Dear Terry, Carol and families,
I know the loss you're feeling seems so insurmountable at this point. Your dad was a sweet and honorable man. He also had a great, very dry sense of humor. I remember at Sean's wedding when I re-introduced myself to him after some time, and he said, "I remember you well. You're the pretty Armstrong sister." Well, from that experience, I have to say, Alzheimer's didn't affect his memory one bit! It was wonderful to see him that day, and to have him with his whole family in one place at that time. I know it meant the world to him. Roy and I and the kids are thinking of you and praying that your sadness gives way to happy memories and fond stories at future family gatherings. Our love to you all.
Carol, Roy, Roy and Mackenzie Alvarez

A prayer of comfort comes your way to the family of Mr. Harold Brannan. I am sure that I spoke with Mr. Brannan on many occassions while I was a city delivery driver bringing cleaning compounds to the Western Reserve Hospital. It was a tough place to back in to, but everyone was friendly and helpful. That was a long time ago now, but I still remember. May the Lord be with the family at this time of loss.
