Hi Daddy...It feels like an eternity has passed since you left us. We had our first Mothers Day without you. And it felt empty. There will be so many more "firsts" without you, and it feels so wrong cause you were always there. How do I cope Daddy? How? The songs from your video was on and I couldn't hold back my tears. I miss you so much Daddy, infact , we all do. You are my HERO...I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK ALWAYS.

To Dora and her family: Though Rudy's passing was expected, it nevertheless was shocking news to hear. It's hard to believe someone so vital, energetic, engaging, involved and concerned for life, community, family and friends is gone, pau, no more. No longer with us. No more political commentary coming from Liboy. At least not down here; most likely up there, for sure. Dora, keep the fight going. Once an activist, always an activist. Make some quiet time for yourself to recharge. You did a terrific job at caring for Rudy over the years. Take care of yourself and check in with me once in awhile, yeah.

Today 4/23/2013, makes excatly a week that you left us. Preparing for your services is hard to do. I think we've been to Borthwick everyday since last week Wednesday, and you know me, Im either telling them to tell you "I love you and that I'll see you later, or Is my dad being good? He not making trouble is he?" the people just laugh and reply, "Nah, he's being good, just kicking back." I do it to keep a smile on Mom's face. I MISS YOU DADDY WITH ALL MY HEART & SOUL. Watch over our babies. Love them up and we will all be together again. I LOVE YOU MY DADDY!!!!

LOVE ALWAYS YOUR DAUGHTER,

Aloha Liboy. ¿Encuentra con otros políticos? ¡El divertirse con su familia arriba su! ¡Mejor de todo probablemente andando con fuera ningunos dolores y dolores! !!!
