Marlies and Family, It’s hard to know what to say at a time like this and I cannot know how you feel. I did not know Alan very well, but I do know that he was someone who lived his life the best he knew how to and that he touched each person who crossed his path in a very unique way, leaving them with special memories of their own. My wish for you and your family is that your memories will give you strength in this difficult time and will hold you up in the days to come. My thoughts are with you.
