Condolences

Dear Mrs. August and families,
It is with heartfelt sympathy to hear of Alan's departing this life. Each of you will have special memories you will hold dear , that will sustain you thru the difficult days and months ahead.
I have special memories of my business relationship with him as an appraiser.
He will be greatly missed in the Petersburg area for his many contributions to the community.
We grieve not as those who have no hope. We have HOPE in Yeshua Messiah life's teachings, that you will be reunited again with him.
May G-d's Shalom and love be your source of comfort in the months ahead.

My condolences to the family on your loss. I had the pleasure of serving with Alan on the Swift Creek Mill Theatre Board. He had a passion for theatre that was contagious. It was under his leadership that the Theatre was able to develop and sustain its outstanding volunteer program. As the current Board president, it is my intention to carry on with Alan's legacy. He will be sorely missed.
