I'm so sorry for your family's loss. I'm Allen's girlfriend. I would have come to the service..but family obligations kept me in Pittsburgh. I never got to meet Allen's dad, but I felt that I knew him through Allen. I know that he has a great son who I love very much..so he obviously did a good job as a dad. I am deeply sadddened by a great man's loss..especially the one that meant the world to his son, wich means the world to me..sincerely, Leanne

Zelda and family, Im so sorry to hear about Allens passing. I often asked my mom and dad (Ronnie and Lucy) and my grandma (Frances) about how he was doing. I remember awhile back, I had my daughter at the Hanover Hospital and he walked up to me and said hello and asked me how everyone was doing. Allen was a kind, friendly man and will be missed by all who known him. Please know that if any of you need anything at all, to just let us know, we will be here, afterall, we are family. My deepest condolances to you all!



Allen, when I heard the news about your passing yesterday morning, I was deeply saddened. We might not of been immediate family, but we are distant cousins and your loss is definately felt through out. I never knew we had something in common, we shared our birthday. This year, the Yingling family reunion fell on that date and our family sang Happy Birthday to both of us. What a sweet memory I got to share with you. Rest in Peace Allen because I know that we will have the "Yingling Family Reunion" again on the Golden Streets of Heaven... so until then....



God Bless

Dear Sally and family,



You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I am deeply sadened to hear of Allen's passing. Although years may pass without seeing one another, it certainly does not erase any memories. I hold a lot of dear memories of everyone in my heart. Allen was always a quite man and with one comment could be funny. Sometimes he would just be off to the side and start laughing at us girls and shaking his head. May your fond memories and the strength of our Lord Jesus Christ carry you through today, tomorrow and always. Love Christine
