Bruce Cochran were cousins and grew up in NE. He and his mother, Ruby Cochran lived about 30 miles from he home town but would come for family gatherings and holidays. As our lives all change we were separated for about 50 years, no knowing were family were scattered.
About 5 years ago I was trying to locate him and called a number and asked if he know some called Laura Gail, my childhood family name. Yes, he did and we were able to find our we were really living in CO and made plans to meet.
Oh how much we had to catch up on and what and where we had gone. My family was construction and I married military so did a lot of moving. We finally settled about 1970 in Colorado Springs. He had done his share of moving and had settled in Arvada.
We were able to meet and talk about all the years that had separated an what we had done in that time. I met his son, Karl and wife Christine and granddaughter Heather. He spent some time with us and we visited with him. We were saddened to learn of Heathers passing, and seeing Bruce's health deteriorate.
We know he is in a much better place now and without pain. We pray he is enjoying the reunion with his beloved mother, wife, son and granddaughter living with our Heavenly Father Jesus Christ in the kingdom of Heaven. Our hearts are saddened for us, but rejoice for Bruce. Until we meet again. Love you. Laura
