I am sorry for your loss. Alvin was a good man. He always was kind to me.
My deepest sympathy to the Jacobsen family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I'm out at Heather's so won't make it to visitation. I'll have a big hug for you Karen next time I see you. Thinking of you all and wishing you strength in the days ahead.
Sorry for the loss of your Father.
Alvin your presence and warmth will certainly be missed. My sincerest condolences to Gladys, your sons and daughter and many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
My mom, Jeanne Crow, chose well when she asked Alvin and Gladys to be my godparents so many years ago. I have memories of when I was a young boy of running at Alvin's farm North of Goose Lake, and of course there was always the gift waiting for me under the Christmas tree in the Church basement.
Growing up I was lucky to get to see Alvin every Sunday in church, where he always said hi - mostly with a wink, smile and wave from across the pews.
That carried into adulthood when I would return to Ascension with my wife, Heidi, and then over time with my own children, Abby, Ellie and Hayden - where there was always the hi - with a wink, smile and a wave from across the pews.
Alvin - thank you for everything through the years. I will always remember you.
With the news of this loss our condolences go out to Gladys and the entire family, and our thoughts are with all of you. Alvin was by all measures a good man, and I am proud to have known him. By now I'm certain he has received a warm welcome in heaven from my mother Gertrude and the rest of the family.
Our sincere sympathy to all the family of Alvin. May your special memories of him help you through this difficult time. God's love to you all,
