Frank & Michelle: My deepest sympathy to both of you on Alan's passing. His smile and personality lit up a room wherever he was at. He would laugh and poke fun at me with Donna Scheid's and Rhonda White's encouragement! Prayers for both of you. His life struggles are now over, but the life he has now in heaven is grand.
