Big Bruce was a wonderful man. He always treated me like family. Every time I saw him he always was happy to see me, hugged me, and gave me inspirational words of encouragement for life. I am so glad I got to have a place in his life. Shae

Dear Bruce, My heart is broken.... I am so grateful to have been a part of your life these past 2.5 years. I'm not sure how I will handle not seeing you every day. I am comforted to know that you are not suffering any longer. You have put in a good fight, a fight that I will never forget. I was placed in your path for a reason and I have no regrets in helping and being there for you. I promised you I would be by your side until the end and I am so blessed I could keep my word. You were very special to me. I love you dearly. Thank you for being you. " I will see you when I see you." ❤️❤️❤️

It was a pleasure to take care of you, Katrina Davis, RN, you will definitely be missed. Always talk about your boys and family, I will ask you every time I see you, YOU STILL HAVE THOSE Hiccups, and you would say (Hiccup) yeah❤
