Dear Sharon, I just wanted to take a minute to remember Bruce (grandpa Bruce) as many of us knew him during your time at RGBI. I have so many memories of our trips to Tampico Mexico. He would drive the van and let me be his interpreter. I remember working outdoors with him at RGBI, mowing the lawn and planting flowers during the summer. We (students) were always amazed at his strength and determination to do anything- he was in better shape than many of us youngsters and he would lead by his example and work ethics. I also remember Bruce as a man of faith and a true friend. He will be greatly missed. I rejoice in the fact that he knew Jesus as his personal Savior and he is now rejoicing in heaven with him. Sharon, I regret not staying in touch with you guys through the years. I saw the news on Gabriela's Facebook page and I wanted to let you know how big of an impact you and Bruce have had in my life and ministry. I often think of you! May the Lord continue to comfort you and your loved ones as you grief with hope in the promises of God! Love, Juan Santos
