Dear Katherine and Komar Family,

May the peace and grace of our Lord carry you through these difficult days and somehow lighten your heart in knowing that your father, husband, brother, and family member is at peace without pain or struggle. I will keep you in my prayers, and I genuinely believe that our loved ones never leave us, but rather guide us through our days here on earth before we too join them.
Much love and blessings,

Gloria, we are so sorry for your loss. I was shocked to hear that Al passed away. He was a great friend and neighbor to us. We will keep you in our prayers. If you need anything, please let me know. God bless all of you.
Dear Gloria, Katherine and Andy;
My deepest condolences for your loss. Al was great man who truly lived the Catholic faith in every way, as a man, husband and father. While Masses will be offered for the repose of his soul, I am convinced that there is a Saint Alan in heaven and I will be asking for his prayers and his intercession.
Eternal rest grant until him O’ Lord and may perpetual light shine upon him;
May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.
Love in Christ;
Fr. Joe Brankatelli
