I did not personally know Ryan. But, ever since I heard of his passing, it has been deeply troubling me. I can't imagine how his parents or siblings may be feeling at this time, however, I PRAY that the Lord will protect, cover and strengthen this family each day as they try to move forward.

The night I met Rudy, my son Peter brought him to our home in Stone Mountain back in 2009. Rudy spent the night with us and the next day Peter to him to the Tupac Amaru Shakur Performing Arts Center in Stone Mountain, GA. Rudy was about 16 new in the ATL and Peter was working on 'The Tiny and Toya Show'. Rudy looked up to Peter and wanted to hang with him; Peter was a great role-model for Rudy. When I met Rudy, I was sitting up in my bed when Peter brought him to my bedroom door to introduce him. I began to ask him about living in NOLA because I have family from Northern LA. Rudy sat at the end of my bed and we talked. It was like having my grandson talk to me. He told me about his life and what he wanted for his future. He told me about how much he loved his sister, Toya, for taking him in; he told me about him mother and he discussed the book he wanted to write about his life. We talked for an hour or two. I had gained another son. I told him he could come and stay anytime he wanted and that I would cook for him too. We exchanged phone numbers and I have called to check on him a from time-to-time. Rudy was a very sweet, calm, cool and mild-spirited young man that I just fell in love with right away with his handsome-self. My heart is forever broken over this sweetie-pie. May God Keep Him and His Brother Joshua in His Loving Arms. R.I.P. Rudeboy.
