By chance I found the business card I got from Rev. Beavers when I was married in 1997. I kept the card because I love the translation of 1 Corinthians 13:4-6 that's on the back. My condolences to the family. Even though more than 10 years have passed since his death, your loved one is still touching lives.

I was fortunate enough to receive an angel charm from Bruce. He always brightened my day and always had a smile on. My heart goes out to the family, I'm so sorry. But now he can rest without pain and watch over everyone else.
