Dear Cinthya, Monica, Daniele, Rob, Else and Nico



I never really truly knew Rudy. though never the less my parents asked me to write something, so here i go.



Know this, death is not the end.

Every life is a test, and everytime a person dies it is because their test is furfilled and the Gods need them to return and prepare for the next test, every test is descined to make the soul wiser, for though a body may be mortal and compose, a soul will never perish, and at this stage is where Rudy is now, he is preparing for the next test, and you will meet him again in 500 years. Should you need his guidance before this time then you can always find him, in your heart.



I express deep apologies for your loss from the entire Clausager familly, from the deepest oceans of my heart.

I have always thought of Rudy as the Pixie: sharp nose, freckles, red hair and a huge smile.

I hadn't seen him for donkey's years, and so I shall simply always remember the pixie from my youth in Caracas, always smiling

and always bringing joy.

My very deepest sympathies to Cynthia and the girls (whom I don't know) and of course to Els and Nico. Long may his joyful memory last.

Love, Helen van der Pyl, Mallorca, Spain.

I had the pleasure of meeting Rudy through work. Each time he came by the office he had a ready smile and would always take a moment to talk. He was especially proud of his daughters and their accomplishments.

His wonderful light will continue to shine into the lives of those who knew him.
