Dearest Sherry and family,
I am so saddened by the passing of Allen. He was a wonderful person, and I am blessed to have known him and your family. May the hands of God hold each of you close in this time of sorrow.

Sherry, Keith and (angus) I am so shocked and so sorry. Allen was a great person and will be missed. No matter how far you are away from people you know you never forget the times you had with them.
Larena says
Sorry for your loss. The Bible gives us solid encouragement as to the prospect of life. It tells us that death will be done away with and those who have died will live again. (1corinthians 15:26, John 5:28,29). GOD almighty also speaks of a time that we can live as long as a tree does and even the animals will be at peace with one another (Isaiah 65:21-25). These are promises that GOD made to humankind and all that he promise always comes true. I hope that theses words bring you solace and emotional support as you reflect on the fond memories of William Allen.

Sorry to hear about my cousin Allen. We are the same age but I had not seen him since we were little boys and he lived in Rome, Ga. in his grand dad’s house. Cousin Sandra informed me of his passing. So sorry for your loss.
