My heartfelt sympathy to the family. May God continue to be your source of comfort. How well I remember his parents at Shepherd’s Care Foundation! Strength and hope in the valley of grief.
I fondly remember meeting at EFC very early in the morning to pray with Bruno– and the shiny cars he used to get there! I remember his warm personality and his near constant encouragement of me as a young pastor. I know there will be plenty of tears as you mourn and I pray that there will be plenty of smiles and laughter as you remember him as well.
Bruno was a source of Christian inspiration for us. We will remember him fondly as a humble man of unshakeable faith who loved life, his family and his fellow man and who shared his love of God with everyone he meet. We will miss our chats with Bruno after Sunday services. Our sincere condolences to Margaret and family.
So sorry to hear about Bruno. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time
