Priscilla, Jean and Alfie,
We will always remember the good visits we had with Al and you. The two of you we always so positive and inquiring about how our family was doing. Al was always concerned with other people. We will certainly miss him. He is finally at peace.

Our family will cherish the many memories we have of Al. We enjoyed his company and he was more than a friend he was "family". We will miss him greatly.
May he rest in peace.

Dear Priscilla,
Patrick, I and the boys are so sorry to hear of Al's passing. We so enjoyed all the talks while Al sat out on the stoop. Michael enjoyed sitting and playing with the trains with Al. We each have our wonderful memories of someone who truly loved to live each day to its fullest. He will be surely missed by one and all who knew him. God Bless and Peace be with you and the entire Cotton family.
