Thanks Lisa & Jennifer! Bruce wanted so much to help others in this battle. He truly does leave an amazing legacy of selfless acts for others…I am so proud to be able to call him my brother.
Best to everyone in this continued war on a dreadful disease. Keep the faith!
Love,
Patti

JuliaDear Patti,
I too am sorry to hear of Bruce’s passing. You and your family have my deepest sympathy. Try to remember all the good times and know that he is no longer in pain or suffering. He has moved on to a better place. Keep him forever in your heart and memories.

DarlaThank you Lauren and Pam! Bruce’s greatest quality was that he thought of others first…always. Although he is no longer with us physically, his legacy will help others to continue the fight…
Love and God bless…
Dear Patti,
I am so sorry to hear about Bruce’s passing. He truly was a warrior against CC. What a wonderful man he must have been to take the time to raise money for liver cancer research. I am forever grateful for the great work he has done to help others. Bless you all and my prayers are with your family and friends that will miss Bruce so much.
Love and hugs,
-PamThank you, Randi & Kris, for your kind words and compassion. Bruce was truly (and I mean this with all of my heart) the kindest, most generous, and bravest person that I know. He was also (along with my husband), my best friend, confidant, and sage advisor…I am having a bit of trouble figuring out how to move forward without him, although I know that he would want all of us to forge ahead.
Truly, thank you all for your assistance and advice over the past 3.5 years…and for your heart-felt and kind sympathies now when I need them.
Once I get past the deluge of tears, I will be back to add more info (some lessons learned over the past 5 months) that may help others who are fighting this most dreadful disease.
With love and God bless,
Patti
I am so sorry to hear of Bruce’s passing. May you find peace in the strength he showed fighting this horrible disease.
I am incredibly sad to hear about Bruce’s passing. Sounds like he was loved and loved so many. Please accept my sincere condolences.
This is a poem that always sums up for me life’s transition.
I am standing by the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze
and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength,
and I stand and watch
until at last she hangs like a speck of white cloud
just where the sun and sky come down to mingle with each other.Then someone at my side says, ‘There she goes!
Gone where? Gone from my sight – that is all.She is just as large in mast and hull and spar
as she was when she left my side
and just as able to bear her load of living freight
to the places of destination.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.And just at the moment when someone at my side says,
‘There she goes! ‘ ,
there are other eyes watching her coming,
and other voices ready to take up the glad shout :
‘Here she comes!’-Randi-
Thank you Lainy! You have been an angel providing support, hope and encouragement as we made this journey with Bruce…and are now providing comfort and solace. The blessing from the book “Benedictus” by John O’Donohue, which you provided, is beautiful and touches me deeply. Thank you for sharing!
Although my heart is broken, I am grateful that Bruce was in my life. To have never known or loved him would have been the greater tragedy.
Bless you for all that you do…
