We extend to you and your family our deepest sympathy in the recent passing of your husband, father, and grandfather, Alton.
Alton's mother and my mother were sisters and as a child growing up in Pascagoula, MS, I can always remember Alton coming to our home to visit his Aunt Louella. He was very faithful. He always had a smile on his face and he could give you a true "bear hug". I have not seen him in many years, but I will always cherish the wonderful memories. He will be missed.
I would like to leave you with this Old Irish Blessing, Betty: And, until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
With love and sympathy,
Mary Evelyn & Joe Brumfield

Betty,
I heard about Al and was so shocked. He was such a wonderful man, and always greeted me with a big smile, a hug and a kiss. I'm so sorry I wasn't in Brenham to hug you and be there. Please know you are in my prayers.
Love you,
Jackie Bade

Pat and I are so sorry for your loss of this loving family man. Alton and I were 1st cousins and lived far apart in different locations but we never forgot each other. Alton was a wonderful individual that loved all he came in touch with. I never heard him utter a bad word about any one. Alton was a loving, careing individual and will be sadly missed by all that he touched.

My Dear Friend Betty and Family,
I am saddened by the loss of such an amazing man. From the first time I met Al, he was a friend. We had many good times and shared a friendship that rarely comes along. I will miss him and always remember his meals he prepared and gladly shared. The meals he would have prepared with loving hands for us on our return from a trip. I will miss the big hugs and that great smile he always had. I will miss the life he brought to any gathering and the joyous times we all had. Most of all, I will miss my friend.

Betty & Family,
There are no words to express how sad I feel and am truly sorry for your loss. Alton has always been one of my favorite people from our Sunday School Class. I always enjoyed his sense of humor and kindness. We have lost a great treasure. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May God bless you and keep you strong.
