Donna I am so sorry to read about your loss. The notice is true Bruce was a man of few words but a force when he did speak. I wish I could be there to see you and family personally on the 9th but unfortunately I will be away. However you, Christopher and family will be in my thoughts. Please feel free to reach out anytime but feel confident that you always have been a strong person plus that strength must have permeated through your family. Take care.
