Hard to believe it's been 20 years. Since then mom and Rey have joined you. Your girls all adults and living their lives, but you remain forever young. You are missed for the warm and caring man you were as well as for your humor. Missing you still.

It's been 20 yrs since you were diagnosed. You were the first to leave the family. There are no more pictures of you as we get older. You'll always be forever young and forever missed. I love you so much.

Still think about you. Can't believe you've been gone so long. Watching how you suffered physically and otherwise gives me comfort that you no longer have to do so. Miss you as always.

Today, I went to Rudy's resting place. I was happy but also sad that Enedina was not with me. I found a white flower by Rudy's picture. I felt that Enedina was saying that"All will be ok". Rest in peace and party on you all. I went to Nashville this week

Hey Rudy -
Thanks to you I will never be without a colonoscopy. ;-)
Today isn't a special day. Not your birthday, nor the anniversary of the day you moved on, just thinking of you and wishing really hard that you didn't have to leave us. Those you left behind still think of you and mourn you and empty space you left.
miss you miss you miss you.

Rudy: Time has passed and years come and go. I just celebrated my 50th bday with juana and ana at my house. I came across our picture and could not help but feel sadness. I still cant keep these tears from rolling down my cheeks. I miss you not being here. But like they say " I am glad to have known you than to have not known you a lifetime. You truly touched every life you encountered. I miss you , friend.

You would have been 50 this year. Gone for 11 years, and yet there's still a vacuum since you left. The world is less gentler and less kinder. Miss you, my sweet brother.

Your day of departure is coming around the corner and I still cant believe you are gone. Your memory is still very present in my heart and mind. I still think about you when a mustang passes by, or UPS truck turns the corner or especially when I want to snap a picture. Your bright smile is still in my heart. LUV u 4ever. Martha

Hi,
Talk about not being able to just pick up the phone yesterday and letting it out. Well today I did what gives me comfort listen to country music, it reminds me of you. I have lately been feeling a bit off center, but I know that with faith it will all sort itself out. You absolutely allowed me to witness your awesome faith in God. I only hope that I am going & doing it right. I came across this nice message and I thought to post.
The Lord is my Shepherd = That's Relationship!
I shall not want = That's Supply!
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures = That's Rest!
He leadeth me beside the still waters = That's Refreshment!
He restoreth my soul = That's Healing!
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness = That's Guidance!
For His name sake = That's Purpose!
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death = That's Testing!
I will fear no evil = That's Protection!
For Thou art with me = That's Faithfulness!
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me = That's Discipline!
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies =
That's Hope!
Thou annointest my head with oil = That's Consecration!
My cup runneth over = That's Abundance!
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life =
That's Blessing !
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord = That's Security!
Forever = That's Eternity!
the Lord is crazy about you.
I thought this was pretty special, just like YOU!!!
What is most valuable,
is not what we have in our lives, but
WHO we have in our lives!
Only goodness and kindness follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
for years to come.

Hey Rudy, it's the night before my 3rd colonoscopy. As I drink this nasty junk they make us drink, how can i not think of you and all your endured without complaining. I can't imagine the valor, and patience required of you. As I drink the stuff, and want to throw it up, I say to myself, "suck it up", Rudy went through worse. It's hard to think of it. I will always miss you.

Its been 3 years, and I still miss you. I see a mustang pass by, and remember your white mustang which I called " your jalopy" a UPS truck, snap a camera and August is a sad month for me. And a great joke that makes me laugh its a reminder of what life is all about. I love you always.

God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.
Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for my family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.
In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.
Amen.
Rudy, three years have past by, it is still hard to not see or speak to you. This year was a bit harder not having you around, but I want to say that I felt your presence, especially that day in the ER. I found this prayer and wanted to share it, because prayer has helped me over the years. I thank God for having blest me with your love and friendship.
Missing you
Silvia, Jessica, Erica & Sandra (dee)
It was nice to see you on Sunday and get a chance to pray
in honor of Rudy. Silvia, it was especially nice to see the girls smile,
Keep up the good work & keep strong.

