Caroline, I was recalling former years and dear friends and you came to mind. In looking for you online, I happened upon your mother's obituary. I'm so sorry for your loss. After reading the Guest Book comments, I'm convinced you must be a replica in character and personality of your dear mom. God bless you. Love in Christ, Delores Baxter (from the Knoxville days)

The Rudy family are an important part of the Donelson heritage. My mother grew up with Oleda and shared many stories of their times together. I will treasure the memories of being in her home when Mary Frances & I were growing up. Mrs Rudy was a Godly woman who brought her children up to love The Lord. God Bless all of the family.
I thank God for the privilege of knowing Oleda and Frank Rudy, as well as the extended family. Oleda was always very special to our family especially when we went through a very difficult time in the loss of our daughter and two grandsons. Carolyn, Patricia, Mary Francis, and Frank Jr., we are praying for you during this time of loss. But be thankful you have the opportunity to join her one day. God bless you as well as Jane and Wayne. Don (Carol) and Diane and family.
Oleda meant so much to me and the entire Atchison family. There is only one Oleda. She will be missed. Sorry for your loss Patricia, Caroline, Frank and Mary Francis. Tony and Lisa Atchison
My love and sympathy to the family in the passing of a wonderful Lady. Oleda was a kind and loving Mother who adored her family. She was gracious and always a pleasure to talk to. I consider it an honor to have known her and been her next door neighbor for over 30 years. I will miss seeing her working in her yard. May God bless you all and keep all the precious memories close.

Oleda was a dear friend when I served as her pastor years ago. She was outgoing, loyal and a dedicated servant of the Lord who loved her family, church and community. She came from "the old school" when hard work was in fashion. She will me missed.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am for y'all's loss. I really hate I can't be there. Ru Ru was such a positive influence in my life. She was always so much fun. The trips to Nasville would not have been the same without Her. Taking us to opryland, the grand ole opry, the opryland hotel, shoney's for breakfast. I always loved staying at her house. Those high beds. As a kid I thought they were so tall. Y'all were such a fun group to hang out with when we were growing up. It is sad to see this great generation passing on. Such good and fun people. I know she will be missed. I will never forget her. If any of you are ever passing through South Georgia please stop and see us. I will be back in Nashville also and try to see some of y'all. Thanks for all the great memories Ru Ru. Love all of y'all. Bo Henry.
