Guestbook

  1. I love you dad! Without the knowledge and sacrifice that you made for us kids we would not be the men we are today. I will teach and grow my children with the same attributes that you instilled in me. I love you and will hold you next to my heart forever till we meet again!

  2. Nancy, I was sorry to read about Larry’s death. You and your family are in mJJy thoughts and prayers.

  3. When we were children Larry was the big brother everyone should have had. He and I have the gift of telling it like it is. I am glad that Rick and I got to spend time with him before he left this earth to be with mom and dad and all those family members who loved him so much. I would have been at the service had I known about it. My heart is sad for the loss of a brother I loved so much. Memories will grace my life until we all can laugh TOGETHER AGAIN . I LOVE YOU BRANDY

  4. Nancy, Ed, John, & Larry, I am so sorry for your loss. There are not enough words to say that help at such a sad time, just remember the good times you all had together. Nancy, I was just thinking about when we were sitting in the church @ Joe’s wedding. Larry cracked me up when he was talking about getting a turkey sandwich from the cooler in the car. We had a good time cracking jokes that day. Again I am so sorry, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

  5. My sincere condolences to my dear classmate Nancy and her family. Although I didn’t meet Larry, I saw his support of you, Nancy, with your love of life and learning. Remember the good times! Gods Blessings to All of You!

  6. When we were kids Larry was always there for all of us.I’ll remember in my heart that way for the rest of my days. Now I know he’s back at home with Mom and Dad where he should be ,enjoying a donut and milkshake while working on an old car. I will never forget those years because they were the best years I had with him . I will always love and miss Larry Rick L. Bruner

  7. Dear Nancy & all Bruner Family, I didn’t know Larry very well, but this is what I knew of him… I worked at M&M on the shift that followed Larry’s. Even after working his shift, Larry had a joke & laugh for things that were going on. He was a good hard worker. I never heard anything bad against him. A friend in Jesus is a friend good friend for all…. With Heartfelt Prayers for your comfort in these days to come.

  8. i met you when i was young and i dont rememeber but you were probably a good man becuase my dad always talks about you
