Dear Auntie Gail; Lori, Brian & Tianna; Linda & Cal; Carolyne, husband & Declan; and Christopher... Rob & I will miss Uncle Al. He was a VERY faithful man; to FAMILY, to the "Brothers & Sisters" of the many Congregations of Jehovah's people that you've been associated with these past +56 years, and ESPECIALLY to Jehovah God. He never missed a month of sharing "the Good News of God's Kingdom" in all those years EVEN 'Auxiliary Pioneering' for 50 hours in March (even in a state of poor health) with Tianna, inviting people to join us for the Memorial of Jesus Christ's death. He truly is a "Role Model". Uncle Al ALWAYS laughed AND made US laugh - a real SINCERE laugher. Our last visit together, besides phone calls, was May 9th & 10th, at your campsite at Bear Creek Provincial Park just outside Kelowna. Uncle Al still had camera in hand making 2 of his favorite things to do - be out in Jehovah's creation and take pictures, of which he had MANY!!! When you 2 moved all of your pictures onto computer, Auntie Gail, we appreciated the 'hard copy' of our families pictures. That is what I used to make up the "Memory Board" we took up to you last month, August 26th. You ALL will CONTINUE to be in our prayers as you face your loss of a husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather AND your individual health challenges. Sending you our love, kisses, & hugs from your ever loving niece & cousin, Jacquie, & her hubby, Rob (Jones) @ 1-604-377-6626. E-mail [email protected]
