I'll be forever grateful for the 5 days that he came to stay with me the month before he passed away. We spent those 5 days just being in the moment. We went to see the Missouri State penitentiary. We fished. We went to the casino. We listened to music and did art together. I cooked him home made comfort food and he thanked me after every single meal. We talked. We dreamed of a future where he was no longer struggling. He's no longer struggling. And I'm left heartbroken. Rest easy my son, until we meet again. I love you more than you could even know.... Momma

"Thank you" for your military service. Blessed Be to all

Sleep well sweet prince. You will never be forgotten.

I will always remember Rusty as a little boy about 4 years old standing in my living room singing every word to the Star Spangled Banner as well as any adult I ever heard sing this song plain as day and on key. I knew then how bright he was and what a shining star he would become. My heart cries out for his family as his passing has taken him too soon. I will always look to the sky to see the shiniest star and know Rusty is watching over.

He was a down to earth guy
