has met all my crazy friends, so I know he's doing OK. I'll be there soon.
