Randy, Mike and family, so sorry to hear this new. My sincere condolences goes out to you. Praying for comfort and peace for all family members. I have fond memories as a young girl, frequently babysitting Allen and Mike.💜
I will miss you Allen. My prayers go out to the family.
Allen and our son, Aaron, went to school together and Allen was, when younger, a total pain in the butte. Our son, of course, was a perfect angel (LMFAO). BUT Allen grew into an upstanding, respectful, responsible adult. We haven’t seen him in a few years but we think about him, kid’s classmates, families and friends and we will miss Allen immensely.
Dear Cousin Randy and family, We are so very sorry for the loss of Allen. We pray for God's comforting arms around you all. Love and prayers, Claudia and Roger
