Dear Brother I treasure the last few months I was able to share with you. I regret the circumstances, but hope I was able to show you how much I love you and how much you meant to me. I wish your suffering was so difficult, but take solace in the fact that at its worst it was not a suffering that was dragged out. You’ll always be in my heart. Baby Boy I love you.
Dear Allen, In the last few months I had an opportunity to know you and learn what a fine man you were. I’m sorry we didn’t get to spend more time together. Love you friend.
I carried you on my hip when you were a baby and when you were 10 years old you carried my daughter. You had an emotionally painful life as a child and a physically painful life when you left us. I will think of you often and try to remember the good times. I am sorry I didn’t do more to help you when you were young. Know I have and will always love you.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Allen’s family, especially to our friend Judy Carroll in the loss of her brother. May God grant all of you peace and comfort at this time. Bill & Kathie Weber
My thoughts and prayers are with my family today! May God’s be with you today and always!
