Kathy and family,
Alan was a special friend that I will miss. We shared a lot of good times at work, on the golf course and hunting together. Words can't explain how much I respected and thought of Alan. Everyone who got to know Alan couldn't help but to like him and he has left a lot of sad friends here in NC. I am blessed to say that he was a friend of mine and for having the time we did together. You are in my prayers and Alan will always be in my memories.

Kathy and children,
You may not remember me, but we met a few times at Shelly's house when the kids were younger before you moved to NC. When I heard of your loss, tears filled my eyes. Lean on your family and friends as they will support you through this time in your lives.
