Courtney Michelle Allen was a childhood friend of mine, and was always there for me and with me as we grew older.. tears can not explain how much I miss you. My heart will be with all of the family members on this heartbroken moment. Courtney still has that same beautiful smile as I remember from when she was younger. You will be missed, but never forgotten, and will always be in my mind and heart. I love you courtney, and god bless you. I know that she is looking down to all of us smiling as we remember all of the great memories she has produced for us and with us <3

To Courtneys family, I'm so so so sorry for your loss. When I moved to Millville when I was younger Courtney was the first friend and I made and we were inseparable through elementary school. We used to be partners in crime in our apartment complex and I'll never forget all the sleepovers we had and going to the zoo. I love you and you will be truly missed. Mimi I'm so sorry for your loss and to the rest of her family and friends. Courtney was such a great person and such a great mother.

To the Allen Family, It has been many years that we have connected. I read of the passing of Jimmy's daughter, Courtney and was so saddened by this news. We grew up living near your family and your parents were my cousin Debbie's Godparents when she converted to Catholicism. My deepest thoughts and prayers go out to your family and if there is anything I can do please do not hesitate to call on me. May God bless you. Lovingly Submitted, Wanda (Mayes) Reaves

I keep thinking this can't be true. Not to long ago i seen you while i was working and you was with your son and we were talking about babies. We talked about how fast they grow up but never once thought how short life can be. You was one of my first friends in high school, even though we grew apart, facebook helped us stay connected. My thoughts are with your children and family.
