Dear Jean,
I am so sorry to hear of Bruce's
passing. I just found out.
I remember all the good laughs as
a kid going to get the mail,that
Bruce and I had. I also remember
the good 'ol school days with
me, Russell and Doug.
May the Lord wrap his arms around
you and your family.
My thought and prayers are with you all.

So sorry to hear about Uncle Bruce. We will all miss him a great deal. I have fond memories growing up and all of you visiting with beds and cots all over the house. And of course playing in the "secret" tunnel in your upstairs. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during these difiicult days.
All my love, Weezie

As a child, I always felt safe, warm, and loved when I visited Uncle Bruce and Aunt Jean. I wish I could send you the same cozy, warm, and safe feelings to comfort you now. Love, Val

Jean & family,
We are never prepared for the loss of a loved one, but God is always prepared to help us through that loss. May His presence begin the healing in your heart and soul, and may His love surround you with the comfort only He can give.
