Dear Grace and your family~ I am so very sorry for your loss. Alan indeed served his country and his Commonwealth with pride and dedication; I am fortunate to have worked with him. With hope that PEACE wraps you in smiling warm memories.
I am so sorry to hear about Alan. The kindness and hospitality the Mayer family has shown me since Chris and I were in college together has always been one of my fondest memories. Alan's support of me during my career at VA DARS was so appreciated as was his patience with me when I knocked over your mailbox one summer! My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of husband, father, and grandfather. I work with Ellen and I love her dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of sorrow. May the Lord bless you and keep you. Lean on His everlasting arms for constant comfort.
