I have always admired the loving relationship of Mr. and Mrs. Allman. I truly cannot remember a time when I did not see Mr. Cecil smiling when he was along side beautiful wife, Mrs. Frances. Mr. Cecil was always kind and thoughtful to me and my family. I will miss seeing his welcoming smile. I pray that the Lord will be with Mrs. Frances and her loved ones during this very difficult time.

I was so sorry to here that Cecil had passed away. Theron brought his obituary in the Salisbury Post at church this morning. I didn’t even know he had been sick. My prayers and thoughts are with Francis and the family. Please let me know when his memorial is scheduled. May God grant his passing mercies to the family and bless you as you as you cope with the loss of your love one.

To the family,
Losing a loved one in death is never easy. Dealing with the loss is a long-term endeavor. It is very reassuring that our Creator understands our feelings and he is there to assist us to make it through each day. (Psalm 139:1, 2)
We are happy that we can lean upon “the God of all comfort, who comforts us during all our tribulation” so that we can also comfort others. (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4) May he provide you with his peace to guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6, 7)
With sincere sympathy,
Wayne Allen (friend of Baxter Allman)
