Bruce displayed the most amazing amount of courage I have ever seen. I am so very grateful for the time he had on this earth and for the fact that I was blessed enough to know him. I am even more grateful that someday, I will be able to hug him again. You are missed, Bruce. God bless you, the way you blessed us. Cindi, Jessie & Nick-May God hold you and comfort you in ways that only He can.

Dear Cindi and family,



I don't know if you remember me, but I worked for Dr. DelSignore until April 2004. I was truly saddened to hear of Bruce's passing. The last time I saw him was shortly after his discharge from the hospital following his stem cell transplant. He was so upbeat.

My prayers go out to you.



Sincerely,



Mary Cox
