"I always appreciated so much Alvin's encouraging words and friendly nature. May the God of peace comfort the hearts of the family and friends and may each one be reassured in the confidence that God has prepared a dwelling place in heaven for us and He is faithful in calling His children "home." What a wonderful God we serve!" - Ron and Ruth Border (Minerva, OH)
