Dear Cheryl, Jeanette, and Family:

On behalf of my entire family, please accept our condolences upon your loss. I met Al only a couple of times, but he was a very gracious host to me and my family and it was very obvious that he was a loving husband, a supportive father, and a wonderfully caring and intelligent individual. In this difficult time, we hope you can find some comfort in the many wonderful memories of the times you shared together. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Much love,

David, Karen, Kevin, Rachel, Aunt Terry and Uncle Ray
