Mary Lou & family, I just wish there was some way I could relieve the pain that you all are going through right now. Just remember Bruce is with God and is in a much better place than we are. Some day we will meet our brothers and sisters in Christ again. Beth sends her love. I called her yesterday to let her know. She always asked about Bruce. Let me know if I can be of any help. I am only a phone call away and would be glad to talk anytime. Always put your faith and hope in the Lord. Love, Emma Lee
We love all of you very much! Mary Lou, I admire your strong faith and positive approach in everything you do. We learn so much from you by example. Thank-you for being you!
Mary Lou and family, You are in our thoughts and prayers. We had no idea Bruce was ill. I am so sorry I was not there for you when you needed support and prayers. May God give you and your family the strength and guidance to get through this most trying time. Love, Barbara
You are all in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless
