Dear Lord, please comfort those in grief,
Love them, lift them, give relief
For loss they've suffered, sadness felt;
Make this sorrow slowly melt.
Lord, let happy memories ease,
Creating peace like a gentle breeze,
And as you help them make it through.
Draw them closer, Lord, to you.
Sincere condolences on your loss.

My Uncle Bruce was an amazing Uncle and his infectious laughter and spirit could always make any day better.I will always remember the good times when he'd come to the Vineyard and the days he'd call me while I was in the hospital.
He will be deeply missed and my memories of him will live on forever.
