Dearest Soulmate,
What can I put into a paragraph. I met you at seventeen, married you at nineteen and then my life began. It is just like the words of the songs: "It had to be you", "Because of you", "YOU YOU YOU".
You are in my heart, thoughts and mind every moment of every day. You will always be with me. I will never walk alone because you are here in my heart. I miss your smile, your sense of humor, and your good night honey.
God took you because he needed someone to...

I did not have the honor of knowing Mr Demoree, He served aboard the USS Carlisle during WW2 with my late Father, Elwood Law. I am proud of his service to our country as I`m sure his family is. He will always be considered " Carlisle Family "

Al was the closet thing that I ever had to having my own Grandfather growing up. There were so many good times that I had with Kate and Papa and her whole family. He was a wonderful man and he touched so many hearts. I loved him and I will miss him very much. Love, Becky

Barbara i only knew Al for a few days but i could see that he was a fun loving man and he loved you with all his heart.
He put up a hard fight against his cancer but now he is at rest and free of any pain. In case you forgot me i was your hospice volunteer. god bless

Although I did not know Mr. Demoree personally, I do know of him through his granddaughter Kate, my colleague at work. Through Kate I know he was much loved and will be terribly missed. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends...he and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Al, we have fond memories of the fun times we had at the camp, water skiing and playing around on the raft in lake when we were teenagers. You & Barbara were such gracious hosts. Then we were happy to be able to see you & Barbara again when you parked your motor home in our yard in Port Orange for a short visit. We are blessed to have known you, Al, and to still be considered family friends, even with the geographical distance that has separated us for 32 years. We love you Al, and Demoree...

Dear Barbara and family. We feel so fortunate to have spent this past summer in your 'rental cottage' and to have shared so many special moments with you both. Al fought a courageous fight - he was a bionic man with so much determination and fight for the good life. We will always remember the fun times we had at Frankie & Buzzie's barn, the snowmobile weekend at your then NH camp - now home, and all the warm memories throughout the years and in between. Our thoughts and prayers are with you...
