    My deepest sympathy and prayers for the Layne families. Started remembering all the good memories that our families shared years ago on weekends at my dad's place in Lake Lure. Of course all the guys were fishing day and night. Lean on Jesus during your pain of loss and remember that Bruce has moved to a better place and we will see our friends and loved ones again.
