I was sorry to hear of Al's death. I had only met him a couple of times - he was so kind to keep in touch with my mother, Hazel Brown, Thelma's cousin, through the years. We exchanged Christmas catds, and Al's was always the first to arrive in December. We will miss that!

I have missed seeing your father and you at breakfast in DuBois.So have others who mentioned your Dad recently. So sorry to read of your loss. God knows when He is ready for us so we have to accept when it happens. You took good care of your father, Greg, and will have all your memories to comfort you. May you and your family know the comfort of God as you grieve. Thinking of all your families.
