Elizabeth, I am holding you and the family in the Light. I've valued my friendship with you and Allen over the years; support from both of you kept me afloat on many occasions that I nearly drowned in isolation. If I can provide any support, let me know.

Allen was quiet and soft-spoken, a man whose expertise shone through everything he did; it was plain to everyone that he knew what he was talking about, and more. He touched many throughout the world with his calm air of assurance. I'm really proud to have known Allen.
