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)
