My deepest and most sincere condolences to the entire Fonda family. Al was my foul mouthed buddy during the time that I had the pleasure of being one of his nurses. He always made me smile because you never knew what was going to come out of his mouth from one moment to the next. Sandy you were so devoted to Al. You were by his side every minute that you were able to be there. You are an inspiration as a wife and partner. Job well done Sandy. I will never forget any of you. Continue to rest in paradise Al. I hope you have something slick to say when we meet again.
