Jean & Herb have always been wonderful cousins. I found it wonderful that they maintained their intellectual skills and knowledge up until the time of their deaths. It was always fun to talk to Jean and exchange ideas. We mailed notes to each other every December discussing everything happening in our families. In this way I have been able to keep up with her children and grandchildren. I feel like we have lost another link to the Allen family.