Silvia,
Two years have quickly passed, almost as if yesterday we said Good-Bye.
We miss Rudy, but only for a while, we will see him again, for he is resting now.
Receive, Lord, in tranquillity and peace, the souls of your servants who have departed out of this present life to be with you.
Give them the life that knows no age, the good things that do not pass away; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
~~St. Ignatius Loyola
Our prayers are with you and the girls.

Hey Rudy,
It's coming up on 2 yrs. Mom still misses you fiercely, but you already knew that. =)
I think of you everyday. Most times all it takes is a UPS truck, and sometimes the memories come at a higher emotional cost, but you are with us all the time.
I'm writing you to tell you about alex, because just now he reminded me of you. When you passed away, your friends from high school told us that all your friends were women. This I'm beginning to see in your godson. Right now he's at the house of a neighbor what is loaded with girls. They are ages 8, 6, and 2. You can imagine that he is enjoying that tremendously. Reminded me of you.
We enjoyed Wyoming, and you were there. At least Sonia felt you, i think. She started with the stuff that spooks Fidel's kids. I'll wait until next year to see if you'll be with us again in NS. That's one place you didn't get to see.
Your memorial is *finally* ready. What a huge pain that was! I think since it took that guy 2 yrs to get it right, I think it should take us 2 yrs to pay the balance. What do you think? =)

My dear brother,
I think of you every single day, but today I felt your pain. I haven't been at work for 3 days because of debilitating back pain. When I was in bed, nauseous from medication, I thought of all the nauseousness and pain you went through. Why did you have to suffer so much and so long? I can't imagine how you did this for eleven months without letting it get the best of you. Your strength and humility were remarkable, and unforgettable. You live in the hearts and minds of all your family and true friends.
I miss you EVERYDAY. You were so gentle and loving. It pleases me to see you in one of your daughters, and hope that her reflection of you remains in her forever.

Silvia, Jessica, Erica, and Sandra,
I love you guys with all of my heart. I just wanted to let you know that there is never a day that goes by that I don't think of you guys or Rudy. I thank God for letting us have Rudy in our lives, even if it was for a brief moment. We had the chance to create those wonderful memories of playing board games and having a good time. Best of all, he left us those 3 wonderful girls who remind us of him everyday! You girls are such beautiful bright young women.
I just recently experienced a true sign of Rudy still being around us. Rudy, thank you for all that you've done. Silvia, know that he will never leave your or the girls' side. He is always watching over you.
You four have really been an inspriation to us all. I continue to pray for you and the girls so that God may continue to bless you and hold you close to His heart.
I love you. My prayers are with you always.

Today, is a day I thought of Rudy. I remember how special Rudy has been in our lives. I remember a man, a son, a brother, a husband, a father and a very special friend.
When I think of Rudy, wow, too many thoughts come to mind but here are a few lines that come to mind; I miss his smile, the long conversations and the laughs that we had, talking about the future, time together,coming up with funny ideas, i.e. a $50 deposit the boys would have to have in order to take out his girl’s out on a date which would not be refunded if the girl’s were late, driving to anywhere, especially, driving down Lake Shore Drive, hanging out in high school not worrying about tomorrow, remembering good times, his protective love, caring nature, excellent listening ability, his faith, strength, hope, …etc.
I also remember that Rudy would call me around this time to talk, catch up, and we would talk about my mom, boy, I sure miss those calls.
We will meet again someday………
Here are a few other words that, well, just read on:
Sometimes in life, one is Blest to find a special friend;
Someone who changes your life just by being a part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop;
Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world.
A friend is someone that reaches for your hand
And touches your heart
I would rather live one day knowing you are my friend than live forever without you by my side
Silvia, Jessica, Erica, and Sandra we will always be here for you. Time has a way of changing things; I have seen it first hand. No matter what, we will always pray for you guys. I dreamt you guys, Rudy was watching over you all. It was nice to see Rudy healthy. When I dream Rudy I feel like I get a hug from Heaven.
Take care
We miss you guys
read on:
I asked the Lord to bless you.
As I prayed for you today
To guide you and protect you
As you go along your way....
His love is always with you
His promises are true
No matter what the tribulation
You know He will see us through
So, when the road you're traveling on
Seems difficult at best
Give your problems to the Lord
And God will do the rest.
"I wish for you..."
Comfort on difficult days,
Smiles when sadness intrudes,
Rainbows to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss your lips,
Sunsets to warm your heart
Gentle hugs when spirits sag,
God Bless ;)

