March 27, 2021 at 1:21 amDear Mrs. Tynan, Mike, David, Jeffery Peter and Family
My Wife Robin and I were shocked to hear of Alan’s passing, and though we are hurting, it pales in comparison to the pain you all are feeling.
Alan will be greatly missed, and No the days will not get easier, but as with my Brother Dave’s passing in 2016, each day His memory grows more special as yours will be for Alan.
You will find yourselves just thinking of him one day, and starting to cry, cherish those times and enjoy the fact that though they don’t make it easier, they do make them still a real part of us.
I love you all, and Pray Our FATHER in Heaven will grant you all the comfort HE alone can through Christ Jesus our LORD.
GOD Bless
Paul & Robin Wallace
