I knew Rusty years ago before Robbie was born. He was so proud of his little baby boy. We were good friends back then and I am so sorry to hear of his tragic death. May God be with all the family and comfort you during your time of sorrow.
Rest in Peace Rusty !! You didn't deserve this at all, the only comfort I have at this time is knowing you are in Heaven and are face to face with Jesus, and you are with your loved ones who have passed on before.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Rusty when we were kids all staying with the "aunts". It has been years since I saw him, we all stay so busy we don't take time to keep in touch with family. Tonya, I would love to hear from you.

Robbie, Lacey and Tonya,
My prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. Rusty and I did not get to see each other much as adults except for a few times over the years, but we shared more childhood memories than I could ever retell. I am very sorry to learn of his passing.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him.
