Rudail is my Brother, and we all love him so very much. This is such a shock to our family, we just can’t imagine our lives without him in it . He was a good Christian man , and we know that he is home with the Lord. That is the main thing in this life is to be prepared for eternity, because we never know when the Lord is going to call us home.
To Charolett, and family we love you all so very much, and if you need us just call us .
