Al and family,
Sending sincere sympathy wishes to you after hearing of the passing of Aggie. I remember well when Al and Aggie played near my hometown of Parkers Praire, MN
at HiWay Park Ballroom years ago. Especially when they played at my mother’s surprise 60th. You made that night extra special by being there. In the days, weeks, months ahead, may the memories of Aggie comfort you and bring you happiness. And may the support and care of friends let you know just how much you are loved.
