Just one more chance.....

Oh, how our heart has to ache
for your soul, that the Lord had to take.
I guess we may never understand
why this was in God's plan.
Even though HE gives us strength,each and every passing day,
the tears we shed are here to stay.
I remember a closeness I had with you that started at the age of seven or was it ten?
Fond childhood memories of you running over and over in my head.
Riding in the car to Grandma and Grandpa's, sitting in the rear seat
wanting to sit next to you, knee to knee, feet to feet.
And as the years went by,
It made me cry
To see your struggles
and your heartfelt troubles.
I can not imagine the endurance of your pain.
Only know it was such a shame.
You were compassionate and kind.
A thought I will hold forever and ever, close in my heart and mind.
It gives great comfort to know that you are at peace in Heaven above
Spending time with your younger brother and sharing each other's Love...

Just wish I had one more chance
to tell you I love you, hold you, hear you laugh, and see you dance.....

Your sister, Colleen

I just heard of Bruce's passing and was so sad to hear he is gone at such an early age. I have fond childhood memories of Bruce driving myself and Colleen to school every morning in his white VW bug. My heart goes out to your family on the recent passing of his father also. I would love to reconnect. I am including my email. Sue Bambas White, Orlando Fla.

Bruce was a young man of kind heart and willing to help others. Bruce always there to help someone in need. He was not interested in earthly goods, but would help anyone even person he did not know. He was always there to help his mother as well as others. Bruce will always be loved and his memory never forgotten.

Dear Aunt Margaret, Bobby, Colleen, and Cindy,
One memory I have with Bruce is this past Spring while visiting you all in Delaware. We went to the car show in town and I had an interest in the corvettes. He walked around the collection of cars with me and explained so much about them! I was amazed at his knowledge and love for cars. "Never more than a thought away, he will be loved and remembered everyday."
