Hi Mike and Carrie. With a name like Alton, a son like Mike and a daughter-in-law like Carrie, I am certain that he lived a good life. He's up THERE with all our other loved ones--big and little. I know that beautiful harvest full moon a few days ago was a direct message from him for you. Love, Mary
