Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, you are all in my thoughts and prayers during this time. My memories go way back to 5th grade and I still hold those memories dear to my heart. Mr. Martin was a wonderful person. Please remember all of the memories and special times to help you through this time.

We've been in Ohio for six years this month and still trying to get use to the snow. Bill and I have twin girls, in 4th grade, and turning 10 in January. We got a late start. They...

Fran, Al was my Supervisor for many years. I also considered him my friend. He worked so very hard in life, and I truly believe God needed Alvin and called him home. Peace to your family and gain strength in Gods love.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Thinking of you at this difficult time. And though that doesn't change anything, perhaps it helps to know, your pain is shared by many who understand what a very sad loss this is for all of you. May friends be your comfort, and time your healer. With thoughts and prayers.

Fran, Aldene, and Annette,
You have been in our family's thoughts and prayers the past few days and will continue to be. We've talked about memories of how you have touched our lives over the years. With Annete being my sister's best friend since they were so little, and Fran playing piano at our wedding and also being such a presence still today at our children's school. You are such good people. We never got to know Al, but I wish we had. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to you. May...

Fran and family, I know Als' passing has left a large hole in your hearts. I know that the strength you have in the Lord will carry you through the days ahead. Al was a loyal christian and he loved his family and his church family. God Bless and my prayers are with you.

Dear Fran and girls,
Sadly I have been remiss in reading the obituaries the past couple of days so was unaware of your sudden loss of loving husband and best friend, devoted father and beloved grandfather. What wonderful memories you have on which to reflect. Knowing that your steadfast faith is sustaining you, the only solace I can offer is the assurance that you know Al is in the presence of his Lord and Savior. Our deepest sympathy to all of you.
Sincerely,
...

Fran and Family: We are deeply saddened to learn of Al's sudden death. It is so difficult to lose loved ones during the holidays. We pray that God will comfort you and put his loving arms around you. We always enjoyed visiting Valley View knowing we would see Al's smiling face. He will be missed.

Mrs. Martin, Aldene, and Annette: I was saddened to hear about your loss. Aldene was in most of my classes from kindergarden through Breckinridge, Mr. Martin was often at our school; with PTA meetings, fund raisers and our Christmas concerts. He was always so gracious. May God bless you all!
