    Marvin, Collette, Pam and Stephanie ... My deepest sympathy to each of you in the passing of your father-in-law and grandfather. I am so very sorry for your loss. I remember meeting him at Charlene's visitation and what a kind gentleman he was that day. Now, they are back together for all eternity and we will soon all be together with the Lord for eternity. My prayers and love to all of you, Alton
