Mary Jo, Bud and I are so glad that these last couple years we were back in touch with you and Al and thank you for introducing us to Compassion International--Al leaves a legacy of joy in the Lord for us all. Let us know if you come back down to AZ. Our best,

Mary Jo and family, we were so sorry to hear yesterday that Al had passed away. But we rejoice that we will see his ever smiling face again in Heaven and in the mean time have such good memories to recall of the years we knew him. He was such a great guy and a terrific example of how God can use all of us to help and encourage others if we make ourselves available as he did.

We are praying for all of you during this period of adjustment and that the Great Comforter overwhelms you with peace.

In His love,

Courtney Langner

This message is from the brother of Mary Jo Stack, Jack A. Sorgenfrei, and his family. Al will always be remembered as a fine, upstanding man who had a smile and laugh for everyone he encountered. Let us celebrate the long and loving life of Al and give support and condolences to Mary Jo (Mickey, to me), and their fine family.
