Dear Chip, we all think of you so often....dear friend! All the time, but especially this week. It's always a very hard week for you precious family. You were the laughter and the light in every room you entered...we are reminded of that soooo often. I had the most incredible experience last week. I was on my bed folding clothes watching the TCU vs UT football game. It was a crisp day so I had my balcony doors wide open. There was a big play and we were yelling and cheering. All of a sudden a monarch butterfly flew in my room and circled my pile of clean clothes. After about 30 seconds it flew very deliberately over to my purple sheet in the pile and landed right in the middle of it!!! I felt you there and I swear I smelled your cologne!! It brought me to tears. Thank you for those moments...I've had several and they are such gifts!!! And YES...we beat the Longhorns!!!!! I've had the joy of getting very close to your family and you were right...you DO have the best family in the world!!!! Your parents made a post showing your cassette collection. Can you imagine the memories that brought back!!!! We had sooo much fun to those songs!!! I'm so happy that I saw you and talked with you so often the last few months you were here. It was a gift to me! Save us a place in Heaven for one day we will have a giant reunion. I love you❤

Thinking of you today, my friend. I so wish you were here, not just for the laughs, but so that you could see how wonderfully life has turned out. You've got a niece who's learning to drive in your old pickup truck (but you already knew that) and a nephew who looks so much like you it takes our breath away. We all miss you and think of you everyday.

Chip, missing you so much. I continue to find comfort when I daydream. My favorite dream is when we are all together celebrating something. The celebration not beginning until you arrive. You will be coming over straight from work. You walk in with your quick step and that wide genuine smile. Everyone is here. We are together. All is good now. We will celebrate. We move to the kitchen. Laughter, cooking, teasing, touching, happiness, and feeling safe. The best of times. You are with me forever and ever. Love you, Amy

Sorry that it took me 10 years to find that this book is still up. Chip was my best childhood friend and the best man at my wedding. Van, Craig and I put about a million miles on that old, white Jeep with "the Bip" as chauffer, DJ and master of ceremonies. Chip had the coolest parents, the prettiest sisters and Schotzie the wonder dog. The soundtrack of our life was laughter and cheers. The best of times. Dr. and Mrs. Allen, thank you for giving us Chip and so many happy days.
Chip, my brother, I'll miss you til I see you again.

This is it! Would have been your 49th birthday...received several emails from your friends today.It has been 9 years and 3 months since you left this world.I can still remember all your birthday parties when you were home....you had such a fun group of neighborhood and school friends...we always had a houseful of kids!!! WONDERFUL MEMORIES.I received the sweetest note from Paul Golden yesterday....today we saw Anthony Bova...such a good loyal friend of yours..he was at a school competition Ben was involved in...we loved talking to him. I told him that today was your birthday.Van wrote a sweet note too...I can't believe Blakley is married.We were so sorry that we were unable to attend her wedding in Austin.
It is becoming more dim ...the memory of you bursting through the front door and saying,,Hi mom....but the feeling of how much I love you is even stronger than ever.As I age I know the time is closer and closer as to when I will be with you again.
Happy Birthday, Chip...my first born and light of my life. Mom

It has been 8 years,3 months and 23 days since you left.There have been many times these past years I have felt your presence and have been comforted...am thankful for those times.I know you were with Nanny and Potsy to be with Kenny when he joined you eight days ago.I will love you forever precious son.

Today is your birthday...forty four years ago we were blessed with the gift of our first born and our only son . Dad was so proud....he was a third year med. student at the time ....we had many friends expecting the same time we were,and you were the only son born among all of those friends/fraternity bros. during that time. Dad was "popping his buttons"!!!! We adored you,Chip, as did your Grandparents. You were a precious little boy if I do say so. You grew into manhood very close to us and you were Dad's partner in almost everything he did. Your sisters loved you so much and always looked up to you. We miss you so and are trying very hard to make it without your physical presence.....I know that you know we feel you with us....so many things have happened since you left that have given us confidence that you are right next to us. you have been with me during the anxious moments of my recent illness. I have my strenth because of you and the way I witnessed you coping and fighting your battle. I love you,son and look forward to being with you again. Mom

Hey Brother
Merry Christmas. It is chilly outside. Getting presents packed up and heading to Jennifers. Kids are excited and begging to open just a couple presents before church... pretty funny.
Oh how i wish we could have you here...watching you walk through the door.
I feel you... giving mom and me your comfort, love, and strenth. We all are in this together and peacefully finding our way.
I just can't wait to be with you again. I love you and I am so thankful for you. Love, Amy

All is well now with her and we are so happy about that. Storey and Charlie...of course Amy and Jen talk about you so often.You will always be with us...every day and in everything we do.We miss you so at Christmas...you just loved all holidays and made them even more special for your family.Dad and I feel your love with us.

