Rudolph, I'm at a lost of words! I been looking for you since I left El Paso almost 10yrs ago! Did not think I would find you like this my friend I love you with all my heart, me and the kiddos will never forget you! You was my Angel sent straight from God! And you were a Godly man and kept me sane whenever I was in a dark place in my life! You were like a father to me and always gave me words of wisdom and kept me strong when I was pregnant with my son! You gave me my son's name Joshua because you told me God told you in a dream to name my son that name. I'm so heartbroken because I wish I would had found you sooner to let you know that me and my kids are doing great in life! You've never left my mind when I left El Paso. I can't stop crying my eyes out right now but I know you love the Lord and he has welcomed you home into those pearly gates! God knew what he was doing when I moved 2 doors down from you! I had no friends or family there and I prayed for God to put someone in my life with me being far away from my family and friends. You were the sweetest humble person I've ever known and the strongest with everything you've told me you have gone through in life! I know you're looking down on us right now my Angel!! I will never forget your words of wisdom! I can hear you in my head right now as I type this! I thank God for putting someone like you in me and my children's life!! God bless your soul and I'll be praying for your family that you told me so much about!! REST IN HEAVEN MY TRUE BEST FRIEND!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
