Al, you were like a father to me and I will always remember you with a smile. You had a way of making me feel like I was the most beautiful and funniest person in the whole world. I will miss that contagious laugh! Until we meet again, Godspeed. Love you, Lainie

Dear Cindy,

My heart is saddened by your sorrow and the loss of your dad.

It is still incredible to me that we struggled together through our Dad's illness's and are now struggling through their deaths, ironically only 11 days apart. It would be great if our friendship manifests into their friendship in "A paradise we can't even imagine."

We met because of a ring, and the ring symbolizes eternal life.

I send you and your family strength and comfort during this sorrowful time.

My sincerest sympathy,
