MY SON
God gave rne my son, Bruce, a caring,
loving, devoted, and generous son who
loved his mother dearly. He was the
joy of my life.
Bruce had a very healthy respect
for life, and lived it to the fullest.
He loved his fellowman and made friends
easily. His life brought no burdens to
anyone, but great joy to many.
I am so sad and heart broken be-
cause my son was taken from me. No one
can nor will ever be able to fill the
void in my life that Bruce has left.
I thank God for having given him to
us and I pray that I will see him again.

Yes, man too must pass through the seasons
God sends,
Content in the knowledge that everything
ends,
And oh what a blessing to know there are
reasons
And to find that our soul must, too, have
its seasons
Bounteous Seasons and Barren Ones, too,
Times for rejoicing and times to be blue,
But meeting these seasons of dark desola-
tion
With strength that is bora of anticipation
That comes from knowing that "autumn-time
sadness"
Will surely be followed by a "Springtime
of Gladness".
.V. _V_ vt.
The death of our dear loved one has
saddened us deeply and our burden was very
heavy. The great love and devotion, the
prayers and generosity shown to us by those
who care so much hove made our burden a lit-
tle easier to bare. It is a comfort to us to
know that others care. Your kindness and con-
cern will always be remembered. A profound
thank-you to everyone. (5)
