With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: "Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:3, 4) - M. Stancil
We are deeply saddened for your loss. Rudy was a good guy. A gentle giant. When was a kid we had something in common. The love of comic books. He was older than me so I looked up to as a big brother. So when Rudy moved on as an adult. He gave me all his comic books. I never forgot that even to this day. That's the kind person was and is. Know that we are praying for you and with you. Asking God to strengthen you through loving memories of time spent. You have our deepest sympathy and condolences from Marion & Diane and the Curry Family.
"Jesus said to her: "Your brother will rise." Martha said to him: "I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day." Jesus said to her: "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life."—John 11:23-25.
But for the grace of God, we will see our dear Uncle Rudy again, in the resurrection.
On behalf of the Stancil brothers Bermell, Jeffrey, Mitchell, Miguel and Kevin, we express our sincere condolences. We love you family, very much.
