Remembering a friend

Tomorrow, May 9th, is the second anniversary of a friend's death.
Bruce, a tall, soft-spoken, philosopher from Texas, died of brain cancer in 2005. My dear, dear, friend Kathy & her husband Bruce were married for over 25 years. They were one of the first couples we met when we came to Peace church. We all attended a Sunday School class taught by precious folks John & Carolyn Clark.

Dealing with such a devastating disease is exhausting for everyone, but Bruce dealt with his suffering with grace and great faith. He never complained, I mean never. His only worry was for Kathy. His last words to me were "take care of Kathy".

Bless you, Bruce. You endured to the end. We rejoice to think you'll be waiting to greet us in Heaven:)
