I am writing again to let Allen's side of the family know I feel for all his loved ones. He was a good son, and Christie was a good daughter-in-law. His siblings kept abreast of each other's happenings which included many fun trips.
Lizzie, Macey and Avery, my prayers are with you. You are a brave, strong family and Allen loved you so much.

I am so sorry to hear about Allen and feel so bad for the Romney sisters and their entire families who have suffered through some life changing challenges in a very short time.
I met Allen when we were in our twenties and I was so impressed with all his knowledge and his love for the outdoors; climbing the mountain, hiking the desserts, running the rivers, and catching fish on the fly with Chris and his friends.
Writing this makes me realize that he had a great life, well lived and I will really miss him. Love, Lauri Kelley
