Dear Carol and family:
We are praying that the Lord will wrap His arms or comfort and love around each you in your grief over Al's death. He was a wonderful man.
One fond memory we have of his is that years ago when Joan was at the Pyramid Mall she came out to the parking lot with no idea of where she had left the car. Who did she run into but Al who was Johnny-on-the-spot. He drove her around until our car was spotted. What a relief!
You will continue to be in our prayers.
Your friends, Don and Joan Burgett
