I knew Alvino while we were both stationed at Langley AFB. It was my pleasure to see him again at Bethel park this past summer at the Maintenance BBQ. My heart goes out to his family. I am sad that he has left this world but my heart is full becasue I got to see him before he was called. With my respect.

I want to thank you all for your love and support. I miss my Dad every second of everyday, but I still feel him around. I don't need to see him to feel him.

Michele and girls,
I am so sorry for your loss. Al was not just another patient to me, he was my freind. From the very first day he walked into Dialysis to the last day he left, he was a wonderful part of my life. I never thought I would have to say goodbye to my friend so soon. He always talked about how much he loved his wife and his girls. I pray that God will heal your heart quickly. Dave and I both miss him so much, and will pray for you everyday.
God bless you,
Shirley Headrick

Michele,
The picture behind your desk has taken on new meaning. It is a lovely expression of a beautiful life--an extension of what Al gave to you and to all who knew him. It even glows in the dark, just as Al's life still shines during these difficult days in which we mourn his passing.

Michelle, Avina, Alvincia, we are so sorry to hear of Al's passing. We know that illness affects the spirit, but so does LOVE. And Al received great love from his beautiful family. We were glad to know him, are blessed to know you, and we thank God for his journey; and thank you, Michelle for so much brightness and laughter. Be strong in the Lord, and the power of His might.

Michelle and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Al was my friend. I can only remember all the good times we shared at Loring AFB Maine. In the last few years Al and I talked a few times a month. I loved him like a brother. I can remember the first time you came to see him up there. He was so darn happy. Talking stuff like you know he could. He, Sam and I shared many good memories at Loring. I am so happy he and I talked week before last.