Silvia and my 3 monkies,
I just wanted to say how proud and inspired i am by all of you. I feel privileged to be a witness to such strength and fortitude and the willingness to go on. I am sure Rudy is proud of all of you, your accomplishments as a family, your love for eachother, and your desire to live life to the fullest. I love you all and I want you to know I will continue to be here for you as I have been, and we will continue to make memories, whether it's going to the Sox games and rooting for Paulie or Joe, or our trips to American Eagle, and i will continue to feel privileged every time i see the smiles on your faces. All My Love

Dearest Silvia and beautiful girls my prayers are with you always. A few versus of encouragement, let it be known that:
Cursed be he that perverth the judgement of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.
The Lord preserveth the strangers: he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
He doth execute the judgement of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
May God give you Peace in your loving hearts and those who judge shall be judged. May all of their consiences be clear. I know that God has a spot for you right next to your loving husband.
God Bless you now and always.
With much love.

Hey Compadre,
Life, is sure different without you here. Julian and David learned how to dance cumbias I was shocked you would have been surprised as well. We think of you often which I can bet you know that already.
Well, here is a mushy thought
My Heart
My Heart is sore
My Heart is sad
My Heart misses you
My Heart grew because of you
My Heart smiles because of you
My Heart still misses you
My Heart is happy thinking of you
My Heart is stronger because of you
My Heart beats now and always because of the memories of you
My Heart hopes for the day we will beat together
My Heart will never forget you and your love
God Bless

Rudy, I will hold your family in my prayers always.
Here are a few lines of Friendship that many felt.
You are the best of me.
Missin my Best Friend, my Compadre and brother
Friends: A sudden thought strikes me—Lets us swear eternal Friendship
Have no friends not equal to yourself.
He who throws away a Friend is as bad as he who throws away his life.
When ill befalls a Friend’s kind eye beams comfort.
A faithful friend is a strong defense: and he that hath found such found a treasure.
Forsake not an old friend, for the new is not comparable unto him.
A Friend is, as it were, a second self.
Never injure a friend, even in jest.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
A Friend in need is a friend indeed.
A Friend is long a-getting and soon lost.
A Friend should bear his friends infirmities.
Life without a friend is death without a witness.
Friends are a second existence.
When a Friend asks there is no tomorrow.
Choose thy Friends like thy books, few but choice.
Make not thy Friend too cheap to thee, nor thyself too dear to him.
A true Friend unbosoms freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventure boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously and continues a Friend unchangeably.
If you have one true Friend you have more than your share.
May it Please God not to make our Friends so happy as to forget us!
A brother may not be a friend, but a Friend will always be a Brother.
I want some to laugh with me, someone to be grave with me, someone to please me and help my discrimination with his or her own remark and at times, no doubt, to admire my acuteness and penetration.
A Friend is a person with whom I may be sincere, Before him I may think aloud.
Few there are that will endure a true Friend.
When we lose a Friend we die a little.
Faithful Friends are a sturdy shelter: who ever finds one has found a treasure.
Faithful Friends are beyond price; no amount can balance their worth.
Faithful Friends are life-saving medicine; and those who fear the Lord will find them.
God Bless

Hello Silva
You have so much strength in your tiny body. I have you in my prayers always. Don't ever think twice on calling me to vent, cry, or laugh. I love our long phone conversations and hope they never end no matter how far apart we are in this world. Hug the girls for me!
Love you,
Tina
Hello Girls-
I love spending time with all of you. Your three little faces bring me so much happiness. You are always welcome at my house anytime you want. Give your mommy losts of hugs for me.
Love you,
Auntie Tina
Rudy-
I know you are watching over all four of your girls. You will see all their accomplishments from above and be proud of Silvia for her strength.