Chip
You are so loved. I will have you with me forever.
Mom and Dad were over for Storey's birthday this past weekend. We had such a wonderful time. We talked about you and your genuine kindness toward people. At your funeral, many of your friends told me what a kind person you were. It's what is still most said about you. What an example you were and continue to be.
Lately, I have really been missing your humor. You would say and make funny comments about the most random things. You were very funny.
Charlie came running in from outside this past Sunday, yelling...A BUTTERFLY LANDED ON JAKES HEAD!!!!!!! A BUTTERFLY IS SITTING ON JAKES HEAD!!!! We all stopped what we were doing and laughed.
Know how much we all miss you and how loved you are. Amy

It's hard to believe it has been three years since Chip passed. In some respects it seems like just yesterday that he was here.....
I had an opportunity two weeks ago to catch my limit on Redfish and some great Speckled Trout.....I'm sure Chip would have loved it! I spent the trip with a great friend who's son is going through Cancer and treatment. It amazes me how the human spirit continues to perservere and the courage that oridinary people can muster at the most difficult times. I know Chip had this asset and I was constantly amazed at how he "pressed on" through adversity and setbacks.
As I continue with my life journey, it's great to know that we have a special Angel in Chip looking over us. I hope I can show the courage and positive "can do" attitude that Chip always had when I am faced with my challenges in life.

Been thinking about you. You would love the cool weather today. I laughed and you would have too at the dogs getting their feet wet and then running around like crazy!
I love you. You were the best brother I could have ever had. You are with me always and forever.
Would love a chance to hear your thoughts and feelings about things. Three years is a long time and many things have changed but love and security of family stays constant. Thank you for your love and security. I feel so fortunate to have it. Forever, Amy

Dear Chip
Been thinking about you. It is summer and we have been spending a lot of time in Galveston. It is a very peaceful and happy place to be. Everyone seems to be comforted by your spirit when they are there. I remember how much time you would spend alone standing on the deck looking out into the bay, or on the beach looking into the ocean,shelling on the beach or watching the birds in the sky. You would do this for quite a while.I never quite understood. Why is he out there by himself? What were you thinking? What were you looking at so peacefully? I think I am starting to understand just a little. Thank you.
Mom is doing a little better. Things will never be the same and we have had our struggles but you would be proud how our family has stayed solid strong and intact. You would have expected that.
I am wanting so much to see you and hear your voice. It is still so so sad.
I miss you but am so thankful that I got to have you for a while. Love forever, Amy

Chip, its almost dove season, and I found myself thinking of you. I wish to express my true regret for not keeping up with my TCU buddy as well as I should have. I did see you at MD Anderson while I was visiting my father in law. That was a blessing for me to be able to see you. You have taught me to never take life for granted. Now that I am a parent of two beautiful children, I cant help but think of the unmeasurable pain I would feel if they became ill. Your parents were/are unbelievably strong to have gone through your battle w/you. You were strong and had great dignity when I saw you. You were taken from us way to early old friend, and you will live forever in my mind as a good friend that I should have called more often. Thats a mistake I cant fix. For that, I am truely sorry. On a lighter note, when you see me out hunting, direct some birds my way old friend. P.S. Is there a bag limit in heaven?

Yesterday we celebrated Baby Addy's first birthday. I miss you all the time, but it really hits me at the kids' birthday parties. It was always more fun when you were there and you had such an amazing ability to pick their absolute favorite gift. You really knew people, especially kids. I always admired that about you. Keep watching over all of us...it helps us all when we can feel your presence.
Love and miss you so.

Chip- I miss you very much. There is only four days of school left. Yahoo!!! This summer I'm going to Florida and Maine and I will really miss you on those trips. I will not see you at those trips, but your presence will still be with me. Even though your presence will be forever and always be with me I will still always miss you here on earth. The family isn't the same without you and it will never be. All your possesions that have been given to me do cheer me up at times though. You will and will always be the uncle I will always love.

