My 29-year old brother, Genehun, passed away January 2010 so no words can describe the sorrow that one feels for a family member nor provide any comfort with words. Please know that we have you (Allen) and your family in our thoughts and prayers. We are blessed to have the opportunity to spend the times and have the memories of our loved ones!

In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing. Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.
Words cannot even begin to express our sorrow for you and your family, you are all in our prayers.

Love,
Lauren and Devin Phillips
