Miss Betty:
We will truly miss Al's presence at Mike's. We will always remember that he didn't like to sit with us happy people, yet he always brought a smile to our face each time that we saw him. He will be missed by a lot of people.
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
