    I want to give my deepest sympathy to the Coley Family. Rudy was a good person & friend to all that he knew & work with. Rudy, Head, & Me ose to play card at lunch time at Triangle Home Prod. He loved him some Velma; Velma just remember that God is a burden barren. He doesn't make any mistakes; Rudy labored long & hard. He fought a good fight; but, he has to take his resting place with the Lord. Velma, I pray that you will find that it will get a little better day by day. I Love you'll so much.
