Dear Mary and Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Who would have every imagined that your lives would take such a turn. All I can say is that as trite as it sounds, you can only take one day at a time and sometimes even that is too much. Just know that so many people and friends think of you and love you and you will get through it (not over it).
I just wanted you to know that I have been thinking about you and praying for you.
Fondly, Dileta McNally

Dear Mary and family,
Just heard the sad news about Al. As I think back to the days we used to work together at Southgate at Shrewsbury, his strong electrical competence, his jolly nature and his desire to do a good job are what I remember most.
May you be comforted by your good memories and the love and support of your many friends and family.
I send you my deepest sympathies.

Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

I could always count on AL to keep me updated on the local sports. I work a different shift and usually don't see the end of the games. AL would give me a recap of the end of the game when I came in at 3:00am AL adored his family and spoke of you often. My thoughts and prayers are with you always.

Mary & Family,
All of us at G&L Plumbing are saddened by the loss of our dear friend Alan. When we worked for him at Southgate, or when we worked with him out in the field, he was always a true gentleman and always had an amusing story to tell. He was a pleasure to work with. He was a master of his trade, and a friend that we will sorely miss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
