Ben Murray Bruce loses beloved wife, Evelyn, to Cancer

The founder of the Silverbird Group and former Senator representing Bayelsa State recently lost his wife, Evelyn to cancer.

He took to his Twitter page to share the tragic news of her passing while admonishing that early detection is key towards combating the disease.

Our deepest condolences to the entire Bruce family at this time of immense grief.

I’m broken. Just lost my beautiful wife to cancer. She was my best friend for 43 years and my wife for 41 years. Cancer is real, but it shouldn’t be a death sentence – awareness, and early detection and treatment are key to survival. I miss her so so much. I’m broken. pic.twitter.com/MPTTBhsGnB
