Bronson is my cousin who was diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago. He was such an example to everyone he came in contact with. The last thing Bronson wanted to do before he died was to go through the temple. We had the opportunity to go through the temple with Bronson 2 weeks ago. The spirit there was amazing and it will be an experience we will never forget. His funeral was today, it was a very nice service. The church was packed; he had touched many lives. We love you Bronson!
