Sending my most sincere sympathies to the family of Alvin and Winnie. Alvin was my Dad's first cousin and he thought a lot of Alvin. They were related through James H. Payne of Damascus and your grandfather, Floyd. My mother, Lula Payne, also sends her sympathies to Winnie and the family.
We will miss him for sure!! He was always telling stories about all of us and mom and dad. He reminds me so much for my dad. Love to all and God be with you. Betty Payne Thomason
