Dear Penwell Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all as you struggle through this most difficult time. Our memories of your mother are so precious - we just loved her. As I reflect back, serving with her in the Sun River Valley Ward Primary, many years ago, my thoughts are of love and joy to have known her as I did. She was such a caring person to my dear Mother-in-law, Afton Allen, too.

May the Lords choicest blessings be with you all - and rely on those memories to sustain you.

Tammie, please contact me - I would love to visit with you.

Our love always and forever, Roy & Charlotte Allen
