Hey Bubba.. I miss you and wish you were still here. Things have gotten so crazy and I can't help but wonder what life would be like with you here, physically.
I wish I could have helped heal whatever pain it was that caused this.. I wish i had more time with you.... When I close my eyes i can still see the memories we all have and hear your voice. My son is 16 and he knows all about you. I remember you teaching me how to throw a football in our backyard at Cameo ln when we all stil lived there, before everything fell apart.... I love you - Nae'.

Hi Bruce, after years of trying to find you, I look up your name today and came across this page. My heart dropped and I began crying. I had no idea that you passed away. It explains the dreams where I would see you watching over me. Memories flood my mind. I remember the day we met at Mary Grimes. That was the day we started dating. You looked at me with those gorgeous eyes and gave me that smile, yep couldn't resist you lol. We were in love! You always made me laugh. I remember the day you sat me down in the gym and told me you were leaving our school to attend another and while I cried, you held me. You were always so sweet and caring. Later you started working at Subway and I, down the street working at Sally Beauty Supply. Our relationship became strained and we broke up. You came to the job with my dad, you told me that you loved me and wanted to get back together. But we never did. The last time we saw each other was the day of your graduation. I was so proud of you. Not sure whose house you invited me over but we sat in the driveway and talked. You told me again that you never stopped loving me and always will. I'll never forget you Bruce David Mathews!

You chose to live with me and finish and graduate from high school. We had a wonderful school trip to England, France and Italy. You could have spent a week or more at the Louvre, but we only had a few hours. I showed you where I learned to swim in Dover, England. Then there was the Vatican and all the wonderful things to see in St. Peter's. I am so glad that you asked to be baptized and confirmed in the Catholic Church where we attended when you lived with me. Just before you were removed from life support at Parkland Memorial Hospital you received Anointing and Absolution by Fr. Don Zeller. You live on not only in our hearts but in several living persons who received life giving donations from your own body. Love you, my only son, Mom

I remember hanging out every weekend at subway just to be able to hang out with you. I remember are long talks & the fact you considered me an old soul like yourself. I miss you & will never forget you or your family. You will live forever by the eyes that saw you, the ears that heard you & the hearts that held you. Hope you're in heaven telling crazy stories about me to my husband. May you both RIP & be waiting for me when I pass on.
PS I named my son Harrison Mathew after you, even tho at the time I didn't know you had passed on.

I cannot believe that you're gone. My heart aches just thinking about it & thinking about your family & how terrible it must be having to live on with out you. You were my best friend growing up & I hate that I had to move with my mom to North Carolina when I was 16 since she was transferred there. We lost touch & only saw each other once more when I had come back to visit. You promised me you'd write but life happened & that was the last time I saw you or spoke to you.
