To the Drake Family my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. I was deeply saddened when I hear of the passing of Bruce… While I search for words of confront to share I pray that God gives you strength to carry you through this ordeal. I’m sorry that I only knew him for a short time; however he was a man you could be proud of. A true professional, while performing his craft and a man with strong work ethics. As you grieve know that I am remembering you and honoring the memory of Bruce. May God Bless you.

Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. I say to the family, you are in our prayers. Your heart maybe hurting, but I know a God who will comfort you if you let Him. One thing I know he will truely be missed and if we live right on this side of the Jordan River, we will see him again. He faught a good fight he kept the faith. God said come on home your work has been done. Just keep looking to the hill from whence cometh your help, your help come from the Lord. Bruce and my daddy (Mr. Byrd) looking around the kingdom to see which one is going to do the yard work. Family, keep Jesus in your life and if you need Him as your savior, just call Him, He will in no wise cast you out. Hold on to God unchanging hand, He will see you thru.
