Mrs. Beth, I have so many wonderful memories of you and Bro. Al. It meant so much for him to marry Al and I and the whole family was ecstatic when you came to Italy to our church. Bro. Al was one in a million and he touched so many lives. I will have you in my prayers and thoughts. Love from the Herrington Bunch!

Sorry to hear of the loss of Bro. Al. He will always be remembered by his love for kids and "Fluffy". Always enjoyed this when he did it with the children. They were always attentive and he got the message across to them so they could understand.

"Well done, good and faithful servant." is what Bro. Al heard when he woke up "in the Land of Glory". Our loss is Heaven's gain. So thankful to have known him and you, Mrs. Beth. What a blessing you have been to so many of us here in Phillips county.
