I am saddened to hear of the passing of Bronzell and especially how he had to suffer. Someone so kind and loving should not have to suffer as he did.

I did not personally know Bronzell Sr., But my boys have been particularly close to your family and love you very much. I have seen the compassion and strength that you all have shown and can only imagine the strength in which that is drawn. Bronzell Sr., may you rest in peace and may you be guided through the next phase of your journey.

I felt as if Bronzell had wings here on earth with all the things he was oppupied with and still get them done months before the deadline, but now he has wings as he's able to get even more done and fly us through our problems. He was just one person that helped so many and now he can continue to help more people but much quicker and numerous people at a time!
