I WILL MISS YOU OLD FRIEND.

I send expressions of sympathy on behalf of our family. Allen went to school with my brother and me. He shared many great times at our home in Blandford. He shared some of them every time I went to the barber shop on Halifax Street. He talked about my parents who are deceased. I will miss these talks. May your family find comfort knowing that God is with you.
