My thoughts and prayers go out to Bruces family and friends. He will be missed.
Maria, you were more than a friend or companion to Bruce, you were family. As you were that perfect dance partner together, so were you that perfect partner in life, you were his rock. Dee, you were like a daughter to him and he a father to you, that is family, and in his latter days, you were that loving caregiver. Angels aren't always as we may invision, with wings and a halo. Angels are those who come to us with hearts full of love and compassion, with faces that show they care and arms that reach out and give love and comfort, and with helping hands.
