Tom and I were surprised and saddened when we learned of Bruce’s death. It is good to know that he has gone to be with the Lord, plus many friends and family members who have parted this life. May the comfort of God’s love be enough to help you, your children, and grandchildren get through these dark days.
Bev, It’s been many years but I still remember Bruce bolstering me through being a lector at St. John’s. I’m truly sorry.
So sorry for your loss, Bruce was a fine person that everyone loved. Please know that you are all in our prayers. May God give you comfort and peace in your time of grief. Love you all
May you find peace and comfort in the memories of Bruce’s presence in so many lives. My heart is with you.
Dear Bev, Amy, and Bill,
I received this news with sadness. I remember Bruce as being kind, patient, hardworking, reliable, and smart. I know the three of you can add many more adjectives. My heart goes out to all of you.
Amy, Bill and family, so very sorry for your loss. I know how difficult this time is and I know how very close you all were as a family. May love and caring of friends help you through this very difficult time in all of your lives. Much love, Lee, Rhonda and Luke Combs.
My sister just called me to notify me of Bruce’s passing. I was so very sorry to hear this. He was such a fine man. I am very thankful that he was able to attend our 60th reunion and that I had the opportunity to meet you and also chat with him. Thinking of you and your family and wishing you peace during this sad time.
