Thinking of you all during this very hard time!! Praying for peace and comfort. Sending you all lots of love and comforting thoughts.
Uncle Rudy had such a distinctive laugh, voice, and spirit that my memories of him from my youth remain clear. My deepest sympathies are with Aunt Hedy and Karen as you navigate this immeasurable loss in the days, weeks, and months to come. My heartfelt sorrow also goes out to Drew and Lauren. I also lost a beloved grandparent this year and it’s just so difficult to deal with some days. Love to you all, and I hope we can all be together some day soon.
Rudy was a wonderful older brother to me as we were growing up. He was kind, gentle, and caring. Rudy’s love for his family was as big as his heart. May you all find peace and comfort in your loving memories of him.
