Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

By Christina Rossetti

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

My Cousin Rudy,,
Just wanted to let you know that I miss you very much, we grew up together and still to this day I can talk about all those summers we spent together and weekends at grandmas house. Going to the stream and catching crayfish is one the best memories I have as us growing up. When you moved to corona we become even closer then ever..... Going up with you was truly an experience that I will never forget. I would be there for you always and now I will be there for your family if needed. On those days I go outside and play with papa's I sit there and think your the one throwing the ball or walking him at the park. I cant replace the love that you showed but I know your there with us... The other day I received a TXT and all I could think about is sending it to you, I sat in my room for about an hour just thinking about how you would just laugh about it and send me something in return..Rudy you are my cousin but I always thought of you as my brother, you will never be forgotten and will always be loved. Your memories will live on forever and I'm sure I will be telling your kids stories of us as kids one day.
I love you Rudy

February 24, 2010

I wish I had known this man who is loved by so many. I learned of his death from an email I received from my niece Debbie. My heart felt sympathy goes out to his family and loved ones. May Christ support you and give you strength in this time of sorrow. For Rudy the busy world is hushed, and his work is done. May Christ’s mercy give him safe lodging and a holy place to rest in peace in company with Christ, who died and now lives, may he rejoice in the kingdom, where all our tears are wiped away. The Lord will unite us together again in one family, to sing God’s praise forever.
I pray for God’s blessings to you and all of Rudy’s loved ones.

Rudy, you were one of a kind. You made me feel welcome into your family and life. We were fast friends. I think of movies, and I think of you. You were a true inspiration. I miss seeing you around and inside the store. I find myself waiting for you to come through the door anytime. I'm sorry I won't be able to see you and hang out with you again. You were a great person/friend. You will surely be missed.

Rudy... I've never called you "Birdie" and I'm not gonna start now. My clearest memory is when you lived with me. You came home late one night and got into the left over cold Del Taco fries and started choking. I didnt realize you where choking till your eyes where bulging and your face was turning blue. I did the heimlich and fries came flying out of your nose (hahaha). You will always be the young kid that lived with me for a while. I love you and you will always be in my heart and memories. See you soon.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

rudy, you came in to my life when my kids and I were putting our lives back together after some hard times.just as I have given up hope of ever finding someone who really wanted the same things in life I did along you came with so much love and strength.I thank god for bringing you into our lives. rudy ever since I meet you I felt a happiness I hadn't felt befor,you spoiled me and taught my kids the real meaning of family. you left me with a precious gift and even though you are not here i know in my heart our baby is gods way of keeping you close to me.laughter was a part of every day with you.with your wonderful sence of humor that never stopped from the first thing in the morning till we went to bed at night.I dont understand why god took you from me but i trust him that I will see you soon in heaven,rudy I miss you so much and will always love you.see you soon, your fiance marissa.

Thank you rudy for being there when I needed you,and for giving me the opprotunity to watch you build up those you cared about. You taught me that coward dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies once. I refuse to say goodbye because its hard for me to believe that someone so powerful isnt watching over us right now,so when i look for the answears of life painted in the sky,i will always have a smile knowing you are there in a place where true love never dies. i love you. your cousin david

Just thinking about Rudy and recalling all the memories I have brings an immediate smile to my face! The best sense of humor ever! Of course it was usually at somebody else's expense, being that he made fun of everbody...always in good nature though. Rudy Mancilla was a true soldier, they just don't make 'em like that anymore. He touched everybody's life individually in a special way! I was so happy to see him so truly happy and healthy as I saw him in these last two years... BIRD, YOU'LL FOREVER BE MISSED AND ALWAYS IN MY HEART...I LOVE YOU!! "Jess da Mess"

We grew up together and I thank God we never grew apart.. regardless of what we had going on in either of our lives I always knew you'd be there for me if I needed you. I will always hold your memory close to my heart, and I will never forget you.. I don't have the words to express my condolences to your family, my heart goes out to them! I know you're spirit will live on through them in all they do as well as through us always!!.. "Gone, but NEVER forgotten!!" I Love You, Rudy Rene Mancilla..
Your Friend Always,

To all of Rudy's family, friends and "Homies" my tears and prayers and broken heart goes out to all of you guys. I know that we are still "numb" with shock but I do know to the depth of my soul that "TO BE ABSENT FROM THE BODY IS TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD" and just knowing and believing that, brings me much comfort. Knowing Rudy for 16 years and adopting him like one of my own son's leaves a void in my heart. He proved to me and my family that he truly did ALWAYS have our back. I witnessed him become a "MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART" from a young NON-Believing FOOL! He was "stabbed" with God's love and became a miracle of answered prayer. The last couple of years was the Happiest I had ever heard in Rudy's voice or ever seen in his smile and spirt. Marissa you were "INFECTIOUS" in bringing out the best in him and for that I am greatful and thankful. He was a best friend to my BOYZ and the memories we have will be treasured and his stories will be told to his children and grandchildren. Rudy's Lord and Savior experienced a very VIOLENT and tragic death and I encourage anyone who has not seen "THE PASSION OF CHRIST" to see it and feel the depth of such LOVE and FORGIVENESS. To my MEJO affectionately known as "Birdy" enjoy your new wings until we all meet again "SOME WHERE OVER THE RAINBOW...where a blue BIRD flys...sniff...sniff....

Rudy,
You were such a good friend to me and I am so grateful I had the oppurtunity to be your friend. I will always remember you. Your smile, your laugh, your personality. You will forever hold a special place in my heart. I love you Rudy. Thank you Marissa and kids for making Rudy happy and bringing out the best in him. You guys did what no one else could.

I only had the pleasure of knowing Rudy for a little over a year but in that short time I came to know a "good man". Whenever I went fishing with him I couldn't help but notice what a good Dad he was to Cody and Andrew and how much fun they were having. The same was true at birthdays and barbeques. He was good to the kids and he was good to Marissa. When I first started fishing with Rudy I didn't have a fishing pole or tackle (and I was always using his special bait) so he said he would give me a fishing pole. Months went by and I never got the fishing pole. Then, a week before he passed away he gave me that fishing pole...I will always think of Rudy when I reel in the fish. He was a heckuva fisherman too!! I experienced his generosity and big heart first hand and I saw him share it with others. I'll especially miss Rudy when we go fishing but I take comfort in knowing that he's with the Lord. Rest in Peace Rudy and thanks again for the fishing pole...

To the wife and children and the rest of Birdy's family, may the Lord be with you all, not only at this time but forever. To the children, please know that your Dad was a beautiful person. When you find yourselves missing him---talk to the Lord and ask him to confort you as your daddy did when you fell down or you cried. The Lord is the confort of your daddy. Please keep this in mind. To the parents and grand parents, stay strong and remember that the Lord is your strength.
