With Sincere Condolences To The Allender Family,
The death of a loved one is one of the most devastating experiences a human can face. At times, the loss may seem unbearable. Mourn and grieve as you must, and do not be afraid to cry, because crying serve as an emotional release. "For everything there is an appointed time, even...a time to weep." Ecclesiastes 3:1,4. With Peace & Loving-Kindness,
