Rudy,
I am so blessed to have been able to be apart of your life. You accepted me into your family with open arms and I always felt like I was another daughter to you. It's very hard with you gone, it helps us knowing that both you and Hunter are at peace and there is no more pain. I will miss you and always cherish the memories that we shared. I promise to keep my head lights clean.
All my love, Emily.

Rudy what can I say Im going to miss you. There are people that come into your life that ya just know were supposed to be there,you were definately one of those people for me. I was lucky enough to meet fall in love with and marry your daughter. As an added bonus join your family. Through all the years we were many times perplexed by you. We always knew though that you loved your family deeply. I want to thankyou again for treating me as a son and never as a son-in-law. You meant a great deal to me thanks for letting me share your life rest in peace Rudy p.s. Hunter quit barking

I have only met you once, at Emily and Jeremy's wedding. You were so proud! You sat at our table joking around with us, you looked so happy. I made you get up and dance and I think you actually enjoyed it even though you said you didn't want to!! What a great memory I have of you!
Betty and Family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Even though I actually never met Rudy in person, I've talked to him on the phone and through Betty many times. I'm so glad that I could help him enjoy eating just a little bit. My and my families thoughts and prayers are with Betty and their kids. Take care Betty, if you need anything please don't hesitate to call me. Many hugs to you, Dani
