A Note From Me, Shellyrose

Thankyou so much for all the support and lovely cards. The outreach of love is so so kind. I'm so glad Bruce and I had his last month of life together 24/7. We had some wonderful talks and many of laughs, I don't regret staying with him. But, now I'm home alone, no Bruce and no more visits. It is hitting me hard now that I know I'm left with memories only and yet I'm so glad I have some wonderful memories to forever hold on to.
Did you know if you go on the enternet and type in: mlive.com then grand rapids MI then obitauaries then Bruce Steegstra then search, it will bring you to our personal guest book. I would love it if you took the time to write a story of Bruce and or something that you experienced by reading our story on the blog. This sure will help fill the void of my alone time. I am trying to get creative on how to keep busy. Writting our story in book form, crafts, and taking my motorized wheel chair out and about garage saleing. On a good day I can make 18 miles. But it is a challange when the bags pile up on your lap to when the uncoming traffic thinks of you as a mound of bags sitting curb side waiting for trash day. Oh the looks you get when you supprise them when the pile of trash moves. Hey thats life for now until I get one again.
Love ya
Shellyrose

You sound like our own loveable "BagLady". Didn't send a card because I didn't know where to send it; so, if you could, please send me your mailing address to: saidmary@gmail.com

Would love hearing from you. I am sure Dan has a couple of stories he can share with you, esp the one about Dan helping Bruce build some kind of antenna while ya'll were still at Lost Dutchman.

It's me again. Dan and I have just sponsored Bruce's online memorial book that you spoke of in your update for a year, until 10/4/2010, I believe the date is.

Haven't been able to think of an appropriate memorial gift until this came along.

Let your friends and family know for sure now -- I want to read everyone's story.
