Farewell to Erik!
For those of you who knew my 28 year old brother in law Erik Rudy I want to let you know that he passed away late last night. His battle with leukemia in the end overcame his body. We are grateful for the 10 months of remission he enjoyed after the bone marrow transplant. We look at the last year we were able to have with him as a miracle and a gift. His funeral services are going to be this Saturday, June 14th in American Fork, Utah. Erik has left behind his wife Emily (age 26), and two sons Mason (age 5) and Milo (age 3). It is difficult to lose someone so young, with so much left that he could do in this life. Our comfort is that he has returned to heaven to fulfill the mission and calling that God has for him and that someone needs him there more than us. Eddie and I were lucky to share his last few days with him due to the support of the fabulous people we work with. We are grateful for all the prayers many of you have given on our families behalf and thank you.
