Yo! My man! It's still hard to believe you're gone and that day is coming up. You're not forgotten! We had some good times for sure. Hey, I was able to finally meet up with Kevin Cartwright, first time since graduation. We had a blast and nobody could believe we hadn't seen each other in more than 30 years. We picked up right where we left off. We rose a glass to give you a toast.
Give some hugs to the other BW Crew up there,
Matt

To the Chism family please accept my condolences on the passing of Bruce. It seems like yesterday that we were running at recess at Mokulele Elementary in Hawaii. Bruce was one of my earliest friends and we stuck up for each other in the first grade then to reconnect when we relocated to Nebraska was really cool we hadn't talked since I left Omaha in Jan 1996 but know that he will be truly missed.
I will be praying for your family.
God Bless
