Very sad for the Bucholz family. A am just now seeing this as I live outside the area. Al was a great guy and always very kind to me.

I am so sorry to hear this, losing a loved one is never easy, but our loving God promises to give the strength and courage you'll need to endure, and to cope with the pain of your loss. He also promises to hold your hand every step of the way. (Isaiah 40:29, 41:10, 13) May loving memories also sustain your family during this difficult time. With heartfelt sympathy, your neighbor, Ann Smith.
