Dear Ruth, Christine, Cheryl, and family; May the Lord surround you and comfort you with His peace and comfort in this difficult time. I pray that your trust in the Lord will remain firm through the times of questioning and wrestling and may you all find underneath you the arms of God sustaining you and lifting you up. Our prayers and the prayers of our family are with you. Ruth - I remember the rough time Allan had way back, and then the joy of meeting you, and marrying you. And I had the special joy of performing your wedding service. Cheryl and Chris - I remember you in church and in youth group in Colchester with your dad and the Lawtons helping to lead it. Our children remember your dad with many good memories. And I have many fond memories of you all and have thought of you often. Allan was a good man and a fine Christian. Do not let anything cause you to doubt he is now in the Lord's presence and at peace. May God's unsurpassing peace be with you all. Ian McAlpine (and Hilery, Jonathan, Jennifer and Laura)
