I know Kaedyn thought the world of him and he will be greatly missed by us all. Those Saturday evening masses just won't be the same without that wonderful smile. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all."
"I am going to try to attend the visitation or service for Alvin today, but just in case I am unable to be there, I wanted you to know that you are all in my thoughts. I very much enjoyed getting to know Alvin and Alice - learning about their life, their interests and their love for their family. The video tribute was so touching. I will remember Alvin's warmth and gentle smile. Sincerely, Linda"
