To Al's Family,
May God bless you and help you find peace as we say good-bye to such an awesome man. I know that no one looks forward to coming to the doctor's office but I looked forward to Al & Joan's Visits to me. Especially after my husband passed. They always took the time to check up on me, when it was Al who should have been getting the attention. I enjoyed our friendship and I will miss the laughter. Love you, Betsy
