Created for Paul and Cora Messinger as the focal point for Scottsdale's first mausoleum and columbarium on Messinger's 42-acre Paradise Memorial Gardens property at Shea Boulevard and 92nd Street.
"Magnificent" "Scottsdale Progress", November 13, 1992
Hanging Up His Bridle
It's been a long and dusty ride
Life's mountain trails he's seen
He's known its gentle rivers
And valleys ever green
He's hanging up his bridle
He's given it his best
The final roundup's over
And he's ready for a rest
So he's hanging up his bridle
No longer will he roam
There's a smile beneath that cowboy hat
For now he's headed home.
