Rufus will always be my Brother from Another Mother
No one could make me laugh harder than "RuDawg". I would go months without talking to him but when we spoke it was like I talked to him yesterday
I hope everyone has a friend like him in their life
The world is a little bit darker place for me right now
Rest in Peace My Brother
Until we meet again
I Love You
I was never able to meet my older brother Rufus, but I had always wondered what it would have been like growing up closer to my brother's in GA. I always wanted an older brother. I'm very sorry to have missed out on the opportunity to know you big brother. My prayers go out to the family.
To my family I am so sorry about the loss of my cousin he will always be in my heart 💕 love you Rufus praying for my family Annie Thomas.
