Heartfelt sympathy to Carolyn and the family. Alvin was always a favorite nephew of my grandparents and a favorite cousin of my mom, Loretta. Your Louisiana cousins will be keeping you all in prayer.

My sincere sympathy to Carolyn, Bryan, Roy Don and family in the loss of their husband, father, and brother and other family members. I have known Alvin from my childhood days and I have fond memories of both his family and Carolyn's family so very well. I pray for peace and for the God of all comfort to embrace and grace their lives in a special way at this time of grieving. I remember when Carolyn and Alvin married; the years have passed so quickly... My love and blessings are extended to the entire family. I learned about his demise through a mutual friend: Phyllis Green Taylor in Buffalo, Tx., formerly of Stamford. Ruth Kight-Korngable - Fort Worth, Tx, also formerly from Stamford.
