Diane,
I am so sorry to learn that Alan has passed. Your long marriage is a wonderful tribute to a fine man. I hope you have many shoulders to lean on at this time. My thoughts are with you.

Diane - I am really sorry to learn of Alan's passing so late but I just read about it in the Lake View High Newsletter. I remember Alan as an upright, good man and I hope you remember him that way too. It may be difficult to learn to live alone after 47 years of marriage but you are strong and with friends and famnily you will survive this.
