Missy, David, Mike, and family,

We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Mr. Al will really be missed by our family including our 2 dogs. He was a great neighbor and always so thoughtful. He enjoyed giving the dogs a biscuit, he would put coupons and magazines for me to read in my herons mouth by the steps, bring my girls the newest flavor of microwave popcorn to try and always talk with Mark about man stuff.

May God's Love comfort you,
Mark, Donna, Nina, and Elise Heatfield