I've been thinking about you so much . I really wish you were at your apartment tonight and that we could talk about what we are going to do for mothers day. I really loved when we did that. It was always so fun planning the holidays with you.....we would both get so excited. Our main focus though would be on the menu. Should we do the usual steaks/potatoes? or should we try something different...nah, we never did.
I can picture you coming through the door with your quick step and smiling... the kids running and yelling to greet you. You were so loved. When you arrived everything seemed to begin. Everyone was here.
I miss us in the kitchen working together. You would say the funniest things...and thump me on the head too hard. We had so much fun....music loud and wine poured...we really had so many great, great, easy times. I am thankful.
I find comfort in knowing that we will be together again. I miss you terribly, and it is still so hard. I wish I felt your presence more often. I really want that.
Forever, Amy
p.s. tell Taylor we loved her.

Chip,
It's hard to believe you've been gone 1 year today. I've thought alot about the good times we'd had and the tough times you went through. We all miss you. We always say Hi as we pass the cemetery. Angela always as if you were standing right in front of her, and Conner usually more to himself. I guess you know I'm suppose to take your Dad and little Charlie hunting on opening weekend. I sure hope things go well. I understand little C is really excited. I'll teach him some things, as will your Dad and the other guys, but man I wish you could be there. Opening day means alot more to me now than it used to, as you left us on Opening Day last year. Look over us. We'll be thinking about you.
Love,
Larry, Lisa, Conner and Angela Hinson

Chip,
I'm thinking of you so much today...and every day this past year. Most of the time it still doesn't even seem real. I miss you so much. Ben is getting so big and could really use some Uncle Chip teasing. You know we have a sweet new baby girl...I have a feeling you had a hand in picking her out. She is perfect...thank you. The other day Mom found one of your baby pictures and Addy has the same fat cheeks you did. Chip, I miss you so much as my big brother, but most of all, I miss my kids having an Uncle Chip. No one will ever fill your shoes...you were one of a kind.
I love you,

Chip's memory is kept alive in so many ways. My children, Max and Jake 5, and Sofie 2(who actually never met him) talk about Mr. Chip all the time. They know he drove a jeep, loved to fish, and that there were butterflies at his funeral. Whenever they hear of or see a jeep, fishing or a butterfly they make some wonderful comment about Mr.Chip being in heaven protecting us. We all miss him so much and can't understand why he had to go, but for many of us it has taught us to cherish all of the blessings in our lives every second of every day and for that I'm grateful.

Dear Chip,
I thought about you the other day. I was scrolling through my cell phone "phone book" and came across Chip (home),Chip (work) and Chip (cell). I thought about dialing you on your cell just see what would happen....wouldn't it be neat if you answered. We talked so much after your diagnosis and years of struggle with your cancer. I hope you are well and not in pain. Things are going OK in this world....a bit hectic at times but we're "making do". Please watch over us all....
Your pal,
Mike

Chippy
I miss you so much. I want to pick up the phone and call you badly. Charlie picked a branch off of our pine tree today, and was amazed at the tiny little pine cones. (we agreed that you would have loved this). Storey sleeps with the rabbit you gave her for her first Easter and is comforted by your letters and photos. She tells me how much she misses your kisses and smell. Everytime Jakey sees a butterfly he says...Chip. We are all still confused and empty. But now when I think of you I dont see a sick face, i see my healthy goodlooking brother looking back at me with that sweet grin so genuinely happy to see us. Oneday, we will be laughing together again! I'm not as afraid now. Your sister, amy (amster)

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Allen,
It truly saddens me to hear about Chip. I was a pledge brother of his at TCU and we worked together at Harold's. He was always one of the most positive and fun people to be around. While I hadn't talked to Chip since TCU days, he was one of my fraternity brothers I wanted to get in touch with to see what he was up to. I now regret I didn't. My prayers are with you and your family. Chip will be missed.

Dear Mrs. and Mrs. Allen,
I am a Fraternity brother of Chips and I just learned the very sad news of Chips death. I am sorry for your great loss. Chip was truly a great person and friend. His energy level and positive outlook was contagious to everyone who knew him. His smiling face is forever etched in my mind. The world, no doubt, is a better place today because of Chip Allen. Thank you for your gift .

