I was saddened to read about Allen's death. I worked as a hygienist for his father when he was a little boy and remember putting molar bands on his finger as a ring! I remember his brother, Richard and remember like it was yesterday when the senior Dr. Sain told me that they were adopting a baby girl and her name was to be Mary Jo. It is hard for me to think that Allen is gone.

I think about you every day. I guess you and Don, Jr. are in Heaven talking Gator Football. You and Don passed away just a month apart. I miss you both very much. I look forward to seeing both of you again someday.

My family and I send our deepest condolences to his family. We have known Allen as patients for over 20 years, when he was working in Wewa then opened his office in Panama City. He always treated us like family and he knew us when he saw us around town. He will be greatly missed, not just as a dentist, but as a friend. The Barnhill/Webb family.

To the best Dentist I have known. He was the best. He always made sure you were not in pain before working on your teeth. He even came in afterhours for a dental problem I had with a broken crown on a front tooth. He will surely be missed. I do not know where to begin looking for a great dentist like DR. Sain. Deepest regards to his office family and his family.

My deepest condolences to the entire Sain family.

There are no words to express that can come close to the sadness and grief I feel. Your husband and father was a great man and I am very thankful to have been his dental patient and friend. I brought my whole family, all six of us. He provided excellent care and having him as our dentist was a privilege. He took very good care of all of my family.

Beyond that I will always remember his dedication to those around him and how he provided for them a better life to live. I am grieving with you. May God be with you.

My prayers for God to strengthen and comfort you, your children and family during this time. Blessings, Marian Jackson

Over the years we remained in touch and I will always treasure our friendship and will miss him. My husband Chuck & I express our deepest sympathy to the entire family.
