Somewhere between 700 and 900 people showed up at Carolina Church yesterday. Heard the pastor say "I don't know why things like this happen, But God does and He is in control" and read Romans 8:28. I pray that God will use Kyle's life and passing as a reminder to other young people and that he will not have died in vain....... God be with you Rick, Janet and Ramsey always...

To the entire Allen Family: My brother just called me to let me know of your loss. Your family meant a lot to my family when we were all students at Mt. Pleasant. My sister, brother, and myself will continue to hold you in prayer during this difficult time. Even though I did not know Kyle personally, I feel as if I have some idea of what a truly outstanding son he was just from reading other guest book entries. My heart goes out to you all.

I did not know Kyle but I can tell by how many people in the Western Stanly County area that loved and cared for him that he was a great person. I have heard how he could light up a room whenever he walked in and how he was so nice to everyone he ever met. I am praying for the family during this time...God Bless.
