Condolence: Donna, Ashaki and Akili......I only just now learned about Alvin's death. My sympathy to you all. "Mr. Hall", who became "Alvin" to me at Hemann Park Swimming Pool, confided in me - another cancer-fighter, last summer that he was battling cancer himself. We instantly had a bond with that common fact. I have missed him at the pool this summer and was hoping your family was just traveling somewhere together. This cancer thing is a BEAST, and I hope a cure is found soon!...

Condolence: Life gives you many wonderful life-long friendships, and you will always be mine, Donna. I will always love and admire you. Susie and I send our warmth and strength during this very difficult time.

Condolence: What a lovely obituary; Akili looks so much like Alvin in that photo. All the years I knew you, Donna, I did not know all that about Alvin. I am glad you have many happy memories to cherish. We are thinking of all of you.
