Not sure what to say?

This weekend will be the first physical inventory at Alliance Beverage without you, my friend. We will miss you. We relied on you so much to get us prepared on the Thursday and Friday before the count. You did a great job in teaching us what you did, so I'm sure we'll get by. Thank you. From now until the last inventory that I participate in at Alliance, I will always remember you. You are such a good friend. You are the kind of friend that never needed much attention, but always gave...

Life - being, entity, growth, animation, endurance, survival , presence, living, consciousness, breath, vitality, experiences, excitement. MJ, thank you for the meaning of life, you are to me and to many, Love, Laughter and Learning.
And... to Bella, you are the love of his life, we should all be so lucky!
You are forever in my heart and were the best "lunch buddy" ever! I will have a smile for you each and everyday.

Having Uncle Jerry as my godfather was very special to me and I have many fond memories of him. One great memory that I have of him was when my family and I were visiting his and Aunt Bella’s house in Arizona. We arrived at their house at around nine o’clock and they had a “taco bar” prepared for us for dinner. I was a pretty picky eater at the time, and I politely told them that I didn’t really like tacos. Uncle Jerry told me I could put whatever I wanted on my taco shell. He let me do...

: I have few memories of Uncle Jerry but that doesn’t mean that I don’t know the amazing man that he was. I do however, remember the first time I had ever been to an Indian wedding (Fara and Chuck) and Jerry was there. My sister and I had been talking amongst ourselves and our uncle Jerry stepped in and gently said, “Hey this is the first time I’ve seen an Indian wedding and I’m an old man, so you guys should watch this because you two are so young,” and he said it in a way that a young child...

We were so fortunate to have had the honor of meeting Jerry through our dear friend, Bella. Throughout the early 90’s we became close friends with Bella and Jerry through camping trips in northern Arizona and New Mexico, dinners and shows like “Phantom of the Opera” and spending time at each other’s homes and at their place in Sedona. By the time our first child, Kristina, was born there was no question who we would want for our daughter’s godparents. We were so thrilled when Bella and...

My Friend MJ,
I first experienced MJ when I started working at Alliance Beverage in 2000. He approached me with a big smile and an open hand. MJ approached everyone that way. There were no strangers just people he had not met yet.
MJ was a great help to me growing as a manager and person. He had a way of reading people that allowed him to treat everyone with respect and present it in a way that they were very receptive and open. In watching MJ work his magic, he helped me learn how...

Dear Bella,
You and Jerry were blessed with love, kindness, caring and sharing. I am very fortunate and thankful to have Jerry's and your friendship. Jerry was quite a gentleman with an inspiring personality. I recall his encouragement when I struggled with the paint brushes. And you are a wonderful lady and a great soul whom Jerry relied on in life and during his ordeal. I will be honored to continue enjoying your friendship.
Much love from all of us. Shahram

On Death
Kahlil Gibran

You would know the secret of death.
But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.
If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.


In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of...
