I live across the street from where BJ and Zack lived. Thank you for sharing your sons with us in Columbia. BJ was an amazing, compassionate young man, and will be missed.

Dearest Bruce, Catherine, Jonathon, Zach and Lilly. I am so sorry about BJ. I am faced with death everyday doing the job I do, but this was hard to comprehend. I relied on my spiritual teachings that say that BJ was given a certain number of breaths when he was born. And even though we who knew and loved him feel that number was too low, he completed his work here on earth. It is God's perfect will. I can't imagine the pain in your heart right now. You are a strong family. You may not see it now but this dark period is just a chapter in your journey. You will come out of this even stronger and filled with more love for the Lord than you thought imaginable. Rely on the love and ministry you have already been given to walk you thru this. I wanted to come and give you my love and support today, but I have a previous commitment I can't get out of. I send you spiritual hugs from a distance. PLEASE continue to Luv the journey! God Bless all of you! All my love, Barb

Dear Toal Family,
Our sincere sadness to you all at this very difficult time! The loss of your loving Bruce has to be terribly difficult to comprehend. He was such an outstanding young man of which you all must have been extremely proud. Proud also of yourselves for the love, guidance and influence you all had on Bruce.
I am a friend of Junes from Medford, NJ. If June is any example of the wonderful family you all are , for this you should be extremely proud. I always admired June's strong belief in her faith and the Lord to guide her through the difficult times. Her belief in the power of prayer made me an even stronger believer through the difficult times.
Even though Bruce was much too young to leave you all and his life, we can only pray and believe that he is in a better place free of any pain and suffering. He is free of any lasting injuries that could have made his life as we know it, very difficult.
For this we can only thank God for making the best decision.
My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family in hopes as time goes on your grief and sadness will somehow start to lessen. I hope the wonderful memories you are left with will carry you through until you see Bruce again.
Blessings to you all,
Leila Halligan
