Great Great Uncle Al & Arabella (Bella)

Melissa Gleason

January 17, 2013

To all of our family and friends who prayed many prayers for my Uncle Al, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Al will be very missed. He was more than a great uncle to me and uncle to my mother Lisa, he was loved and loved us just as a father and grandfather would. He was loved by many and was a very special man to all of us. Thank you again for prayers and a special thanks and hugs to his loving wife Gail. I don't know what we would have done without her. No man was ever taken better care of than he was by this amazing woman. Very special prayers to her and her whole family and our family for all they have done for him and loving him so very much.
