Mary Anne and Family. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. I always enjoyed visiting with Alvin. We had a lot to share with each other especially being cancer survivors. He always had a smile for me whenever we seen each other, whether it was a quick hello and how are you or a longer visit. I have missed seeing him and Mary Anne around town. Cherish all your memories as I will cherish all of mine. Hugs to all. Deepest sympathy.
