Dear Family & Friends, 

As I write this, my heart literally shatters. Our nephew Rudy fought a good fight but our Lord in heaven decided to bring him home with Him to heaven. Rudy was so full of happiness, joy & life. He's the oldest of my sister Ruby’s children. Rudy, at an early age, took on the role of the man of the house, and father figure to his younger siblings. He was always responsible, kind and everyone who knew him would agree that he was nothing but a soft humble presence who wore a big smile brighter than the sun.

 In disbelief, I'm composing this message to ask for your help with any donation to be put towards the cost of Rudy's funeral expenses. We appreciate each and every one of you. We could never thank you enough for your continued prayers, and for the generous help in this difficult time that my sister and our family is going through.

With much love, and appreciation,

Erika Hernandez on behalf of Ruby Villanueva
