    Dear Christy, Dan, and Molly,
    We did not know your father, Christy, but in reading his obituary I can get an idea from where your love of life comes. Our prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of such a vital part of your lives. May God give you extra strength and comfort in the days ahead.
    God’s peace.

    We are sorry to hear of Al’s passing. We
    met Al in 2000 on our first trip to China.
    He was fun to be with and made the trip,
    So enjoyable with his humor.
