On behalf of the Society of Air Force Nurses, please know we are mourning with you the death of our sister nurse, 2/Lt Theresa Allen. It takes a patriot, willing to give of themselves to other human beings in their time of need, to step forth and join the ranks of our U. S. Army Air Force Nurse Corps. Your beloved one will be mourned and missed by many who served alongside her. We will include her name in our Memorial Program of the Society of Air Force Nurses in commemoration of her life and service to our nation.
With Sincerest Regards and Gratitude,
Wendy S. Collins, Lt Col, USAF, Nurse Corps (Retired)

To The Allen Family,
I am sorry to hear of your loss of your mother. I am a distant cousin of her husband Charles "Red". My great grandfather was his uncle Lawrence Allen. I was planning on writing Theresa a note to ask for family information since I am doing a Allen family tree. If any of you would like to contact me my email is included.
