My condolences to the Bronson family for the loss of your dear loved one. During this most difficult time, may your hearts be comforted in knowing that death was not a part of Jehovah God's purpose. Therefore, he has promised that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous (Acts 24:15).

To Christopher and Carmelita and family, We would like to thank you for the opportunities to meet and talk with your Dad. He was such a pleasant person and Jack recalls his many discussions regarding work on the railroad. Losing a father hurts in so many ways. However we know that his physical life has ended and now the spiritual life begins. We like to think that one day we all will be together in peace and love Our prayers are with you during this most difficult time and hope that happy memories of past times will overshadow the loss With love and sympathy Elaine and Jack
