We’re going to miss you Alan.
I knew Alan for about 9 years, from working at Kroger. He was nice to me from day 1. One of the nicest people in the whole world. He will be missed greatly!!! R.I.P. Alan.
A good man and wonderful friend from childhood and church. So many great memories. Sorry we could not make the service. Love you Wanda, thinking of you. Be strong in the Lord. The peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. And one day we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall ever be with the Lord. Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it. The day of the Lord will come. He that hath the Son hath life.
Alan, you will be greatly missed!! As my cousin, you were always a lot of fun to be around. My memories of our family together always included a lot of laughter and I loved your laugh!!. I know I am sad and so are dad and mom (David and Dorothy McClure)! You were like a son to dad and mom and the sadness we feel now from losing you is more for ourselves and our loss because as a Christian we don’t have to sorrow that we won’t see you again. We will see you again when we have our great reunion in heaven. No sadness for you though, for the Lord has healed you and you are in His presence. Though the miles have kept us from being together very often, you were always close to our hearts. So for now we will not say ‘goodbye” but only Until we meet again. With much Love,
Darlene and Ricky Case
