Truck Driver
Heaven couldn’t have a better new occupant. Mash yer motor, driver. Godspeed.
It’s an HONOR.
Into Paradise may the angels lead you;
At your coming may the martyrs receive you,
And lead you into the holy city Jerusalem.
May the choirs of angels receive you,
And with Lazarus who once was poor
May you have peace everlasting.
Hey MissFlower — I am sorry that my music stuff is not working properly right now so I cannot post a musical tribute. I am sending up prayers for his family and friends.

Thanks for the ping Mountain Flower. May our veteran brother rest in peace and may our Lord give the family comfort in their time of mourning.
I join in prayer for Hal’s loved ones, God’s peace blessing and guidance as they deal with his homegoing.
God bless Hal as he, too, walks with American Patriots that are in heaven. May America’s patriots watch over us from heaven and may they protect us from the current Liberal madness. Amen.

Prayers for God’s comfort for the family and for the minister performing the service. May he preach full of faith and may the Spirit of God quicken the truth of spoken scriptures to the hearers.
RIP Hal!!
My thoughts & prayers go out to Hal’s family & friends during this time. God Bless You!
God bless Hal, and his family and friends.
Please let his family know that Patriot Guard is available to pay tribute and give protection at his funeral. It is an amazing group. They must be invited though. I participated when there were bikes for miles. I’ll bet Hal would have gotten a kick out of it.
Rest in Peace, Hal. Condolencees to your family.
Joining with you all in prayer.
RIP, Hal. Prayers for the family.
