Dear Arlene,
I will never forget the great times Allen, you and I had. He taught me to ride a motorcycle and you taught me how to shoot moles from a bathroom window. His son Dana lives next door to me and he and his wife Heather are great people. When I look at Dana, it is just like talking to Allen.
Love,
Angie Peoples

Arlene:
Nancy and I wish to express our deepest sympathies to you and your family.
My memories of you and Allan are many, all pleasant. He was one man that required only a hansdshake to seal a deal. He was a true gentleman.
