Patti, I am so sad to hear of Al´s passing. I have wonderful memories of our conversations about our Faith in the Lord and the state of our world. You and Al were Blessing to Lighthouse and to me. The preschool were blessed by the snacks and crafting supplies the two of you faithfully provided. Sending you a hug and prayers for God´s Comfort and Peace.
With Much Love, Fabianne

I will always remember all the times Al and Patti welcomed me and my friend Ron into their home to fellowship and play games. Al and Patti welcomed us as if we were their own family.
I will also remember what a godly man Al was and the example he set for his family and others to follow.
Thank you for your years of friendship.
Ralph Jones.
