Uncle Allen,
I never got to say I Love You one last time, but I hope you know that I will always Love you. You were always there when I needed you and I do regret not going to see you. I had planned on going that Saturday when I got the call, we all get too busy in our lives and forget about the things we should not put off untill tommorrow. You never know when your last word will be to the ones you love. I hope you know I was always thinking about you and will always have you in my heart along with all the other loved ones I have lost in my life. I will truly miss you, I know that you are at peace and free from the life of your Lazyboy.

LOVE YOU,

Heidi Daroca

From all the T Bordelons,

You will be remembered, expecially when we hear anything about the Saints, or Paula, or Matt, or Mike, or Stacey, or mostly anything about the family. You were and are loved by your family.
