“We want to wish Uncle Alvin's family our deepest sympathy. I will always have very fond memories of him from when we were growing up. He was a genuine, happy, honest, sincere Christian who was respected by all. His wife and children are good examples also. May he rest in peace with His Lord and Savior. Keeping you all in our fervent thoughts and prayers. Gerardo & Lila VacaGuzman (Bleyenberg)”
