To my best friend Anthony Henderson, my sister Theresa Wade, my mother in Christ Lillie Mae Convington and the entire Henderson Family.
I want to let you all know that you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers and we too feel the loss of our brother Rudolph. The lives of our families are connected and the love flows freely from one to the other. Over the years I have spoken with Rudolph, I have always found him to be an energetic, high spirited man, always with an encouraging word and always being a witness for the Lord. We know the scripture says, "Absent from the body, present with the Lord," and we take consolation in the fact that this was his homegoing.
Thank you for sharing such a special man with us.

To the Mother and Family of Theresa Wade in the loss of your loved one. There are no words to express how deeply sorry I am at the loss of your Rudolph. I can truly feel your pain as I have also lost a son but our greatest joy is in knowing that one day you and I will meet them again somewhere around God's throne. I will continue to lift you in prayer that our Father will bless you with the comfort that only He can give you.
Yours In Christ

RUDOLPH: MY BROTHER-IN-LAW YOU ARE TRULY MISSED. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOW WITH OUR FATHER AND I KNOW THAT YOU ARE JUST A PRAYER AWAY. IT IS SAID THAT YOU CAN TELL HOW A MAN LIVED BY WHAT HE HAS LEFT BEHIND. SO WE ALL KNOW THAT YOU LOVED BECAUSE YOU LEFT SO MANY WHO LOVED YOU, YOU GAVE BECAUSE SO MANY WANT TO GIVE BECAUSE OF YOU. I THINK THAT EVERYONE YOU CAME IN CONTACT WITH YOU GAVE THEM A PIECE OF YOU. I THANK GOD FOR BLESSING ME WITH YOUR PRESENCE. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.

Good Morning and God Bless,
I sit at my desk this morning reading my emails from yesterday and I knew that I had to respond to this one before I could do anything else today. I have known Wymon Henderson for approximately 3-4 years and I know that he got a lot of inspiration from his brother Rudolph, so that alone tells me that Rudolph was a VERY SPECIAL MAN. It is with the deepest of sympathy that I send this note, because I know that I have been touched by Rudolph because he was such a strong and positive influence in Wymon's Life.

To My Oldest Brother Rudolph,
You know I miss you! Nevertheless, there is consolation in knowing you accepted the most important offer of all and that is the offer of salvation. In addition the life that you lived was truly a testament of God's word in action...you came to serve others. You had a gift for bringing people together. Rudolph, I love you. I thank God for you and the life you lived.

I have known of Rudy's perseverance through his brother Wymon. I have also known of his faith and his spirit as a result of what has been shared. In Christ, I share your sorrow and loss, but I would like to share a passage from Romans 8:16-17 "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together."

Dear Rudy,
What can I say now that you don't already know?
I was so blessed to have meet you, shared two beautiful babys with a caring father. Shared two beautiful boys with an active, loving and involved dad. Shared two beauitful men with someone who set an excellent example of what a godly man consists of. I will always love you for your strength of character, and you tireless efforts to your personal commitments.
IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE THE PEACE YOU HAD WHEN YOUR TIME CAME TO MEET YOUR MAKER. We thank Jesus for your comfort.
Thank you also for proving we are one family under god and giving all of us the time to be together.
We both agreed on this one thing, "we have nothing to worry about." :) Rest in Peace. Love you always, Karrie

My Big Brother: The examples in and wisdom from your life has guided, compelled, and challenged me to be different. Rudy, Words alone cannot express what you have meant to me. You have finished the course and has maintained a good witness for our Lord Jesus Christ. I look forward to the day we meet again, in Jesus name. You are and will be greatly missed! I LOVE YOU

Rudy was our mailman for the past seven years. I've never met a mail carrier before or since that would take the time during their route to stop and talk to me or the kids. I remember once him talking to my younger sister in-law about her life, and the roads people take. He was a good man, and we'll miss him.

We were very sorry to hear of the loss of your son, Donna. It must be extremely hard to have lost a second one.
Our son is the same age as Rudolph and we know how much we would miss him.

Though I was never able to get to know you, I have been witness to the love that you generated in your family and with the Lord. Thank you for being an amazing example, a friend to all who knew you, and a part of my family. You, like my daddy, will never be forgotten.
"Brothers" always in our hearts, we miss you
