Prayers and condolences to the Bridges families. I had the opportunity to meet Lee and his brother, Johnnie, years ago and they were my mechanics and Lee has towed my vehicle many times and they would ALWAYS come through for me. They would make fun of my vehicle and we would laugh and carry on fun, but they fixed it for me. MY heart is filled with grief, but I know that God knows best. Rest Easy Lee and I'm going to miss you dearly. YOU fought a GOOD fiiiight, so go put on your long white robe. ποΈποΈ. Tyner Families, Beauregard Al
