  2. Jeff and Tim, I just read about Alfred’s passing. I visited Hot Springs last November and attended church with Aunt Jane and got to see him. He looked really great. My condolences to you and your families. He and your mom were very special to me. I remember the times I would stay with them when I was younger and we visited Bacova. I looked forward to seeing your parents at each of the reunions and had to visit them whenever I was visiting Hot Springs. My prayers are with you. Janice Bogan

He looked really good. I have special memories of staying with your parents when I was small when we visited my grandmother in Bacova. I also made a point of visiting Marie and Alfred every time I visited Hot Springs. They were very special to me.. Love to you all. Jan Bogan
