We just got on the family web site to see what was going on when we see Alan's picture. We did not know about this. Please know the family is in our thoughts and prayers.

We will all miss you Uncle Al!

I remember when we were little kids, you used to babysit us. You were always fun to be around. I still have great memories of you taking us to art school with you and letting us make our own creations with clay and molding our faces into ceramic masterpieces. My most special memory with you is when we prayed the prayer of salvation together a couple summers ago. That moment was so precious to me. You hold a special place in my heart and even though you didn't realize it, you did leave your own special "mark" here on earth and within our hearts. I will miss talking on the phone with you late at night... until I can't keep my eyes open any longer. I know I will see you again and what a glorious day that will be!

Love you always,

Jamie

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rodneys' family. It's never easy to lose a loved one, but to know that he is with his Father in Heaven will bring you comfort. And when it is your turn, you will see him again.

When you feel that you have nothing left, there is always hope. May God bless you and comfort you in this hour.

Sincerely, Hooker & Levi

Rodney was a unique person. Always had a smile for me whenever I saw him. He is finally at peace and no more pain.

Al will be remembered as man much like his brothers that passed before him... who's time here on earth was just too short. Then we have to remember, that was our plan...not that of the almighty. In our memories he will always be with us. Peace be with you Al.
