Alan Crosskill

sAlan, I am sorry I didn't make it to your funeral as I was to say a few words that my Cousin Merci had for me. That night there was a storm and I live in Sacramento, CA. Here are a few words I want to tell you, you married Merci, a wonderful Lady, I know you made her happy all the years you were married. I met Merci in 1951 when she was only a young 19 or 20 years old. quite a dancer she was. You rest in peace my friend, God is taking care of Merci.

My dearest love

It has been a year and days that you left us. The holidays are sad but the memories comfort me when I get misty. June 14, Sept. 7, Thanksgiving and December are full of wonderful memories.
Dan called and we reminisce over thanksgivings , all the years when the five us got together in Pismo. June and September that we spent such happy times in Carmel and December , after our party we would go to Carmel. Remember Jeannette ? She said to me " Don't cry because it is...

My dearest love

In a few days it will be a year since you left us. Hard to believe.
It seems like only yesterday. Every day I miss you more and more. I
am grateful for the amazing strength that God has given me, for the
wonderful memories you left me, for Rita, your mush head, who has
been my rock, for faithful friends that are here for me. When I
feel sad and misty, I remind myself that you are in a better place.
No more hospitals, no more rehabs, no...

Dear Alan:

You are missed so much! Every time I watch, listen or even hear about hockey I think of you and our conversions about the game. Of course, with only the fondest memories of your Canadian team.....not. LOL. It's hard to believe it has almost been a year since your journey to heaven. I hope you are not giving anybody a bad time up there. :-) And, hopefully, you get to eat whatever you want. As everyone knows, chicken will probably not be on the list. I cannot...

My dearest love
You left us half a year ago, today and it only seems like yesterday i
held your sweet face to give you a kiss.
Your memorial gathering was wonderful. There were tears and
laughter. Your wish was granted. You said you did not want a funeral
with sad bells ringing, you wanted a party so your friends would
have drinks on you and that is what was done . You were so loved
darling. I invited 75 friends. It was a terrible night of wind and
rain and the...

Merci:

I am thinking of you and have each day. My heart just aches for you and Rita. May the sweetest memories be with you especially today, for it belongs to you and your darling sweetheart and angel, Al. I know he is there with you lovingly catching each tear, reassuring you that you have each other's love forever. The angels are holding your hand and his, and they are crying too..

All my love Dawne
PS Thank you for letting us be part of your life and love.

My fondest memory of Alan was in October. He was cheerful and kept Johnny and me laughing. We had such a good time, we over stayed our visit, Sorry about that!
Alan was a good man and gentleman in the true sense of the word. He showed class in every way. Alan you are free of pain now. Rest in peace and enjoy your pipe and a cocktail

Dear Merci,
I'm going way back to the days before you and Alan were married. I remember so vividly how we unmercifully teased him about living in the "fun, happening city of San Lorenzo"! The 1st time I ever went to Carmel was with you, Alan and Rita. Whenever I was around the three of you, I felt guaranteed of lots of warmth & fun. Alan was a genuine fine man who is missed by so many. We are all lucky to have known him. Take heart Merci, Alan is looking over you and forever in...
