Aunt Agnes, Shirene, Jeffery and all extended family members....my prayers are with you, but more importantly, God is with you and will not leave your side as HE takes Uncle Allen to a Blessed eternity of rewards. Memories of Uncle Allen reflect a quiet, respectful, peaceful, and loving man whose eyes were kind and gentle. He never spoke a harsh word in my presence and his smile was always warm and catching. When he smiled, I smiled! One may not expect this displayed demeanor from military personnel, but Uncle Allen didn't let the world get in him. He made the world love him just with his presence. I am blessed to have known such a meek spirit. I see his essence in you...the smiles, the dedication, expressions of love and taking care of one another. His laughter still resonates in my mind and always will. Love you all. God bless!
