Macca, It is impossible to say how much I will miss Al. It's crazy, but the first thing I thought of when Al passed was when you lived on West 5th down from us and Al and I would sit on the steps summer nights with a couple on cold ones and play cribbage. Of course being the elder I always let him win. I will always remember the times in Maine and Lake Swansee. I loved that guy and I love you dearly Macca.

Auntie Macca -
Words can not describe the terrible heartbreak we all feel. Uncle Al was THE BEST. So full of love and laughter and we could never get enough of him. I know he's in a better place but its still not easy. You two are the epitomy of love. Together since you were 12, I don't think anyone can top that kind of love. I know Uncle Al is looking down on us and will be watching over us all.. I love you Auntie. Bevvie, Kimmie, Mark & Corey we are all here for you.
