Dearest Alan,

Thank you for the wonderful memories you have left us all.
With a great appreciation for books, you took me to the amazing Book Warehouse! Always ready and willing to assist anyone who would say to you: Alan, my computer doesn't seem to be working right you would shake your head back and forth in dismay; stop, flash your smile, and say Bring it on over!
Eternal Peace to you,
Respectfully,
Lola
