to the rutledges,
 

My Family sends our deepest sympathies for your loss, and prayers for your family in this tragic time in your lives.

words do not come to mind on how to express our sorrow to you, as parents ourselfs, we can only imagine the horror of losing one of our children.

i leave you with this thought.... from the song by the late Stevie Ray Vaughn called "life without you"

Oh oh now baby, tell me how have you been
We all have missed you, and the way you grin
The day is necessary, every now and then
For souls to move on, givin' life back again,
Fly on fly on, fly on my friend
Go home, live again love again.

Life without you, all the love you passed my way
The angels have waited for so long, now they have their way
Take your place


Reginald, Rose stay strong, we love you as one of our own.

Rick and Rosanna Garrison.

My prayers are with your family. It's hard losing someone you love but rember GOD always has a plan even if it doesn't make sense right now. She is in a better place. She is next to GOD smiling down on all your family.

May the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of GOD rest in peace. Amen

My prayer to the Rutledge family. Have all my sympathy in this moment.

Reggie, you are a pillar of strength in this community.Things happen in life that we have no answer as to why they happen. I can only hope that your daughter is watching over you knowing that your love for her will be forever. When you are ready, we will all be here for you. May you find comfort in the Lord, my friend.

My sincere deepest sympathy
 

To the Rutledge family, I wish to again, tell you that your entire family will be be in my prayers, and on my mind for a very long time to come. To Rhianna, I hope you can hear or feel my thoughts. I'm sorry I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but I would like you to know, from what I've read, this world will be less without you. I do believe you are fine, and you now grace Heaven with your soul. Peace, Love, and Strength to you Reggie, and your entire family.

From The Smith Family,

Riggie Rutledge and Family our prays are with you and we love you And GOD LOVE you.

Reg, Rose, and family
 

Dear Reg and Rose,
Have been and will continue to pray for you folks.
Never met you but Reg, I think I "get" you and have always appreciated
your enthusiasm for what you do. Though things will never again quite be the same, I'm praying that, in time, the both of you will regain your zest for life
May God's presence and peace fill the empty void of your wonderful daughter and may He continue to remind you of the great gift He'd given you.
It is also quite evident many people care about you.
God bless,
Bill

There is a certain emptiness that comes with the loss of a loved one that feels like nothing in the world can fill it. I am confident however that even as this time has brought The Rutledge Family grief that The Lord heals all wounds. While those of us in this community and especially those that were blessed to have met Rhianna grieve with you today,we know that she is in a better place and all her troubles are now gone away.God bless you and grant The Rutledge Family peace.

condolences
 

To Reginald, Rose, and the entire Rutledge family,

On behalf of my wife and I, we would like to offer our condolences to you on the homegoing of your beloved Rihanna. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I know she is present in the company of God. I havent met the family but I know how tight knit you were. The earliest recollection I have of your daughter was the interview she gave withe Mike Robertson after he won his first Super Bowl for DFW. It was an image I can still remember. You have many more memories, those which you will rely on in those tough times to come. I feel that you are family to me, and I will offer my services (as I know you would if something happened in my family). Rihanna has been a blessing in this short lifetime, and she would want you as a family to carry on the blessing. If there is anything I can do , let me know.

Sincerely,
John and Michelle Sullivan
