Allen you was like a dad to me growing up, you will be missed dearly. You truly was an amazing man! RIP!
Allen, I hope your soul is free and you are flying high on Angel wings, we had some great times in Rockdale County, especially in the basement of your parents house! Good friends and good times. R.I.P. my friend!
Amy and Jamie…I remember when mom and dad took us to Georgia to visit you all, when you all were living down there. Allen would always buy me any candy or anything I wanted there. He was always such a good Uncle. I want you both to know how sorry I am. I know how hard it is to lose a parent. If either of you need anything at all, please let me know. Sending lots of love your way!!
