Alan and I were part of a group of young, carefree friends during our teen years and early twenties. We shared laughter, adventures and questions about what it would be like to become true adults. Many, many happy memories! Once, during a group beach trip, Alan and I missed our ride at Myrtle Beach. So, we had to walk all the way back to Crescent Beach, along the ocean. It took us all day and we both suffered sunburned lips, that swoll up! We laughed at each other for days. 
   A few years later, we lost touch, but Alan found my husband and I and invited us to drive over to his house to meet his new wife to be. He was excited to plan his wedding. 
    Then, more than 35 years later.....Alan showed up at my oldest son's wake. He was there for me when my 32 year old son died suddenly. He stayed for a few days and checked in with me, took me to the park and to dinner. He gave me a shoulder to cry on and a listening ear. I was so touched. He called from time to time to see how I was doing.       I think friendship ran deep in Alan.  His heart was bigger than we knew. And his dedication to care for family and friends was very very important to him
      Thank you, Alan, for being you: One of a kind! 💜
