Allen Family, I am so saddened by your loss. By our luck we rented a house from your Dad and Mom and our only son together was brought to the. House on the hill for his first home. They had to wait on their rent more times than one. They never complained and were kind beyond belief. There are special places for those of this earth in heaven. For compassionate and caring folks. To his memory I salute him as a person, to the family my heart prays and feels your loss.

I genuinely enjoyed working with Mr. Allen. He was always through, helpful, professional and naturally arrived timely at work regardless of road conditions. Lynn was a listener and shared insights of business, farming and family with me.
