Think of Bill often.  Our prayers and love are with you.

Beth,
You and your precious sons are in my heart.  I just do not know what to say except love to you.

Dear Beth, Hunter and David - the girls and I send you so much love and our prayers at this sad time.  Bill touched the lives of many and the people who knew him will always remember him with joy and smiles.  He brought great depth to our LOC small group, and I always enjoyed his company and his humor.  Your family means a lot to us, and we send you blessings and prayers for comfort.  With much love, Jean, Catherine and Lauren.

The Bill Brunner Family,

We (his colleagues at work) are so saddened by the sudden loss of Bill. Bill was well respected and admired by all of us throughout the years at JA Jones Construction Company, JA Jones International and at Fluor.  I personally have had the greatest privilege of knowing and working with Bill since  1999. We could always depend on Bill supporting  us in the field every day. I know for a fact Bill will be missed by all of those that worked with him around the World.

very respectfully and with deepest condolences,
Ty Clary--Fluor Government Group colleague

There are no words to help you all with this unexpected loss, nor to express the shock and loss his friends are feeling.  I have known Bill for 6 years through work...he was a kind, intelligent, and wonderful person who always tried to bring humor into our work situations.  He adored and cherished his family. David and Hunter...you were mentioned frequently at work and I know he was proud of you both and loved you deeply. Be proud of him. Beth...I never met you but know you were his love and strength.  There will be no comfort for a long time, but I pray that God will help you all find solace and know Bill will be with you forever.

My prayers go out to the Brunner family and friends I am deeply saddened by you're loss.Bill was steadfast his whole life and I know he is in Heaven.

My deepest condolences to Bill and family. Bill's sister Beth has always spoken so highly of him and when I met Bill I understood why. Rest in peace Bill you will be greatly missed. Heaven is an even better place with you there now.

Our deepest sympathy to all of Bill's family.  We are deeply sadened by his loss.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
The Casarella Family, Tom, Mitzi, Tom, Victor & Sue

Beth, Hunter and David,   There are no words to describe our sorrow, just know we share your tears and broken hearts! We have such amazing memories of Bill growing up.  He is a great man and will be terribly missed.   You will be in our thought and prayers!

Bill, Beth, & boys, 
We're so sorry for Bill's early homegoing. Bill was kind enough to talk to Alex after church a few weeks ago about trains. From one train family to another, "When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don't throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.” The Great Engineer, the Lord God our Father, is still guiding us all. Praying for comfort that passes all understanding and sending love. Chris, Amanda, Alex, & Kitty Cat

Beth,  I was so sorry to hear about Bill's passing.  I am thankful we have such a loving Church family to assist you during this hard time.  Please know that you are the boys and the rest of your family will be in prayers for many many days to come.

So sorry to hear of the loss of Bill. May knowing that others care comfort you in your loss.

Beth, Hunter and David.  We were so shocked and saddened to hear of Bill's passing.  You all have been a second family to Oliver through the years and I feel as if Hunter is one of my own.  This breaks my heart.  There are no adequate words for comfort but you are in my prayers.  If there is anything at all you need don't hesitate to call.  Hunter knows our door is always open.

We are so saddened by your tragic, unexpected loss and pray God enfolds you in His loving care to uplift and sustain your family through this difficult adjustment.    "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." Deuteronomy 31:8

Of songs of joy,
Of songs of sorrow,
Of songs we sing,
Do not wait until tomorrow!

Of lives that are born,
Of lives that live,
Of this world we live on,
Our life must give.

Of growing up,
Of growing old,
Of growing grey,
We now must become bold!

Of what is fair,
Of what is right,
Of what may we sing when we part,
To staunch the wounds of your weeping heart?

May the Heavens bless and protect the Brunner and Garbee families.
