My husband and I are converts to the Church. In the first few years after our conversion, we heard C.Kay Allen speak at an Edcation Week program. His suggestions for teaching children true principles, and for allowing natural consequences to provide learning experiences have guided our parenting for 30 years. We came from families with one sibling each and went on to parent ten children. Our 27 grandchildren are also beneficiaries of his inspired teaching. We are grateful for his life, and wanted his family to know of his impact on us. Thanks for sharing him. Sally Wyne

Connie, Rolayne,Roger and Paul: Please accept our apologies for not attending your father's funeral. I love you kids and will always remember the great times that we used to have with your family, especially when you all were growing up. I am saddened by Kay's passing even though I know that it was meant to be. With Doyle, Shirly,Alyse and now Kay gone, it is particularily sobering to me. I wish you peace and comfort at this time as I know full well what you are experiencing.

Love,

Uncle Al
