Dear Allen Family,
I want to express the greatest condolences to all of your family. I am a former student of Mr. Allen. I really enjoyed being in his presence because he always gave off a comfortable vibe. I just can't believe that he is now gone and that I had him as a teacher only three years ago! I am so glad to have been your student and also, to have been able to make all of the spelling lesson sheets for him. God bless him and your family. I'll miss you Mr. Allen!
