I was so sad to learn Alan had passed away. Alan and Janet were one of my favorite customers at a local restaurant in Vail AZ. ALan was always chuckling about something or had a joke to tell...when I'd tell him it was good seeing him he'd always reply. .."it's always good to be seen"...I wish I could of got to see that tall fellow one more time before I had to abruptly leave my job.. he put up a good fight for 15 yrs and may he rest in peace now.. Janet I think of u often and my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. .
Much love to you,
Betty

What a great human being Chad was. We met during the years of slow-pitch softball on the Armadillos team. So many memories. With Love, Beth Goldman Porter with husband Paul Porter and our sons Shane and Wyatt

I am so thankful to have met you in the chemo room. The fact that you made us laugh in a place that seemed impossible to find laughter was such a gift. You were one of the people I looked forward to seeing each time I had to go get chemo. You were a real gift to me and my mom.Thank you for helping us learn that there is so much good to be found in hard situations. I hope you knew how much that meant to us.
