Mrs. Cruise,
My name is Shari Hickman. Roni Williams was my mother. I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Cruise. Mom always spoke so highly of the both of you. Your friendship meant the world to her. I pray that they are both at peace and enjoying each others company again. Please know that we are praying for you and our thoughts are with you and your family during this very difficult time.
Rob and Shari Hickman
Dear Joyce,
My sympathy goes out to you and your family at this time of sorrow. You and Al shared a wonderful life together. Remember all the good times you had. Al is at peace now. God's blessings to you!
Love,
Judy Urban
Joyce. So sorry that we were not there when Al passed. It was an extreme shock to hear of his death. We are heading back to Toledo the week of May 19. We will be in contact after we get back to Ohio. Mike Matuszak & Sydney Easton
Al was always there with a smile and readiness to help. He will be missed. May God bless the whole family and comfort you in this time of sorrow. You're in our prayers, Pat and Rosemarie Beyer
Joyce sometimes babysat for my daughter, Lilly, when she was preschool aged. She LOVED going there but especially when Al would play hide'n'seek or tag with her. Lilly was timid around most men, but just loved Al. She was very sad to hear about his passing.
He had such a charm about him that I bet everyone he met was attracted to. He was such smiley, joyful, helpful, and handy man.
He is well missed by all of the Prather's. Much love to the Cruise family for your great loss.
Love,
Holly Prather
