The Family,

Alan was among the greats. He was a good neighbor. He was outgoing and had made a world of friends. I remember his emotional loss one year and two days ago. Christine and I want you to know that you are on our minds and in out prayers as you try to adjust to a new way of life without them. We wish there were some way we could help during these days.

Sincerely,

Norman D. Graham
Richmond, Va.
