Hi Bruce. Your finally with Chris now. May you both find happiness when you come together again. May GOD be with you both.


May you see God's light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow,
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone,
May you always remember
when the shadows fall,
You do not walk alone.

I will miss you Brother.
GOD'S Speed....
