Trust in God and lean not to thy own understanding. In all thy ways, acknowledge him! Give him the praise for the life of Alvin that was shared with you!

To the Copeland family, Weeping may endure for a night but Joy comes in the morning. Our hearts and prayers go out to you in this time of grief, but always remember that God won't put more on you than you can bear. God saw fit to call his child home and give him his wings for a job well done. Alvin was a good person and never hurt anyone or had a harsh word to say to anyone. So family keep your head up and remember the man that Alvin turned out to be and the Joy that he brought to everyones' life. With love and condolences. Mr.& Mrs. Jimmy Macklin Jr.

I know that a humble and sincere prayer is heard by God, and that he has no respect of person.God loves us all one by one and name by name. God is still good. DD will be missed very much. And God kept DD on his mind-for Jeremiah 29:11, 12, 13 & 14-says so. And even while DD was on the hospital bed-the God that I serve has always been in charge-in spite of the circumstances from the beginning till his first and only death on this side. God is calling all of us-prepare right now.My deepest respect go out to the families-especially all of his beautiful children-who will carry on -not- just his looks-but the love they have for him in the short time they spent with him.
