Dawn (Sissy), Sydney, Charles,Sarah, Cynthia (Duda), You all are in my thoughts and prayers ... I'm in shock and disbelief that Allen has passed. He as Sydney said was not Perfect,but perfect to her,and all of us . He was a sweet, thoughtful young man when I met him more than 40 years ago . I can't remember any of my early adult life without him in it . Since our Pawpaw Glover's passing in 2000 and our mom Judy Simms in 2001 our family was lost into the heavens as most do when the leader passes and we all went to our separate lives only connecting briefly at weddings, funerals, etc.sadly.My wish for us is with Allen's passing that the bond we used to have can somehow be restored to what is was . This hit me harder than I thought it would,he was truly like a brother,not a brother in law and another part of my heart went to heaven with him . Rest easy Al on that Mountain til we all see you once again

Love you all bunches,
Donna Phillips
