To Grandma/Granna:

I know things have been difficult for you during this time , but we want you to know that we're here for you always. Allan's passing is both a blessing, yet we can't escape the sadness, we know he is now in a much better place; he's with all those people who love him in heaven too. Granny, Aunt Thelma, Aunt Elizabeth, Lil Sister, Uncle Walter, Uncle Sam, and so on. He exceeded his time by 50 yrs., that's a blessing. He'll forever live on in our hearts and in our memories. Grandma, you're always so strong for us and I've always admired your strengths; I only hope one day I can have that internal strength that you possess. I love you, we all do and no matter what, We'll always be here for you, you can cry it's okay.

Love You Always and Forever,

Joi, Mario, Bry, & Bray

To: Monica,David,Wanda
And the entire "Nixon" family. I had the wonderful pleasure of caring for Allan while working at LCNR. Allan was my favorite resident,and anyone can tell you that. I always inquired of him,when I left. I am so saddened to hear of his passing. I gave him the nickname: "Beep-Beep",because it was something he always said,when he wanted to pass someone in his wheelchair. I did'nt know he was your brother,until I read the obituary. Once again,I'd like to extend my deepest sympathy,and may Allan Rest in Peace,within the arms of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

This is an unfamiliar time for Allan's siblings and his mother. We have never experienced the passing of one of our dear mother's children. My heart is truly saddened. Allan's life was different than most.
God gave him a space all his own. We never got a chance to bond like we would have wanted to. My dear brother, even though I never got a chance to say how much I needed you in my life. Allan, I will miss you. My thoughts will always be with you. No words can express our saddness for each other or our Mother. I can only sum it up by saying, may God continually be with us all. We need him.
