Dear Rhonna and family, Alan was a fighter.How grateful you all must be for the time you were able to have. I wish I could be able to see you in person but due to my own cancer status it would be too difficult for all of us. I believe that Alan is at peace and enjoying the glory that the heavenly Father promises. May you all find peace and comfort in sharing your love and memories of Al. I will pray for you all and all the family. Hug and kiss those beautiful girls he loved soo much.May they be your comfort and guide in the days to come.

"Our deepest sympathy to you all at this time of sorrow. He is in God's care now and what better care could we ever ask for him! Now I pray for your comfort in the days ahead. God bless you and keep you in His tender care and love for all eternity."
God saw him getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around him
and whispered,
"Come to Me"
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away
and although we love you dearly
we could not make you stay.
A Golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best