I first met Chip in the Spencer Marburger store. Right away I noticed his fine character. I saw that he possessed the class and manner that most men strive to master but to him came naturally. My fishing and hunting trips with him were too few but the quality of his friendship always made the day even when the birds didn’t fly. His assistance with my Bay Dog hunting and fishing book helped me more than I ever told him but he expected no “thank you” for this was how he was. I could always count on him. My son, daughter, and wife were always glad to see him, as he was always exuberant to see them. One precious day of fishing with my father was saved with Chip’s help. Instead of going to the emergency room we went to the Seabrook Marburger’s store where Chip assisted removing the fishhook from my father’s hand. We were fishing again within the hour. The past few years were busy with my family so I didn’t get to see Chip much. I knew that we could pick up right where we left off. I felt assured that there would be many more trips afield to come and I believe that this is still true. It saddens me that so much is taken for granted. My family’s prayers go out to all of his friends and especially his family: Dr. Allen, Mrs. Allen, Amy, Jennifer, Jean, Matt, Storey, Charlie, Jake, and Benjamin. I’ve not met most of you but by knowing Chip I feel that I know all of you.
May God bless you all, Frank, Judy, Jadie, and Franky Still

I met Chip when I was six years old when his family moved in across the street. I had the opportunity to have so many good times with Chip. Whether it was playing football or baseball in his backyard as a child, hanging out at his house in high school, having a good time at our favorite watering hole at TCU or being the best man at my wedding, if Chip was there, it was always a good time. As a friend, there was no one better than Chip. If you needed something, he was there to help you. As a human being, I never heard him say a bad word or complain about anyone or anything. He was always postive and upbeat. I know that is what others saw in him and that is one of the many reason why he has so many friends. I feel honored to have had the opportunity to know Chip and his family for so many years and so many good times. He will be missed not only by his family, but also his many friends.

Me and my brother Paul had many great times with Chip growing up in Mt. Vernon. We spent a lot of time together in the neighborhood, playing baseball, being mischievous, and just hanging out at the Allen's home down on the corner. He will be sadly missed by all of the Golden family. You are in our prayers.

My family and I were saddened to learn of Chips death. I knew Chip only through my brother Jack, who played alot of ball with this guy when they were young. I did however have Amy as a friend in high school. I can not imagine the pain you are experiencing, but always remember that you have friends that are thinking and praying for you! ~Judy

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord." Isaiah 55:8
In John 14:2 Jesus said "In my Father's House are many mansions...I go to prepare a place for you." Jesus was so excited about all the things He created just for Chip, He couldn't wait a minute longer to show him. Chip's mansion was ready. My prayers are with you and your family.

Our sincerest sympathy goes out to your family, you all will be in our thoughts and prayers. Chip will be missed by many people. I remember the first time I met him; it was for his interview at Marburger’s. Here he is fresh out of college, in slacks and a starched shirt wanting a job selling hunting and fishing gear. The best thing I did in my tenure there was to hire him. I didn’t realize at the time what an asset he would be to the company, nor what a great friend he would become. He truly loved the outdoors and loved people so I don’t think that there could have been a better fit. I’ll cherish the many fond memories of the years we worked together, played together, and most of all the times on the water doing what made us happy… fishing! It is a true honor to have known him. Every trip afield or on the water Chip will be in my thoughts.

Dear Amy, Jean, Dr. & Mrs. Allen, I am so sorry for your loss. I have heard so many incredible things about Chip over the years. And I know that through your constant love and support over the last two and a half years Chip was able to let go of this life to fly free in the next. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My family and I were deeply saddened to hear of your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Although I chiefly knew Chip through my brother Van I would like to share a story that illustrates what a fine and thoughtful character he had. A few years ago we were at a gathering at Van's house that Chip attended. Knowing that my kids would be there along with Van's he brought them all kid's fishing rigs (rods and small tackle boxes) from the store. These were enjoyed for many years and Chip's gesture touched Amy and I.

I'll always be thankful for the way Chip befriended me when I came to TCU. I was new, and the way he opened himself up to me made me feel much more at home. I guess he learned that from his folks, since that's also how I was made to feel the first time I ever visited the Allen home in Pasadena. I'll always treasure the times we spent together and the things I learned from Chip. Maybe most impressive is that although he was what most of us would consider a, "Man's man" with his love of hunting and fishing, that still took a back seat to his desire to be a loving and sensitive big brother, son, and friend. Even though we didn't stay in close touch in recent years, I still consider that I've lost a great friend. This past Saturday, Chip's last day here, was also Opening Day of deer season. I thought of him and wished he could be there as I sat in my stand in the dark Saturday morning. I know I'll always carry his memory with me now, each time I go.
