Thinking about Bruce today and the impact he made on so many!

It´s been 11 years of hurt and growth. I love my daddy with all my heart I can´t wait to see him when I finish my own race. -Graci matthews 15

Hard to believe that ten years have passed since Bruce's heavenly homecoming. He is still missed and remembered by the Ozanne family. Thinking of you, Laura, and your family. Praying for continued healing and joy in your lives! Love and hugs, Bev and Steve Ozanne

Just thinking of you Laura. I hope you are going to be okay. My heart goes to you and your children. I still can't believe he is gone. Please don't let this change you.

Bruce and Laura--I will always have special memories of when you led the singles ministry in Santa Monica, CA. I was there for less than a year, but you helped me find awesome roommates and definitely helped me grow as a young Christian. I was impacted by your love and service to God and I admired you both alot. Since moving from California, I loved hearing about what you were up to and especially about your growing family. I can't believe Bruce is gone and my heart goes out to you, Laura,...

Bruce~you were a wonderful man, husband, father, friend. It is very hard to say goodbye. I never told you this, but you were the one I wanted to be the minister at my wedding. I had a plan to fly you, Laura and the kids out, put you up in a nice hotel, and have a wonderful celebration. It would be my way to tell you "thank you" for being such a great man, role model, and leader. To thank you for your selflessness and upright character. For your kindness. I am so sorry this has happened....

Laura,
This took me completely off guard when I learned of his passing... Both you and Bruce hold a special place in my heart. While you may find that hard to believe since we haven't spoke in such a long time, I want you to know you, Bruce and Gavin have been in my thoughts through the years. I will always remember Bruce from our Bible Talks and all the Volleyball we played. He was so much fun and Bruce had such a great spirit. Too I will always be grateful for all the work and care...
