I am so very sorry for your loss. Please find comfort in God's sure promise of a resurrection as set forth in the Bible. (Acts 24:15; John 5:28,29) Those who are raised to life will have the prospect of never again being subject to misery, sickness, or death. (Revelation 21:4) I hope that reflecting on these thoughts will give you some relief during this difficult time.

Anne, Eric and Kelly, I am so sorry to hear about Bruce. He was my good friend and I saw him most recently nearly every Tuesday at Kiwanis lunch.

I am proud to have Bruce as my friend for so many years. Dave Henderson
