I am so sorry for your loss… I always looked forward to walking down the Aisle of your church, (while visiting) and to see Bruno sitting in one of the Pews, patiently waiting, or meditating before Service began. Bruno is gone from our presence but not for long. In a “Blink of an eye” we will all be together again! May the Holy Spirit wrap HIS arms around you, for HE is our Comforter. May JESUS bring your family PEACE, for HE is the PRINCE of PEACE. May God continue to bring you STRENGTH to carry on! I Love and Miss each and every one of you! Blessings to the Family, from San Diego, California!
