Shari and family of both you and Al. We are very sorry to learn of your loss. I wish we had been able to get to know Al. We are glad you had the time together that you did. Jim and I have learned to call upon our Lord daily, so may the love and comfort of Christ be with you during this difficult time.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences for your loss. Many have found comfort in the pages of God’s word, the Bible. In it we find the promise that we can be reunited with our loved ones (John 5:28,29). The Bible also tells us where this happy reunion will take place (Psalm 37:11,29). May the promises of Our Creator bring comfort to your grieving hearts and you cherish the loving memories of Alan.
To all that were a part of Al’s life. Our hearts are sad but we all remember how he touched our lives for the good. We will take each of our memories and smile and think of all that he was to so many.
Love and prayers to everyone.
Pete and Casey. A gentle heart, a sense of humor and a contagious smile are just a few attributes that I best remember about your dad. I spent many a Sundays visiting your grandparents in Batavia and especially cherish the old Stringham family reunions in the park behind their house. You dont know me but I’m a distant relative–your dad, Alan and my mother Marylou Stringham Ball are first cousins. With deepest sympathy, Jonathan & Mary Ball Atlanta,Ga.
