My niece Rudyne was an exceptional person, she had a tender loving heart, a strong belief in family, and was a dear friend. God chose a wonderful soul as his servant ,her love and dedication to him was inspiring. I will miss her sweet voice, her prayers, advice and how special she made me feel. I'll always cherish the time I was blessed to be in her presence.
Despite her physical pain and weakness she remained a dutiful Pastor. I remember one particular day we were having a conversation on the phone, it was Saturday, she said," I don't care what they say" (meaning her much concerned congregation and loved ones) "I will serve in the House of the Lord as long as I'm alive."
My lovely niece kept family unity in her heart, Rudyne and Molly ( who preceded her in going home to the Lord) were instrumental in helping me to gain knowledge of loved ones I hadn't met or known. Family was a gift she believed should not be allowed to fail in love, caring and the knowledge of roots. She will be greatly missed here on earth and greatly received in heaven.
