A Tribute To Bruce

I knew when I first saw you as a babe in your mother's arms. Then as a young boy with your brother and sister. After you became a teen and I didn't see you anymore for awhile. You grew up and became a man taking on man's responsibilities. You got married and had a family. I heard the Lord called you into service for His name sake. Now I've been told you went to our Father God yesterday. You did the work, you fought the good fight. And now you rest. Leaving those who love you behind. We will all remember the best of times, laughter, joy, now peace. So, go with the Angels to that Heavenly place. Enjoy till we all meet again. Love, Victory, Peace. To Bruce Halstead July 16, 2015
