Linda, Nancy and Tracy ... What A loss, I can only imagine the grief that you must be going through. Bruce was the best friend and mentor that I could have ever hoped for. Without Bruce's help I would never have had the work opportunities that were presented to me. I was truly in his debt. I have great memories of times spent in R.I. with Bruce, you and your girls. Good times that I will never forget. I traveled all over different parts of the world with Bruce and I can attest that Bruce was a gracious, smart and totally honest man. I will miss him terribly, I already do ....

I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one in death is so hard to deal with. But there is comfort in knowing we will be reunited with our loved ones. God's word reveals that there will be a time where he will swallow up death forever and he will wipe every tear from our eyes. We all wait in eager expectation for that time to come. May the god of comfort console you and your loved ones during this time.

Dear Linda and the Entire Andrews Family: I first met Bruce at Fram years ago, he was my mentor there and then later on in life we moved to Lincoln and once again realized Bruce and his family were active in the fire department and we again saw him at those functions! He will be truly missed by so many. This year I saw him running the Christmas bazaar at Wesley and we caught up on stories. RIP my friend.

Dear Linda and family, our Love is sent to all of you at this time of loss, I am happy I was able to visit both you and Bruce in May while I was in Rhode Island. He was a dedicated churchman and devoted to his family and community. Wesley UMC will remember him as a man that always worked unselfishly in many ways. Our world is a better place as we shared it together. We pray the living Christ will embrace each of you in the days ahead is our prayer. Our memories will endure beyond this lifetime. Heaven has gained a true Disciple.
