Man, I still can't believe you're gone.
It seems like yesterday when we would take the music related road trips and we would scream funny stuff back and forth at each other in restaurants while the patrons would look at us like we were crazy! I remember when Mac Dre (RIP) was at my house and you came over and by the end of the night he was passed out in his Range Rover out front with the engine running and a Bruce Lee movie playing on his DVD screen! haha.... I'm sure many heard that tale! You were indeed a great and happy person. I can hardly remember a time when you were mad or negative. You always turned things into positives. You were always the ice breaker, no matter where we went. Regardless if it was bumrushing the gate at Up In Smoke Tour or Smooth talkin your way backstage at an Ice Cube concert! Your stories were priceless! Man you could tell stories with the best of them. I will truly miss your goofy laughs and sincere conversations. There will never be another Rudy Palma. I won't forget you Rude. Matter of fact, I'm gonna slide a copy of the Farm Boy cd in and listen to it. I love you bro... May you rest in paradise. Love Bean, Daria, Andrew, Jr and Davin.
KVE / Farm Boy.... 4-ever
May the Palma, Campos & Garrett families be granted the strength to carry on. Brandy, Catherine, Eddie, Eddie Jr., Tino, and all the rest of the family hang in there. Rudy is watching over all of us.

Rudy, it's still hard to believe and even then, I still think of you when you were growing up and you had a sweet spirit then and you had that same spirit when you left this earth. Since you moved to Merced we didn't get to see eachother as much but you never left our hearts. God bless you on your journey to eternity and give our little Dominique a great big hug and kiss for us. We know someday we'll all be together again. Until then...much love Auntie Loretta and family.
