I took care of Rudy and Gracie. I devoted my life to both of them, they are and forever more were fantastic peaple,Caring,loving peaple whom I wish I had more time with. They were not only my employer but my friends.When I found out that he was ill in Jan. it broke my heart .We all made rudy's last days as full as possible and did everything we could to take his mind off his illness and give him all our strentgh to keep going . He actualy Kept us going and barked out orders daily from his chair when he could. One thing is for sure since Jan. I have been beside Rudy for 24 hr's a dyy 7 days a week and he was the most important person then in my life. We were a blessing to each other.I got him a little buddy to keep him company back in March and he loved that dog and now that Rudy is gone he had to go to a new home (what a adjustment) Kila was his name and he loved Rudy just as much and it will be a loss for Kila too.Rudy I miss you and I will continue to talk to you everyday in prayer and in thought as well as I know you and Grace will continue to watch over me. Thank you Rudy for everything. rest in peace , God bless.......

I got to know Rudy in the last 3 years and I feel that it was a blessing in my favor that I would have that honor. Now that he is in the grace of the lord and in the comfort of Grace I know he is in a better place even though I now miss the laughs and sounds of my frogy friend Rudy. Rest in peace my friend
