[Oe List ...] Bruce Gilles

[Alice Baumbach]

Dear Jack & Judy,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you travel from Mexico to 
Meadville, PA. Even though you knew this day was coming soon, it 
probably won't feel like it's the right time. May Bruce rest in peace, 
may Carol be comforted, and may you and Judy be the presence that 
enables a profound celebration of his life. Grace & Peace. Jim & Alice 
Baumbach
