Dear Al,
I wanted you to know that I still think of you often and reminisce fond memories to my husband you never got to meet. I know Stu really misses you a lot, I hope you can feel how much. Kathy and Ralph miss you too, they see your parents from time to time, it makes me smile when Kathy lets me know. I sometimes wonder what you would’ve thought of this whole crazy year, but it makes me smile to think you know more than any of us. I have two little boys of my own now, and I hold them especially close when I think of you. I pray you are at peace and pray for God’s love to embrace your family here on earth. We miss you and love you.

I try to be happy and laugh every day. Over the years my skin has become very tough and very little upsets me anymore. The day your mother called me and told me of your passing was a very bad day for me. I will never forget her voice. No parent should have to experience that. My heart broke for you and your family. I thought I was getting so old and tough that I could not cry. You proved me wrong. That call will live with me the rest of my life. The strange thing was my mind went right back to you and Karli sitting in the AW restaurant with me. Two cute little kids. God bless you and your family and your friends.

It doesn't happen often Avery... I have no words.
There simply are none because we're not supposed to outlive our children.
There is no answer to WHY that would console and, no explanation that would suffice.
You and Wally, Stewart and Greg have my most heavy heart to add to your burden and the weight you all carry.
I am so sorry.
From my family to yours, Big hugs and sincerest condolences to you all.

I asked my father to get a hold of your family several weeks ago-ironically. I wish he had've, I wanted to get in touch with Al, talk about making a band (he could sing), catch up, reminisce on Moscow days and our short lived friendship. Al was several months older than me, but years ahead of me in terms of development; he had a hand in introducing me to Pink Floyd and The Doors and the fundamental music I love still. I will continue where you left off. I hope you're enjoying yourself wherever you are now my friend.
Wally and Avery, my condolences.

God Bless.
