My brother, Francis & I will remember Judge James Brucia & his loving family in our prayers. He was a gentle man who loved his Faith & his family. Indeed he "glorified the Lord with his life." St. Therese of Lisieux said to her sisters (just before her death) "I will spend my Heaven on earth doing favors for those I love!" Knowing the Judge, he will do the same!
