To The Family of Bruce Reardon my most sincere condolences.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me

To the Reardon Family,

I am so sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. I knew him way back when we went to Troy High together and he was the best. It is hard to believe that all these years have passed. I still remember sharing our lab papers in science class. My heartfelt condolences to you all.

I wish to extend my sincere sympathy to the family of Bruce. I only have known him for a short while as a Peace Officer at HVCC, but I felt that I had known him for years. We had spoken many times, he was always smiling and soft spoken and I never heard him speak badly of no one and that is hard today to do because of all the problems going on all over the world. He will greatly be missed. Here on earth we lost a friend, but Heaven has gained an angel.

Dearest Dar,
We were so sorry to read of Bruce passing. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and if there is anything at all at any time that we can do, we hope you'll call. We will always love you and your kind and laughing spirit and we'll miss Bruce and his quiet humor and smile.
All our love,
Robin & Michael Emanatian

Praying that you'll sense God's presence
In this time of grief
And feel God's love surrounding you
And know His inner peace
For God cares so much for you
And wipes each tear you cry,
You never need to feel alone,
For He'll never leave your side.

My most sincere condolences to the family of Bruce Reardon, Darlene, Charles, Deb, Melissa and Michael. A dear friend of Joyce Hungerford.

SAFELY HOME

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh, but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still,
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remains,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

May God Bless you
