Dear dear Bruce....you were always such an encourager to us. Always willing to help and offer advice when asked. Russell so appreciated your help with preaching at Mt Herbert and all of the other work you lovingly took on. Anna loved painting alongside you at the Diamond Harbour art group...you were so encouraging and so talented. Most of all we loved the joy of the Lord that shone out of you always and all ways. We miss you. But we are so excited you have entered your eternal home and your reward for a life of faithfulness. Love Russell and Anna Pickersgill-Brown

We will be eternally grateful to Bruce. It was through him as young marrieds that we began our Christian walk and his example and guidance ensured that we continued on that walk into our 70's. Julie & George Hayward
