May your soul find peace as your body lies in rest...?
Sorry to see you go so soon.

To Aunt Nora & Diane & Peter:
I love you. I am so sorry for the pain you're feeling. We are unable to make it down for services, but am with you all in my heart.

I will remember Allen as the happy teenager he was. Always smiling and trying to make me and Diane annoyed back at the Metairie Rd. house before I had the kids. Those memories make me smile through the tears and I know you each have countless beautiful memories that will illuminate your heart and keep his memory aglow, always.
Last time I saw Allen was on Linden a few years back. He still had that same big, happy smile I'd remembered from childhood.
