I am really sorry for your loss Ms Linda. You are the most amazing people I've ever met. I loved working with you. I can't forget the little cross Mr. Bruce gave me on my first visit. He was a strong person spiritually and that makes me happy. Let his soul rest in heaven.

My condolence to Linda and family members. Bruce was a blessed and friendly person. I still remember the first time I met him how he looked at me and said "thank you for praying for me". He has gone on before us to be with the Lord and will be greatly missed. But we will be together with him again when Jesus returns for us. "Oh happy day"!

I will always remember my little visits and chats with Bruce. I was encouraged by his faith and tender heart, as he was always asking and caring for my family and he spoke tenderly about Linda and his concerns for leaving her. He was brave to the end and saw himself as one of God's warriors. I'm sure he is sitting at the feet of Jesus, having lively chats with Him.

I was honored on my birthday this year to spend the day with my friend Bruce. We shared a great day of conversation in a similar belief of faith. God knows our path crossed for a reason. Peace my dear friend Linda you are a blessing and he will always be a part of you. God's work is still at hand on earth and in heaven.

We were fortunate to visit Bruce and Linda in October. Such a good visit. Bruce was cheery and entertaining although he was not feeling well. I was glad to see his hospitality enduring like that.
He said he was going to become a soldier of the lord and I expect that is just what he is doing.
We send our love to Linda and Bruce's family.
I am grateful to Linda's church for their support and her sweet neighbors. A real blessing.
Bruce and his mom, Lillian

I am so sorry for your loss. The first time I remember meeting Bruce was on the train ride we all went on with Precinct 4 several years ago. He was so nice and friendly.
I know how you feel, Linda. Please let me know if I can do anything for you.

My brother was such a family person. He was devoted to his wife, Linda. He was very close to his mother and father all his life. He enjoyed being with his brother and sister and their families. Gone too soon and we will miss him.

I could not have had a more perfect husband. He always made me feel special and important in his life. I still feel his presence in our home. What a wonderful and Godly man!

Bruce will be missed by everyone who knew him. Even on his bad days, he was interested in how we were doing. He loved Jesus and was ready to tell all who would listen. He is resting with our Lord and Savior now, pain free and fully restored. Praise God! I thank God for his life and the impact he had on those around him.
