October 16, 2011 at 2:38 am #3466markwellsKeymasterKudos to Mary for leading this very special mission for Mr. David Hall.
I stood among a little more than a hundred PGR members from throughout our state, as well as those from the neighboring states.
The family requested for all of us to join inside for the funeral service. It was very clear.
The members of the PGR were like family to David Hall. And his family showed us that on this picture perfect day there on the northside of the Trinity river in NE downtown Fort Worth, that they were proud to have had us there with them.
As I fought the IH 35 Raceway, I thought to myself how David made so many trips up and down that highway with his Freedom Bell intow. Like us proud to show our respect.The Bell still rings David !
Our prayers are with your loveones.
