I am sorry for your loss. My wish for the Ruppert/Andersen family is that "your crushed spirit and broken heart" be comforted by prayers, support and love from family, friends and loved ones. Your memory of her will never be forgotten.

My beautiful bride. :)

My beautiful wife, I saw you pass and I'm so heartbroken. However, you passed away peacefully (as was your wishes) so my heart is glad for you that you didn't have to suffer any longer. We thought you beat cancer, unfortunately your heart could not take any more stress of treatment and of life. God has taken the pain away, and now you are enjoying the grace of God's love at the side of Jesus. I will do everything in my power to make sure your services do you proud. Say hello to little Brandon for me, as I know you are getting to know him as we speak. I love you babe.
