Dear Family, It greatly saddens me that Ree Is no longer on this Earth. Her absence in the body, has now allowed her to be in the presense of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. But now "Ree" can keep tabs on Mother Love, my second Mom, Maggie. I Believe that they are very happy & rejoycing & just waiting on us to show at at the BIG Party. I love you all and hope that you know, you have the freedom to contact me anytime. Dusty & Barbara you know we gotta just keep on pushing. The devil has NO POWER in our lives. Still praying for the family. With all my love,

To Peggy and the Allen Family
You took me in and made me a part of your family. My heart is really sad because not only was Ree Ree my new little sister but she was my buddy. Ree was always waiting for me with a smile on Friday evenings for our "Friday Evening Flight". I know one day I will see her again and I will be able to shout out to her "Sister I'm Home" like I did every Friday when I entereded the door. I will miss Ree REE so much.
Love

It saddens me to know that Beree is no longer in the flesh with us. God saw the need and place for another angel, and Beree heard and answered the Master call. I, too will miss her smile and laughter, but I know she is in a better place. Be encourage and know that God has everything in control.

Aunt Ree,

Aunt Spider!
Every time I think of you, not one negative thing comes to mind. I will miss your amazingly contagious bubbly spirit. I loved the way you hollered when you laughed showing all of your beautiful teeth under that red lipstick that you and your sisters love! You knew how to "give the people what they wanted," as Heather would say, and that was a good time! From you and Aunt Peggy wrestling in the yard, or you simply curling up in a chair sleeping like a spider before the party even jumped off right, you kept everyone entertained!
Hollywood, anyone who knew you knows that your amazing spirit can only go one place from here, and that is up.
I love you & I miss you,
Paris

Although you are no longer with us, your stay and journey here on this earth has greatly impacted each one of our lives tremendously. While we all are deeply grieved and saddened by your passing, I am relieved to say that you are now in a better place, where there is no pain or hurt, but a place where your soul can be free. I love you always and forever, your great-nephew, Jamar.

To Anthony Allen & Family: I pray that yall will find comfort in knowing that God is a comforter. Look to the hills from whence cometh your help. May God give yall strength during this difficult time and cry if you must for we know that we are all living this life just to live again. "God called Her Home" Yall little knew that early morning God was going to call her name, In life yall loved her dearly ; in death yall will do the same. It broke yall hearts to lose her , but she did not go alone For part of yall went with her the day God called her home. She left yall beautiful memories, her love is still a guide, And though yall cannot see her she will always be at your side. The Allen Family is broken and nothing seems the same, But as God calls yall one by one, the chain will link again. Love Yall & I'm praying for yall.

Much love,

My Aunt Ree was a vibrant animated soul and a true joy to be around. Though our times together were limited, I am greatful that I got a chance to share a birthday with you before your passing. Your free-spirted approach to every facet of life exemplifies how we all should be in this world, and I will use your example as my guide. Thank you for being you. No other will fill your unique shoes.

Aunt Ree. It saddens me that you are no longer with us in body. It also elates me knowing you will always be with us in spirit. “Spider” the one thing I love about you is you were always the same. You get what you get. And for those who have been blessed to have known you know it is the epitome of greatness. I can honestly say I have NEVER seen you get angry. You have always been someone you can depend on, someone who was never negative and someone who was always smiling and in good spirits. I know you are in a better place now and even though Heather called me and shared a comforting story to confirm it; I still cry and you know I will for years to come. Only because I am selfish and it is hard for me to let go of what you give at every family event. Maybe we can get Aunt Al to take the torch as a stand in. I don’t know; but we shall see how that works out. I thank God for the time he allowed us to have you and I promise that I will emulate some of how you lived to be a better me and I pray that others will do the same. I LOVE YOU AUNTIE!!!! Gretta

To my name sake whom I loved very much. I am so greatful that God allowed me to make you laugh one more time before He called you home, although you aren't here in the flesh you're still here in the spirit and I will still talk and laugh with you just like before and even moreso now because you have gone on to be with our maker and now joy fills your days forever....I wait for that day and when we reunite it will be as it always has Auntie, full with love, laughter and joy....until we meet again I love you, your namesake Beree Allen the second.
