Alberta, We were so saddened to hear of Alan's passing. I wanted to send a card, but didn't know your address. I hope you know how much you both influenced our lives. We loved serving with you in the Birmingham, Alabama Mission. Alan was a great man of faith and has a wonderful family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. We love you!!
