Rudy, Dwayne, Mark and the DeBose family, you are in my most heartfelt prayers. Uncle Rudy was a no-nonsense, man's man. I'm reminded of the BBQ's, family gatherings, his pepper vines and him yelling at us for stepping foot on his lawn. We thought little of those childhood experiences beyond not getting into trouble. When you fast forward some decades, you come to realize the values you've gained by heeding the word of such a powerful figure. Uncle Rudy taught us lessons to be passed down generationally. May he rest in eternal peace and love with his Dear beloved, (Auntie) Ann.
