Dear Auntie Helen, David, Michael and Family, I would like to, once again extend our condolences and sadness about Uncle Al's passing. I have so many fond memories of the time spent at 8 Thurlow Road, Orford Lake and the one or two times that I was fortunate enough to get to Little Rock. Though many years have passed it is very difficult to put into words, the feelings that I have - we've turned another page, but I have such fond memories of Uncle Al and gatherings with Auntie Helen and Cousins David and Michael. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. With love,
Debbie and Tim Welch
