I have searched for words that will somehow lessen the blow of Bruce's passing, thinking surely this word-smith had something to offer, but I find myself seemingly searching in a bare bin. Bruce provided well for his family; the recent acquisition of the new house reflects his devotion in that it is exactly where it needs to be. He had an awesome career serving his country and even in this day and age there are those of us who find that most admirable. I am a firm believer that we live on in another plane or dimension after passing from this world; I believe that we are here to learn something and no one can tell you what that is. If we have learned we go on, if we haven't we come back, not as Bruce, but with innate talents as someone new until we learn what is required. Bruce was a quick study, knew early on what he wanted and gave it all the gusto it required of him; I wish I could have done that. I had the opportunity to pass on some thoughts about how one could deal with trauma, learned from my own bouts with that, and one thing he especially liked was: "It's just another battle, and I am Warrior!" So, my brother, check on Mom and Dad, all your loved ones passed, save me a seat and I will see you when I get there. Don Holmberg