Sylvia, Jessie, Erica and Sandra,
I don't have to go into too much detail to tell you how I felt about your husband and dad. He was my big brother and "rent a husband" from the first day I moved in across the street. Rudy was the first neighbor that I met, he came right up and introduced himself. He could make me laugh so hard. Your Dad could really tease me about why I didn't have a boyfriend, to how I cut my grass wrong, and I would tease him about how many cars he had sitting in the driveway. When I was up at 6:30a.m. on a Saturday Morning, he was the only other one up and outside, taking care of your yard. He would tell me of all the things his girls were doing, and all the trips he had planned to take. I miss him telling me about his mustang and asking me about my day. You girls have your Dad's spirt of adventure and your mother's tenacity for life.......That will take you very far in life.
I know what happened to your Dad is not fair, and you will be mad or sad at times and want to just get away. You know you can always come to Aunt Heather's house and make cookies or watch a movie and just talk, about whatever is on your mind. You girls have to take care of your Mom and give her all your love, and all that love that your Dad has for her too. I know how selflessly your Mom took care of your Dad. I saw the lights on at 3:00a.m., when he needed medicine. How she always put him first and made him as comfortable as could be, whether at home or in the hospital. Your mom never complained or said she was tired. For everyone reading this: You have to write a small note of encouragement in here for Sylvia. See, when Rudy took his journey eveyone was there to make sure he made it safely. But now two weeks have gone by, and I don't see as many cars stopping by, or hear of people calling to check on the girls. Yes, life does go on no matter how much we miss Rudy. But I know that Rudy is giving us signs through our everyday life to be there for Sylvia and support his girls anyway we can. If you can stop by and share a story of Rudy with Sylvia her door is always open. If you can treat the girls to DQ one day after work, they would love it. A lot of people loved Rudy, I could see that at his Wake. And if you really love Rudy, you will love what made him the happiest, His wife and children, and help them in anyway, large or small that you can. Sylvia,(my sister) I will be here for you, day or night, this week and in 10 years from now. The neighborhood wants you to be able to make Rudy's wish come true. He wanted the girls to grow up here and go to school here. We will help you anyway we can. As I sit here, looking out the window at the girls riding their bikes and playing in the driveway,I share with you that I hope that is something I can see out my window for many days to come. Rudy, I know you are watching all of us, and you know who is doing what you asked.......It is such an honor to have known you and to have spent time with you and your family. I will always know I have an angel in my corner , and when I finally do get married I hope I'm bleassed enough to find a man that treats me the way you treated your family and friends. May God bless Slyvia and your precious girls.
Love you, Aunt Heather

Dear Silvia and the Marquez Family,
I remember the first time I met Rudy. I was at the Marquez home and he came up to me and said hi I'm Rudy and I'm going to be in your class one day. Well, he was in my class and he was a wonderful student. Conventional wisdom tells us that students learn from teachers, well the opposite is the case for me. I learned a lot about nobility and strength from Rudy during the past half a year. He was a maginificent father, husband, son, brother, and friend. It was an honor to have known him. Rudy definitely had an impact on the people he met. I remember going to a Sox game this year with him and his family, my wife and son. My son is 24 years old and he came away that night with wonderful memories of Silvia, the three girls, and Rudy. He was so impressed with how Rudy, who you could tell was in pain, was so concerned with how everyone else was enjoying the game My son also saw Rudy so lovingly talk with his three daughters during the game. Rudy obviously had an impact on my son that day. Some people, unfortunately, never impact anyone in this journey called life. Rudy did have a positive influence on the people he met and that is his legacy. What a wonderful legacy it is too!
Love,
Carlos Tortolero
The best day of our lives.

