I do wish I would have had the pleasure of meeting Rula. Although I have heard so much of her since I’ve known Maggie that in a way I do feel like I know her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Maggie as well as your family. Those boys will always remain in our prayers and remember she is an angel watching over you now.
Love, “The Wyatts”

Words can not fully express the pain and suffering those Rula has left behind have been plunged into. My deepest sympathies to Rula's sons and husband, to Maggie and Angie and to their parents. I met the entire family in San Franciso in 1991 and they were all wonderful to me. They treated me as their own and for this I will always be greatful. My wish would be that they would have never experienced such an horrible tragedy. Zoe se sas.

"Sister Dear", left us too early, but God seems to take the good ones really quick. You and I were a year and 18 days apart, Mom raised us as if we were twins. We had a bond that no one can come close to, we understood each other. In high school, kids could not believe that were sisters, because they have never seen two sisters as close as we were. Part of me is gone and will always be with you. It was an honor to have you and love you as my best friend, my mentor, and my sister for 38 years. May you rest in peace, knowing that your three boys will be taken care of by everyone who cared and loved you.

Rula, my beloved older sister, will be greatly missed. She was almost 9 years older than I. I only have happy memories of Rula as a child. She took very good care of me. I promise Daniel, Michael and Niko that I will take just as good care of them. I love you guys! Carlos take care and you know Nick and I are here for you. MAY HER MEMORY BE ETERNAL!
