Our hearts and prayers go out to you and the girls, Paul. I know you must go to bed thinking of Allen and wake up thinking of him too and all the time in between. As soon as the pain of loss lessens a little, you'll know that love never allows separation. He'll always be with you in your memories.

I don't know how many times while jason was on homebound school, I would sneak home and find alan,josh, and 3 or 4 other boys in my house cooking breakfast, and watching tv. I remember one time coming home and running them all out of the house, I had blocked alan's car in, he said he couldn't get his car out, and i told him to bring his mom or dad back to get it, I think he just waited for me to go back to work and got it. He was always polite and spoke to to jim and I when ever he was here with with Jason or Josh. my all the prayers from everyone who knew and loved alan help you and your family through this time. you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Allen, I remember the first time I met you and how excited Mary was about you. I did her make up(and you know you have to be special for Mary to wear make up.) I saw how your eyes lit up when you seen her,and hers as well. I know that you are looking down from heaven smiling at all your loved ones. We will see you soon enough. God bless.

I am surprised and saddened by Allen's passing and my prayers go out to Paul and his family and others. You never know what your body is going to do to you and your life is just a vapor in this world . I lost my mom two years ago and it still hurts to lose someone you cherish and love and we all take each other for granted sometimes. Just be ready for God's Heaven and i have assurance from the Holy Bible that we will see our loved ones when we crossover, Dale

Paul,

I know that you know that there is nothing anyone can say or do that will take the pain away, ease the heart ache nor explain why Allen was taken at this time. I along with all of your friends from way back when will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers with the hope that this will in some small way provide a measure of comfort to you.

Paul.....I know there are no words that can bring comfort to you over the loss of Allen. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Rick was probably waiting on him, and who knows what stories he's telling Allen about the old farm days! I love you brother, and if you need me, please let me know. Kelley (Chase) Pickett
