Message: We are honored to provide this Book of Memories to the family.

Message: Happy Birthday, son! You always said just light a candle for me. Well, just look on down from heaven and you will see a candle in the window. In memory of your birthday and to tell you I think of you so very often. I love you - say hello to everyone in heaven and tell them I think of them too. Happy Birthday! Love you always will.

Message: How I miss you, can never be explained. I sit here and the tear flow freely. Silently, alone I grieve. I should be happy you're with Jesus in heaven but I miss you so... some days more then other the loneliness and grief enter my very soul. I know we will meet again - God promised until then your memories are all I have. Say hello to everyone and let them know they are thought of and loved also.

Message: It's been so long since I written in this living memorial for you. Believe me though you have never been far from my thoughts. It's funny how life gets in the way. So many things have happened since you took Jesus hand and went away. I miss you and everyone who has gone before. I think about you everyday. Know you will never be forgotten. Love and miss you so very much!

Message: How I miss you today more than any other, if that's possible. The day Jesus came and took you home to heaven. I know you're with Pa and Gram and Nana, but I still wonder if there was anything I could have done to prevent it. I know God has His plan and we must accept it - maybe someday I will know the reason. I do know in my heart someday we will be together again. Until then know how much I love and miss you.

Message: Merry Christmas son! Did you see the candle I lit in the window in remembrance of all my loved ones in heaven? There were flowers on the alter for you, Pa and Gram, and Nana and Omar. I know it must be wonderful in heaven especially at this time of year. I miss you so very much. Tell everyone I love and miss them too.

Message: Another Christmas without you. Waking up another day only to again face the reality once again that you are gone Remembering that Christmas was the last holiday we spent together. My world my life without you here is a sadder much less colorful one. That is a cold hard fact I wake to each morning. Allen if you but only knew the depth of my sorrow and pain .The loss of you has changed me in so many ways and a hollow endless sorrow has entered into my mind and heart. I can't forget you nor would I want to. Not a single day goes by without thoughts of you. So many memories how could I not think of you.The world seams a darker place without you here to color the darkness that would consume my very soul. I awake each day with the hope that it is all just a horrible mistake a nightmare that I will wake from and ypu will be here but every day I face the reality once again that you are gone and.it is not easy to handle the pain I feel it cuts like a knife. Rest peacefully Allen knowing that until my very heart stops beating and I draw my last breath you will not be forgotten. Till we meet again on the sunny shores of paradise know you sre on my mind T

Message: Well Allen another Thanksgiving is here and as usual I thinking of you. I remember all the family gathered round the dining room table, smiling, joking, giving thanks. This year there is no family just me and your dad - Tina, Kim, little Dennis - maybe Joey are probably eating out - they can't come here because of little Dennis' fear of animals. Dennis and Tina are separated - he has the house and she's living in a motel. It tears me up holidays are family times and it all gone. Tell everyone in heaven I love and miss them, especially you my son. Wish them all a Happy Thanksgiving! Love and miss you more then you know.

Message: Missing you more than you know, I love you.

Message: Today we had flowers on the alter for your birthday. God smiled and it's a glorious fall day, Indian Summer actually. I remember the times when we raked all the leaves and jumped in them. Tossing them at each other. I love and miss you so very much. If you look down from heaven tonight you will see a candle lit in the window and know you are remembered. Not as fancy as last year - no fireworks and Chinese lantern only our love and a candle in the window. Love you and Happy Birthday!!!!

Message: Still think and speak of you often. Yesterday brought memories of how patient you were with me as i told a friend how i would in vain when angry at you try and beat you up and you would hold me at bay with but one hand as i tried in frustration get my hands on you to the sound of Pa yelling don't you hit your sister don't you dare hit her . You never did it was always the same ending you sitting on top of me asking me if i was gonna quit it.I of course agreeing only to be released to try attaching you again with the same pa in the back-round "Don't you hit your sister don't you dare". They laughed and asked if Pa ever told me not to hit you . I explained Pa believed in the old fashioned he's a Man thinking (he certainly could handle a few whacks from a girl) but to lose you temper and raise your hand to a girl no matter the reason made you less then a man and would define the very person you were. I can say without a dough you were truly a man in every sense of the word. Words alone could never express the dept of sorrow i feel without you here. I even miss you in my dreams as you used to visit me in I happily think that means you are content and looking down from a distance. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
