Joyce, I am just hearing of Bruce's passing. I am deeply saddened by the grief you must be experiencing. I always enjoyed coming over with my Dad to play with Bruce when we were little. He was always so sweet and fun. You and your family are in our hearts. God Bless.

I am deeply sorry for your unexpected loss. I cannily imagine how you may feel. Kind and loving words can help heal your hearts at this time especially coming from a god of comfort (Jeremiah 29:11,12)
