Dear Jack,


We mourn with you the loss of your brother, Bruce. We will be thinking  
especially of you and of Judy and of all your extended family, as this  
completed life draws all of you close together. We are grateful for  
your personal faith stance that you have shared below. Safe journey.

SIncerely,


Jim and Oliveann

You may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one.
