Dear Barbara, Norman, Hannah and Emma and of course Mrs. Goodman,

Our thoughts are with you and all your family. I always enjoyed the many conversations with Al at the barn or the shows. He was so proud watching you both ride.

WITH UNCLE ALBERT, AS WITH HIS FAMILY, YOU ALWAYS FELT AT EASE. THE TRUE MEASURE OF "CLASS" IS NOT HOW YOU DRESS OR HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE, BUT HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE. UNCLE ALBERT HAD CLASS. ONE OF THE BEST LINES CAME FROM A CHILDRENS STORY. WHEN THE WIZARD OF OZ GIVES THE TIN MAN HIS HEART HE TELLS HIM THE TRUE MEASURE OF THE HEART IS NOT HOW MUCH YOU LOVE, BUT HOW MUCH YOU ARE LOVED. UNCLE ALBERT IS LOVED AND WILL BE MISSED.