Where do I start, I don't know, but here we go. Silvia you are one of a kind (an Angel). The Lord has a special place up there reserved for you, next to Rudy. Since we were young , you took care of us. Mom & Dad were struggling to make ends meet. In the mornings you would wake us up, make us breakfast, made sure we brushed our teeth, and made it to school on time. When we were sick and home alone, you would make sure we took our medicine. Over all, our family struggled and fought as a unit. Then you get married, you were so happy and we were too. Why wouldn't anybody be happy, Rudy is one of a kind, very hard working, extremely educated, cordial, loving, funny, a great son, dad, husband, uncle, brother-in-law, and I could keep going on for days. Together, you two planted three seeds and watched them grow into beautiful Rose Bushes. Once again you did an excellent job taking care of your family. Then the love of your life is diagnosed with this terrible illness. Together your family stepped up, rolled with the punches, and fought as a unit. Rudy I know you're reading this so I have to be nice. J.K. Rudy when anybody else would've folded, you came out fighting. When most of us would've threw in the towel, you demanded more rounds. Your courage & love for life will definitely live on through me as well as many others. When you were diagnosed, I put my self in your shoes and I would've locked myself in the house refused to face the world. On the contrary, you decided you wanted to go apple picking and this is the picture we took as a family. You admired every cloud, the sun, the trees, the birds, the apples, the fresh air, and so on & so forth. Everything the Lord has given us and we take for granted. You are an Angel, a role model, a warrior, and extremely full of energy. You are where we want to be and someday we will be together again. We can play that last game of Golf we never made it to, Outburst, Guesstures, Bowling, and Battle of the Sexes (I don't know how you knew those answers) L.O.L. Either way we'll pray for you and you watch over your Rose Bushes and we'll continue to water them and make sure they stay beautiful without getting damaged.
Silvia, one more time you will continue to take care of your family and eventually be able to just relax, watch the girls move on with their lives, and follow your dreams. As long as I'm alive & healthy, you will never have to worry about a roof over your head or food on the table. It will be a long journey, but just like we were raised, we will go through it as a unit. With alot of love and our deepest sympathy, may Rudy rest in peace.
From your Brother and Family, Love you very much keep your head up.

"When through one man a little more love and goodness, a little more light and truth comes into the world, then that man's life has had meaning."
Rudy, I never knew you, personally, but know of the love you shared with each and every member of your family. I'm saddened by the loss of your life, yet know your spirit lives on in all of us...

Rudy,
You have changed the meaning of the words courage and strength for me. As I watched you fight this battle, I was amazed at your continual bravery and positive attitude. You never gave up. Besides your inner strength, I know you also got strength from your family. They never left your side. (I know your mom wasn’t happy unless she was with you.) It was wonderful to see the love and support you all gave each other. I am thankful that I got to be a part of that too. Your family is one of a kind.
Memories of your humor and quick wit keep floating into my thoughts. You could always make me laugh. Luis and I continue to laugh as we share stories of you. You are loved by so many people.
Kerry =)

Rudy,
it was an honor that you accepted me as one of your brothers. As selfish as this may sound I really enjoyed the last few weeks we had together when you stayed over at my house to receive the special care only a mother can give. I will always remember your quick wit, your big heart and your constantly positive attitude for life, no matter how bad the situation appeared to be. You fought the battle with an astounding bravery and never expected any pity from anyone in your fight against the cancer.
I am eternally thankful that I had the very special honor to be there for you when you decided it was time to let go and set yourself free.
Your physical appearance might be gone, but your spirit and memories are constantly with us.
Your loving brother,
Thomas

Silvia,
You and I have been in each other's lives on and off since we were in kindergarten. You have been there for me when I endured my own losses, and you continue to be there for me still.
I want you to know -- I will always be here for you and the girls. I admire your strength and fortitude. The road to follow will not be smooth, by no means; however, your determination will make the journey all the worthwhile. You have ALREADY overcome many obstacles.
God alone knows what you have been through, what you have done, and what you will continue to do. Your children will one day understand that their mother did EVERYTHING she could to help their father, during his illness and after his death.
Your faith alone has guided your actions and has helped you during this tumultuous time. You are so fortunate to have your parents, siblings, friends and wonderful neighbors to help you in the every day realities of life.

Silvia,
I want you to know that I am here for you and always will be. My prayers are with you and the girls. I know that God is with you. That is the only way to explain your strength and courage from the beginning. You are an example to all of us. I can only hope to be half as strong as you have been. We have seen you take on not only taking care of Rudy by yourself from the beginning, but doing it with so much love. I admire you not only as my sister, but as a human being. In the hardest and saddest of times when we lost Rudy, you again came shining through and by yourself put together such a beautiful tribute to Rudy so the rest of us could say goodbye. The fact that you became a single mother did not stop you from organizing and paying for Rudy's arrangements yourself, once again showing the love you still have for him. Keep your head up and keep moving forward because God is on your side and so is your family.
I love you girls very much

Please know that we know that you are indeed still with us. We sense your spirit, hear your laughter, see you in the eyes of your daughters.
As we all gathered at my home the same day your spirit left your body, we felt your presence amongst us. It was a feeling of warmth that overcame us.
You will live forever in our hearts and memory.
I love you.
