Peggy,Gene,Bollie and entire Family. So sorry to hear about Bruce. I have always thought a lot of you all(since we lived on Kirkham St). Bruce would bring me up to date on you all when I would run into him from time to time. I am living in Pa. now. My thoughts are with you.

Bruce was a very special person at Oak Grove Church, and will be greatly missed. He always had a smile and a kind word for everyone, and always brought to our attention any in the community who needed our prayers. It will take us awhile to get used to him not being in his usual place. To the family I offer my sincere sympathies. May your memories of Bruce comfort you during this hurtful time, and may you be sustained by the knowledge that he loved the Lord, and is now with Him for eternity.
