Rudee my love you are gone but never will you be forgotten. I dream of you often and you come to me as you were in your youth. I have a beautiful memory book made by Victoria and many cards and poems that were sent to me by caring friends.
Rudee, you will always be in my heart. I've placed your picture on top of the TV next to the urn that holds your ashes, it says: "Always remembered" on the front -- on the back is your name, birth and death date and these words: "Gone but not forgotten".
I'll always love you.

Update - Nov. 2000:
My beloved Rudee, it's been 8 mos since you've been gone and not a day goes by that you are not always on my mind. I know now that I did the right thing by letting you go, you gave so much love to me, you will always be here in my heart.
I will update your page again 3-24-01, hopefully after that I can let you go until we meet again.
All my love my beloved, friends and neighbors still talk about you and it is very helpful to me.
Update March, 2001:
Well my
beloved it's hard for me to realize that it's been a year since I held
you and talked to you and tried to make you comfortable.I know wherever
you are you are at peace and hopefully I will see you one day along
with Yum, Yummy, Bambi and Mudbones.
Know that you will always be in my
heart and that I will keep your picture with me. I have one in each room
so that I can see you wherever I go and I continue to wear the watch
that also has your picture on it. You take care my beloved and thank you
so very much for 18 wonderful years.
God bless, I will see you.
Your
Mommie, Emily
