Time to Rest

Time to rest soldier your work on Earth is done

You have fought the last battle, the last race has been run

The mansions up in glory need a handyman that's great

someone perhaps wearing a Nascar cap with the Number 48

We miss you already no words could accurately say

 how you impacted us every single day.

Your life was one of service love and devotion

of sacrifice and patience of every noble notion

You certainly got mad at times and though your words might have made a sailor blush

You respected others and you loved us all so much.

So rest my weary soldier in the arms of the Savior, blessed assurance our faith does not waver

No need to worry about mom now she is right by our side however we are a poor substitute for you are

always on her mind.

Just past the clouds beyond the sunset we know you wait.

To greet us all one by one as we enter Heaven's gates


Stephen Bridgers anything but a common man, an extraordinary man who left a legacy to his family of respect, hard work and love.  May we continue that, one day at a time

  2. I only saw your Dad at your wedding, but I remember someone did not show up and your Dad stepped in and did the part. That impressed me. I just remember him as a "step up and do what needed doing" kind of man. I am praying for you and your family. Melisa Bell
