I wanted to express my sincere sympathies to James and Albert’s family. I worked with Albert on occasion and he was a vibrant wonderful man full of life and zest. Always joking and cutting up. A real nice gentleman.. It is my prayer that you are comforted by the many memories you treasure.
My dear friend…I will miss your smile, your laughter, your Southern charm, your love of animals and friends, your humor…You are irreplaceable and will live in my heart forever!
Love,
Felicia
In the few short years that Albert was in our lives, I came to be very fond of him and his wonderful sense of humor. I will remember him always for the joy he brought to our family. Mary
Al I was knocked to my knees when I heard of your death. You were a part of my family for 24 years. May you be pain free.
May you rest in His peace forever and always. Sheryl & Deb
