Al, I love you so much that I can't imagine this earth without you. You told me of a flower garden you found yourself in while in a coma in the army hospital after being hurt so badly in world war two. The flowers were so big and beautiful you couldnt find a word that could describe them.In this garden was an incredible feeling of peace. I believe God gave you a small peek of heaven then and that's where I imagine you to be now. God Bless you, your sister,

I know Al has wanted to go HOME for a long time now, and I am very grateful to Our Heavenly Father for reaching down and taking him before his suffering got any worse. This life on earth brought him enough suffering from time to time. Everyone in heaven will get to enjoy his stories now!
