My sympathy to the Rutka Family.
Irene & Rudy were always so enjoyable. My mom & I did her hair for many years in Creighton. I then saw them when I helped at our Holy Family Fish Fry. Good memories.

Freddie & Bobby, please accept my deepest sympathies for the loss of your mother. I'm sure your dad greeted her with a huge smile & one of his famous bear hugs when she joined him in heaven. I hope you can find comfort in the fact that she is no longer suffering and is with her Rudy once again. God Bless you both.
