Dear Allen Jr. & Family,
I am so sry for your loss.Mine and my families condolences and prayers are with you all.Just remember that she will always be with you,and you will always have her in your heart.
I sit around and wonder,
and watch the day go by.
I look at all the pictures,
and ask, why did you have to die?

You've always been there for me,
because you were my best friend,
and I was always there for you
until the very end.

So when I have to leave you
at your resting place,
I will always remember
your smiling,face.

This is hardly a goodbye,
so I won't weep anymore,
because now you're in better place
then you ever were before.

Even though I will miss you,
and I'll think about you everyday
you'll always be my best friend,
and that's all I have to say.
R.I.P You are loved my friend!!
