Betty and Family, my heart aches for each of you at this very sad time. Keep Bruce's memory alive by speaking of him often and reflecting back on the special times you shared. Bruce will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. Bruce was such a handsome young man and I could see just a little "Lacy" in his big smile.
Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Danny and Evelyn (Lacy) Sawyer

Dear Dora,
I am very sorry for your loss. My husband had always spoken very highly of Bruce from his years of working with him at Chesterfield Co. May God bless you and your family. Even when we can't find the strength, God will always be there to help lift us.

Wishing you comfort in friendship and hope in prayer,
Diane Coleman

Betty & Family, I have many memories of Bruce over at Woody's & Ilma's eating dinner on Sunday's. I can still remember my Dad calling Bruce "Big Breeches". Our thoughts & prayers are with you. Sometimes we do not understand, but God is in control. Love, David Lacy & Family.

Dear Dora and Family
Again my heart goes out to all of you. I hope you remember Bruce is so happy now. Yet we as mortals still have a hard time accepting that and missing him terribly. Remember you will see him again one day and oh what a reunion that will be. If there is anything I can do for your family or you please call me. I love you all.
Dora's Mom again you have wonderful kids and I know without a doubt they will be there to comfort you at this time of your life when you need them the most. God be with you all.
