Mary and family, I am so sorry for your loss! Bug Al was a great man. I will always treasure the memory of him and my brother on travel in Charleston when my dog tried very hard to steal him away from you :). He will be missed. Praying you find peace in this difficult time

Dearest Mary, Marissa, Kovach Family and Friends,
Please know that your faithful NAVAIR friends share deeply in your grief for the loss of your beloved and devoted husband, father, brother, friend. We are very sad to hear about the sudden terrible loss of Allen; he fought a courageous battle. Please know that we are hurting with you and will miss him also.
Love is a fabric that never fades, no matter how often it gets washed in the waters of adversity and grief. We personally know death leaves a sting and heartache that is difficult to heal, but Love leaves sweet, wonderful memories that no one can steal. May the precious memories you hold in your heart help soothe your soul at this difficult time and in the rough days ahead.
Allen was a great, loving, giving man and will be dearly missed by everyone that was blessed to know and love him. You and your grieving family and friends continue to be very much on our hearts and in our thoughts and prayers.
May you feel the warm embrace of loving memories and hear happy echoes of the great times shared together with him and your loving family and friends. May Allen forever rest in peace. May thoughts of him forever bring Love, Light and Laughter into your lives.
Until grief recedes, peace sustains and loving memory remains, our thoughts and prayers will always be with you and your loved ones.
In God's Word and in His Love, we can find the comfort and strength we need to see us through our sorrow. May God give you more of Himselfmore of His mercy and grace during your times of need.
Life is eternal, love is immortal, and death is only a horizon (remembering that a horizon is nothing but the limit of our sight). God's heart is full of hope, love, and peace for you and so are our prayers. May He always continue to abundantly bless and keep you and all your loved ones in His ever faithful, loving care.
With Heartfelt Sympathy in Faith, Hope, Love, Joy & Peace In Him Always,
Debbie & John McConnell
