care of the family. Local arrangements have been entrusted to the care
of Lauber-Moore Funeral Home, Milford.
Inspirations from Bruce's journal:
"Every day is a gift. Every hour, every moment. The lives of those we
have helped shape, as well as brought into this world, we find
fulfillment in our lives and a sense of endless "circle of life" in
which we are all apart- knowing or unknowing. I can only hope that
something in my lifetime of influence of those that remain will help
them cope with some of the difficulties they may face in a way that
makes their lives happy. God knows that I haven't done everything
right. It's a good thing he forgives me so I start each day with a
fresh start. Maybe the most important thing I've learned is to be
thankful.
I have been lucky and blessed in my life. One never knows where we
would be if the circumstances would have been different. So now I just
feel good. Good because I can be a part of this family and help make a
difference for the better in all of their lives. That gives me a good
feeling in the "past the middle" years of my journey of the planet
Earth. One thing I ask of God is to give me life; give me the ability
to reach out and love my family. Help me to keep the love going from my
generation to the next and the next- forever if you please.
I can't think of anything that would give me more pleasure than making
their journey pleasant and a little brighter. There are always hard
things to face, but if we are grounded in the faith and grounded in the
family, we can "run the course" with joy in our heart no matter what."
