Liz I did not get a chance to know you and Allen well, but our love for horses allowed us to meet and I do think of you again at this time! Truly hope you are doing well!

Every time I see Eli in an airplane on facebook, it is a fresh reminder to me of Allen. He was a ray of sunshine, and breath of fresh air to anyone who knew him.

I have very fond memories of Allen... as I am sure so many do. I think of him and you (Liz) as a great example of hospitality, grace and faith. It is painful to recall he is gone, but a joy to recall his smile and love for the Lord and for life.

My thoughts and prayers are with you as you celebrate Allen's life and walk through the painful journey of grief. 2 Corinthians 5:8 for we walk by faith, not by sight-- we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

We are stunned at the loss of this dear man. Allen loved his family, and He loved the Lord. I was privileged to know him, and will always remember the great zeal for life that he possessed. He had fun at so many things, and was good at them all. We will miss his forever smiling face at Abundant Grace. Continued prayers for Liz, Whitney, Eli and the entire family.
April 17, 2015
We were so sad to hear of your loss. We pray you will be comforted by the Comforter Himself - knowing that Allen is rejoicing in the presence of his Savior. May the Lord hold all of you close as you walk through this paiful season - knowing He walks with you every step. We will always remember with fondness how much the Tuggle family served us as we moved to Lake City. We will always be grateful for how you opened your home to us and helped us make the move. With prayers and hugs! Steve and Genie Harris

I am so sorry for your loss of Allen, someone I remember as kind, loving, and always smiling - yet believe, as you do,that he is now pain free, dancing and rejoicing at the throne in heaven. May our faithful Father surround you with peace and grace as you walk through this difficult time...
April 17, 2015
Dear Liz and family...we are so very shocked and sorry to hear of Allen's passing.We all led such busy lives raising our children...most of our contact was "over the fence" but a special closeness can be formed from neighbors that can depend on each other over the years. Allen was a very gracious person and it was our pleasure to have known him (and the family) over the past 15 years.) God bless and comfort your family in the difficult days ahead. Love

Dear Liz,
Though I only had the brief opportunity to know you guys, I can truly say that from my first visit with you at Grace Bible Church in Clayton, GA it was obvious that you both were a dear brother and sister in Christ!
I count it an honor and privilege, even though it was brief, to have been influenced and touched by Allen's life.
What a great, and Christ-honoring, obit that you have posted. It truly reflects the believer's heart and focus, even in the time of death and loss.
My prayers are being offered up for all of you at this time.
Were it not for grace!

Liz, Whitney & Eli, my thoughts and prayers are with you. You've been the best of neighbors for over 20 years. Allen mowed my field a few times and wouldn't let me pay him. He was "good people" as my Grandmother would say. Too young to be taken from you. I am truly sorry.

Liz, I have always cherished the memories we have made during the last 30 years. I have drawings of your sweet children.
I do know, from experiences, with two husbands dying, those experiences are priceless. I know the pain of losing the love of your life brings. I am here for you whatever it maybe. I love you! Carolyn Hancock

We were all greatly blessed to have Allen in our lives, our paths would cross often through Roger and for years, knew your families every move, again, through Roger. With the passing of Roger sadly the cord to you and so many was cut, and we got bits and pieces here and there. Two great men now reside in the Saviors presence and for that, in Spirit rejoice, but in flesh grieve for their friendship.

So sorry to learn about Allen's passing. When I think of your family, I think of one of the most wonderful families I have ever known. All of you are beautiful inside and out. When I think of Allen, I immediately can see that wonderful smile he always flashed and I think of what a kind, loving, Godly man he was along with being a wonderful husband and father. I pray God's love and comfort will surround you and the family knowing that he will be waiting for you on that distant shore where we will all meet again, PTL! Jan and Dion

I know Allen is the presence of our Savior. However, my heart aches for the love of his life. About five months ago I saw Allen, we had a long talk. I will miss you Allen. I have been thinking of the times we spent with Allen and Liz. Those were precious memories.
