My heart goes out to family and friends of Bruce. I will miss him and his stories about his different jobs he had. His love of the photo lab, his family, and being a police officer for many years. He will be missed. May God Bless his family and friends...

Your church family grieves with you at this time. Jesus too grieved as he walked up to Lazarus's tomb. To mourn is essential to our healing. Take time with your family to enjoy and talk about the fun times. Honor your brother's life and service. Then know you are being bathed in prayer. My our mighty God bring comfort and healing in this time. Amen FSBC
