We were deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your mother. We pray that God keeps and blesses you and carries you through this trying time. Remember that the Lord is omniscient (all knowing), omnipotent (all powerful), and omnipresent (all places). All you need to do is reach out and HE is there.
Be blessed!

It is with great sadness that I extend my condolences to the family and friends of such a beautiful child of God.
Ms. Rudy was not only a treasured mom and friend to her immediate family, she was also my friend and gladly took on the role as my serrogate mom for a number of months.
I find it astounding that she NEVER complained to me about her own condition and ALWAYS had an open ear to what trivial dilemmas I had.
I am going to truly miss her random phone call to check in to see how "I" was doing.
But I rest in the fact of knowing that there is one more beautiful rose added to the bouquet that is heaven and can't wait to see her again.

It really hit me like a ton of bricks, when I heard of your loss. Rudy was just like a mom to me, as well as a good barber. Whenever I would call her, and ask her could she be to the shop a certain time, to cut Randez and Jacobi's, hair she would be there. My husband, had just gotten comfortable, with a female barber cutting his hair once we were married, and he feels sadden for you all as well. I know alot of things, I shared with her, about personal matters, and she always had the right advice. We will truly miss her, but we will keep you all in our prayers. I know that you loved her, but GOD loved her best, for she found the Tree Of Healing and went on to take her rest.

To Stacey and the entire Riley,Gordon & Bartley Family.
I was deeply saddened when I heard about your lost.I will continue to pray for you. Being a God serving Family as yourselves,even though she will be missed a great deal.You will make it through,without a doubt.
Like one of the old songs we use to sing(G.C.C.C & V.O K.D) :
"Never Alone",You don't have to worry,'cause you're never alone.
God won't leave you,nor will he forsake you .I will continue to pray for you as you celebrate
"Rudy's Homegoing."
May you find peace,and May God Bless You.
Love,
