Ardie, we are so sorry to hear of Al's passing. Our Lord has called his good servant home as Al's work here on this earth is done. We enjoy so much you and Al in our small group and our church family. The knowledge, wisdom, and experience you share with us is greatly appreciated. We admire the example you and Al set with all the service and volunteering you do at Sunrise and Love Inc. You both are great role models for us all to try and aspire to. Al will be missed greatly. We pray that God's grace and peace be with you, Edward and family during this difficult time. Love, Dick and Leslie Reimink
