Sue, God bless you and all of Allen's relatives, friends, co-workers and others he touched while here on earth. We know he is now with his Father in Heaven, and those of us who had the pleasure of knowing him will miss him very much. I especially will always remember watching Westerns with him at the Conference Center during his lunch break. I would work there to log onto the WiFi and would have the TV on for company, usually on TV Land for Gunsmoke. He would come in to relax, have lunch, and although we did not speak much but to say "hello", "have a great day", etc., we enjoyed the program. I thanked him once for a great job he was doing at Gulf Highlands, and he just smiled and nodded. What a wonderful, humble, and hard-working man! I hope you will treasure this memory as you think of him during those loving moments.

To Sue and all of the Carter family. I met you in 1999 when I made my first monthly reservation to stay at the Chateau Motel in PCB. I'm am so sorry to hear about Allen's death. I also met him at the Chateau where he and you worked. He was a good worker and he cared about his work and was very friendly to me and all of the guests. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time.
