So sorry to learn of Alvie’s passing. I know how much he loved his family. Prayers during this time and the days ahead. I will be thinking of you Mary and Riley.
Alvie was a fine man. I had many good dealings with him at Ziebart. Alvie always treated me and my family very good and with the upmost respect, this I will always remember. My thoughts and prayers go to his family and the many friends he made here on earth. May you rest in peace big man. The Turley’s.
Alvie was such a wonderful man. So loving and caring. He loved his family and friends so much and wanted the best for them. He wanted everyone to know and love the Lord as much as he did. He will be greatly missed.
I want to express my condolences to the family at the loss of Alvie. I have known him and his family for years.

Saying goodbye to someone we love is heartbreaking. May you find comfort in knowing that the heartbreak of loss is noticed by our heavenly Father. Jeremiah 29:11 ” For I well know the thoughts that I am thinking toward you,’ declares Jehovah, ‘thoughts of peace, and not of calamity, to give you a future and a hope.” He promises to very soon bring about this “hope” by bringing all our dear loved ones back to life through a resurrection and reuniting them with us forever again.
Isaiah 26:19 “Your dead will live. Awake and shout joyfully, You residents in the dust! For your dew is as the dew of the morning, And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life.” This means that we can have the heartwarming hope that someday, in God’s new world, we will be reunited with loved ones who have fallen asleep in death.
