The Trucker's Last Ride: He traveled the roads In years gone past A life he chose and Hoped it would last Driving all night From state to state Trying to get home And arriving so late He parked his truck now His engine has stopped And those who love him Their hearts have dropped He traveled the country With a smile of great pride Now he drives the streets of Heaven On the trucker’s last ride May God ride with you 10-4 and goodbye. ~ Author Unknown Due to public health concerns visitation and services will be private.
