Dearest Aunt Jennie and Cousins Marian, Michael, Jody, and Monica:
Please know that we are thinking of you and our prayers go out to you as you grieve. Your Husband/Father is a man that I have always had the greatest respect for. In addition, I have tremendous gratitude for the love he showed my family during some challenging times; including opening his home to us, helping with school work, driving lessons, and loads of patience. I know my Uncle Murray is with God and pray that you feel God’s love and comfort at this time. Sincerely,
Peter Bruce (Kristine, Savannah, Adam, Mitchell, Elliott, & Eiley) – Brentwood, TN
