Cindy,
I am just seeing this on the website and cannot tell you how sorry I am to read about Allen. My heart hurts for you and there are no words to express my sadness. I will keep you, Dawn and family in my thoughts and prayers. God bless all of you during this difficult time.
Love, Alane ("Michelle") K.

Uncle Allen,
I remember stories that Grandma and Mom told me about your childhood. I remember playing in the swimming pool with you when I was a little girl. I remember you teaching me how to spit watermelon seeds. I remember how much it meant to Matt and I for you and Aunt Cindy to always think about Reece. Whether it was a card for Valentine's Day or a racetrack to play with after a week spent in the hospital, you always were thinking about Reece. Most of all, I remember how much you have always loved Aunt Cindy. You loved Aunt Cindy, Dawn, Danni and Delaney with your whole heart. I hope they can find some comfort and peace in the days ahead. I know they all miss you terribly, as does our family. And eventually, I hope that they'll be able to smile instead of ache as they remember how they were your world. I love you and I'll miss you! Your niece and Goddaughter,
