    I have no words to say that would brighten the light around you family. I can say that I will pray everyday that both of you and all others can get though this awful tragedy. I ask God to comfort your family and give you the courage to take it at your own pace so that you can have the memories of the last 3 years to guide you each day, week, and years. Hugs

    Sweet Navy,

    Your Aunt Ariel said that you were too pure for this world and she was 100% correct. Your huge personality lit up every room and that perfect, infectious smile could break anybody down. We will never forget that smile. We will never forget those huge hugs in Oma’s kitchen or just the joy of watching you and your cousins run around and play. We have all been blessed to have known you, even for this brief time. We know you will always be with us all. Check in on us from time to time. Especially your mom and dad. Ring the doorbell. Your mom liked that. Keep an eye on your cousins, they’re going to need you too.

    We will always love and miss you, sweet Navy.

    I have never met your family, or even Navy. But this news tragically impacted me and moved me to tears. I just wanted to say that Navy was beautiful. I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss, as no parent should ever have to go through this type of pain or loss. Know, that I am praying for you and your family during this tough time. I hope you find peace in knowing you will get to see her again someday – I’m sure she’s singing and dancing in Jesus arms (as it looks like she was a big singer fan!)

    To the entire Rudd Family… we are so sorry for your loss. I am sure you all will forever cherish the short few years you were able to share with Navy. No words can ever be enough to take away the pain. Just know Great Grandpa Ray and Navy are now together and I can see his face lighting up when he sees her. We will continue to pray for your healing.
