| Posted by: Walker Jones Fri September 14, 2018 | Dear Bekanich Family,
My brother is Kenny Jones and I know that he is very sad about this news. He is holding Alec and you all in thought and prayer. When our mom passed, this poem came to my attention. Hope it brings you comfort. Warm wishes, Walker Jones On The Death Of The Beloved โ John OโDonohue Though we need to weep your loss, You dwell in that safe place in our hearts, Where no storm or night or pain can reach you. Your love was like the dawn Brightening over our lives Awakening beneath the dark A further adventure of color. The sound of your voice Found for us A new music That brightened everything. We look towards each other no longer From the old distance of our names; Now you dwell inside the rhythm of breath, As close to us as we are to ourselves. Though we cannot see you with outward eyes, We know our soulโs gaze is upon your face, Smiling back at us from within everything To which we bring our best refinement. Let us not look for you only in memory, Where we would grow lonely without you. You would want us to find you in presence, Beside us when beauty brightens, When kindness glows And music echoes eternal tones. When orchids brighten the earth, Darkest winter has turned to spring; May this dark grief flower with hope In every heart that loves you. May you continue to inspire us: To enter each day with a generous heart. To serve the call of courage and love Until we see your beautiful face again In that land where there is no more separation, Where all tears will be wiped from our mind, And where we will never lose you again. |

| Posted by: Jack O'Mara Sat September 15, 2018 | Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower, We will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind, In the primal sympathy Which having been must ever be, In the soothing thoughts that spring Out of human suffering, In the faith that looks through death. |
| Posted by: Bob Kochie, Jr. and family Sat September 15, 2018 | We send our love to the family in this difficult time and always. I met Al a very long time ago and lived with him for a short period of time. What I received from Al was laughter and joy. He was my Manny and I was his Hoppy! I will meet you on the other side brother. RIP |

Fare You Well, Alec. River gonna take me, sing me sweet and sleepy Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home It's a far gone lullaby sung many years ago Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come since I first left home Going home, going home By the waterside I will rest my bones Listen to the river sing sweet songs To rock my soul |
