I remember messing around in the choir room in our highschool, like life wasn't fleeting and would never end. You were funny and silly. You made me laught and appreciate small moments I never would have held on to if not for you. You are a precious memory and I love you for that. Thank you for existing, thank you so much. I miss you.

As we watched you grew into a man your character was one everyone admired. When we attended your funeral and wept, we were better for the time you had with us. To your family, we honor the sacrifice of your believed and kind son.

Luke and I talk about you periodically. Then, I was talking about you with a friend of yours, Emmy Costello at church last evening. Rudy, you will always be in our hearts and thoughts. I found myself praying for your mom way early this morning. I then prayed for the rest of your family. I am thankful to have known you, whether it was at church events like Awana, on camping trips, watching you play football, or laughing with our family at get togethers. But thank you that you will be a reminder to Luke as he enters the Air Force to always, keep a watchful eye. And that His trust in Jesus should his first and foremost priority to guide him and protect him against "all" enemies. Miss you Rudy....see you in eternity.

But I think that I was meant to meet him. His story of his son's bravery and the sacrifices of both the family and his son's has humbled me. I salute you and know that his death will make a difference in our struggle for freedom throughout the world. I will write my Congressman and add my vote to correcting the problems that has taken your beautiful son from you. I am overwhelmed with emotions for you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Life, like a mist, appears for just a day, Then disappears tomorrow. All that we are can quickly fade away, Replaced with tears and sorrow. If a man should die, can he live again? Hear the promise God has made: (Chorus) 2. Friends of our God, though they may pass away, Will never be forsaken. All those asleep who in God’s mem’ry stay, From death he will awaken. Then we’ll come to see all that life can be: Paradise eternally. (CHORUS) He will call; The dead will answer. They shall live at his command. For he will have a longing For the work of his own hand. So have faith, and do not wonder, For our God can make us stand. And we shall live forever, As the work of his own hand. ( John 6:40; 11:11, 43; Jas. 4:14.)
