Dear Beverly, Bobby, Mary Joyce, & Alan's Family, I am thinking of you all and you have my deepest sympathy. As we get older we expect to lose parents and friends some day, but it is so unexpected to lose one of the "old neighborhood gang". I guess we just have so many good memories of when we were much younger that we expect it to stay that way. You are in my prayers.

Dear Mary, Bev, Bobbie, Debra and Alan's family, Please accept my condolences on Alan's passing. Though I always only knew him as "Mary's older brother", I was sorry to hear of the news. My thoughts are with your family. Roberta DeLavo- Ruggieri

Dear Debra and Family, Our prayers are with you in your loss of Alan. I have fond memories of being neighborhood buddies during our high school years. Jeff and I also enjoyed times together with you and Alan in the early days of our marriages. We now live in Pensacola, FL where Jeff is pastor of Faith Baptist Church, so we will not be able to be at the funeral. Be assured of our love and prayers, and we look forward to seeing Alan in Heaven. May our Lord bless and strengthen you and your family in the days ahead.
