Well, I thought that eventually the shock of losing you would start to go away and the healing would begin,but I find myself, quite often, thinking of your kindness, and charm , and shy-like swagger that made you the awesome being that you were. My heart hurts from the way you were taken from us and I pray for strength each day for our family and the many others that loved you. You are always on my mind and I WILL NEVER FORGET....I DO NOT WANT TO...THE PAIN OF LOSING YOU is a reminder that all good things must come to an end. I love you Uncle Bruce, sleep well Sweet Angel....

It's been almost a month and we are still trying to deal and accept the fact that you aren't here. I still can't believe that you was taken from us so soon. All I can remember is the time when we was at Aunt Weepee's house in that dang pool (smile). We had a blast! I'm thankful that we had that time to spend with you, although the time was so short. Everybody is trying to cope and maintain their daily lives even with thinking about you constantly. I just felt the need to write you this to tell you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! To also let you know I was thinking about you. Your mom is taking it one day at a time...and so are we. We're going to be okay though, because we know you are in better hands now. Well Unc...I love you, and will miss you. You will always be in our hearts. We love you..and may you continue to rest in peace! Forever loved..never forgotten!

Love,
Your Niece,
Neicy

Today was another hard day, to be in the present of your body was time well spent, even if it was freezing out. We cried, laugh and cried again. Your body is now at rest, but your soul lives on. Ma Ruth, Dee, Mona, Terri and Kevin you still have a long road ahead but turn your faith and trust in God and he will make a way. Like my sis Dee said He don't make no mistakes.
Miss You Baby, And never Forgotten.

...I would first like to thank you all for all of the support everyone has given to our family during this tuff time. Uncle Brucie the words "I love you" wouldnt be enough to express how much you mean to me. you've tought me so much and left me so many wonderful memories that i wont soon forget. Although I miss you and wish I could look next to me and see your beautiful smile, or hear you say "o k" like only you can, I know that you are in a better place and all of your pain is else where. I don't think this world was ready for you unc but you will always be in our hearts and i will forever carry you in my spirit. I love you UNCLE BRUCIE no matter what.
Love your neice Jasmine

Music, when soft voices die

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

To the Wright family, just want you to know that I have sat where you sit right now, and know that only God can take you through this veil of sorrow. Remember earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal. You will continue to be in my prayers.

To my lovely husband I miss you with all my heart. We grew up together and spent many years as one. We had just started to live all the dreams and wishes we had for each other until you was snatched so suddenly. God has his reasons. Bruce may your soul rest in peace where you dont have to feel no pain and hurt. You was loved by many for you beautiful smile and personality. You will never be forgotten.
I would like to say I love you mother and family also friends who supported me through all this tragedy and pain.
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN MY LOVE WHERE WE CAN SHARE THE REST OF OUR LIVES TOGETHER WITH NO WORRIES. I LOVE YOU FOR ALL ETERNITY MY DEAR HUSBAND!!!
LOVE YOUR WIFE,FRIEND,AND BETTER HALF

A week has passed and it is still so hard to grasp the fact that you are gone. I am thankful that the Lord has shared you with us, and in that time we have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy the memories that we all shared. Although, you will no longer be here with us in body, we know your spirit will surround us. May your soul rest in peace my dear Uncle Bruce. Love you always and forever.
Your niece,
Tanesha Wright and family.
