Dear Bruce: My deepest sympathy to you and your family. You and I go back a long way to high school and I go back a long way with your Mom at C. P. Clare, where I worked two summers during college. Our Dads were also very close. I am here for you in any way in the months ahead. Take care my friend. Our parents are all together now, with no pain and eternal sunshine.
Dear Bruce, Susan and Families,
With my deepest sympathy I write this. I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. May you know that other’s are thinking and praying for you during this difficult time. May God give you His Peace, that passes all understanding.
There is peace in knowing that your Mom has been reunited with your Dad and loved ones that have gone before her. And you have the promise of God that you will see her again. At this time, there are no words I could say that would ease the hurt,pain and void you feel in your heart’s, but I know that she will be watcing for her cildren to join her one day. She will be standing just inside the Eastern Gates to welcome you home.
Until then, I know that she was so proud of you and left her heart with you.
May God Bless You All,
Carolyn Taylor Moore

Bruce and Susan…Al was a great mother to all of you. She had a big heart and loved the Lord. Heaven is much brighter today because of her presence. May God bless your family. John and Sherry
Bruce – Please accept my deepest condolences. May you be surrounded with many precious memories, but most especially by God’s peace and the assurance that you will one day be reunited.
Dear Susan and Bruce, How blest you were to have had two wonderful parents! How hard it is to believe that these relationships among the Oakley crowd goes back 86 plus years. I want you both to remember how special your parents were not only to you, but to all of us.Alice and her infectious laugh will forever be etched in my memory. I would not be driving if had not been for T.G. I can still see the ‘twinkle’ in his eye as he graded my test! What a reunion is going on in Heaven right now even though our hearts are heavy. Why would we not miss such loving parents and friends that feel like family? One day there will be no parting! I pray for each member of the family and I know that your parents would want all of you to continue to ‘Live, Laugh and Love.’ With much sympathy and love to all, Dianne

I am truly sorry to hear of your mothers passing. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Our dear Susan and Bruce and extended family, We will miss the chats and annual Christmas contact with your mom. We are ever mindful of the warm welcome we received from your parents upon our return from careers in Europe. Memorable is how your dad, TG, championed me as he did for so many.
Your mom was dynamic in supporting your dad and the family in all ways. I suspect Alice Redmond met Irene Dillingham on the basketball court back in their high school days. Our love in the strength of faith…Ken Richards and Irene
