Dear Family and Loved Ones,
You do not know me as I did not know Bruce, but for some strange reason after reading about Bruce in the paper I can not get my mind off your sorrow. I can only send out my thought to you at this time to let you know that even though we are strangers and have never met, I think of Bruce many time over the day. I can only think that this must be a sign that Bruce must have been truly a wonderful and special person in his short life. Try to remember the good time. I somehow know that that is what he would want everyone to do.
My thoughts to all.
