I will always be thankful for Paul Allen. His works helped a lot of us through college and university, that we may serve the public. I am so sorry for your loss. His technology made a big difference in the classrooms of America. We are praying God comforts you and your family during this hard time.
We lost our Dad a few years ago, But it will get better later on. He's watching over you. He's praying for you on your behalf. You will get and learn wonderful abilities you didn't have before. The devil came to attack, kill, and destroy but God sent His Son Jesus that we might have life and have it abundantly. Take heart you are loved. I miss Dad but I know he's looking out for me. With Love, The Robidoux Family (I Love Microsoft - they teach morality, generosity, compassion and have done so many good things. They enable the public to do good things.) I wanted to say this before going on my breather machine.
