Dad,
Wow I am so missing you. This last week had been a nightmare and i just cant wake up. Wish you were still here. I was really praying for a miracle last week, and I was so sure you were going to walk out of the hospital as you always have. I been sad and crying every day, Sylas always says, “Dont cry Uncle Rudy, Grandpa is in your heart or Grandpa says you better eat” There is a void in my heart that I can not fill and never will. I love you and miss you dad.
Love Always,
Rudy Jr

Dad,
I am missing you so much. Still cannot believe you are gone. I am so use to coming home from work and you asking me, “How was your day son?” We would also talk about your day and I would say, “You ready to make another bet dad?” Some days are ok but they are followed by many bad days. Wish you were still here. I still have a void in my heart that will never be filled. I love and miss you so much dad.
Love you Always Dad,
Rudy Jr

Rest in Peace baby With all my love….Virginia H. Cutaia
I miss you dad. Some days are harder then others. My Super Bowl Future bet came in. I have a feeling you were celebrating for me. I miss us watching sports and making wagers. We are now protecting mom as the promise we made. You were always proud of us and will continue to be. Wish you were here to see how we are doing.
Love Always and Miss you always,
Rudy Jr
Happy Early Birthday Dad. Wow I miss you so much. Hope Daisy is giving you a bunch of besos after you found her. I bet she was going crazy.
Some days are ok but they are also followed by some rough days. Trying to make it and keep your spirits going. Your laugh, smile and advice will never be forgotten.
Love you always,
Rudy Jr

Happy Easter Dad,
Really missing you and the holidays are not the same. They never will be. Sylas and Bernard say they miss Grandpa and they really love you. I love you so much dad and really miss you. Some days are ok, but the rough ones are more then the good ones. Miss us talking about who we betting on and just not hearing your voice really kills me.
Love you Always,
