I know you are watching over us Allen - your love is always in my heart. I miss you so much. Sometmes the heartache is overwhelming. Where has the time gone.. 5 years ago was the last time I held you in my arms. We celebrated your life sharing Allen stories and going out to eat Allen food on your birthday and one month later we were again mournng your death with a picnic at your grave. We just want to be as near to you as we can, physically and spiritually. You were the greatest of sons, we miss you so very very muchLove Always, Til we Meet AgainMom
Hey Allen-
It's been awhile, but don't think that I don't think about you each and every day!! I miss you alot and I wish you were here with me right now, but instead I know that you are in Heven watching over me right now!!!
I love you and I will forever.
Bonnie invited me and Jen to her birthday party. I waw many of your friends...they all love and miss you deeply. I see you in each one of them and that is special because I get to see glimpses of you again. Loving you forever.
My brother Allen,
Oh how I wish that I could hear your truck pass by my house one more time. If I could only make you maccaroni and cheese w/out milk of course because Mom never had milk. I know that you are dancing on the streets of heaven Allen! You are an amazing person and always will be. I promise you that I am and will take care of Mom, Dad and my loving sister Jenny. I can't wait to dance w/you in heaven. I will talk to you soon and will always believe you are watching over us. Just as you said before you left, I love you.

Dearest Allen,
Today we celebrate you; your earthly life, the life you gave so others could live and your eternal life. This is the day God held out his hands to you and said "Come unto me for this is the Kingdom of Heaven". He saw your love kindness and integrity and gave to you his helping hand.
As I approached your graveside today I saw a huge heart, made of helicopter seeds,placed around your marker. It was so beautiful, the heavenly energy, seemingly putting in motion the love between you and us and your friends.
Every year, is one year closer, every month is one month closer, every day is one more day closer to the time when we will again reunite and can hold you in our arms and give you a kiss.
Your memory is held is all your friends hearts. I love running into them and sometimes I even go to Chan looking for them. And when I find someone I always get a big hug and a remembrance of your love
for your friends, and theirs for you.
Jimmy, your kidney/pancreas recipient emailed today. He and his family were thinking about you.
Your recipients give you 5 more life journeys to be apart of. Incredible, isn't it. I know there are 5 people here on earth giving you hugs 24/7
Your presence is with us often and it is so very welcomed. It keeps us moving forward knowing you are still walking with us.
Jenny, Chrsiti, Cassie, Lauren, Dad and Me all send our LOVE.
Loving you forever and evermore.
MOM
My Dearest Allen,
I can hardly believe that 3 years has gone by. It just seems like yesterday when I was hugging you, who towered over me by many inches. Not to mention when you were playing horsie with Cassie and Lauren. I look at those pictures and it all makes me smile. On my fridge, I still have the picture of you and the girls when we bought a Christmas tree from you. Those and many more memories I still hold close to me in my head, but most of all in my heart.
You are the best brother I could have asked for. You have and still make me very proud to be your sister. I can't begin to tell you how many lives that you have and continue to touch. I hope that people will say and care the same about me as everyone still cares and loves you.
Occasionally, I will run into your friends. They always have a smile on their face and greet all of us with open arms. They still care about you and who are as a person. They are and will always be your friends for life.
Mom, Dad, Jen and I are still can't believe that you are gone. We always talk about you as if you were still here. We have holiday celebrations and toast you. We even have some of the food you would want at the holiday dinners. We still celebrate your birthday and go to visit you. The girls' and I will go to visit you and bring your favorite: McDonald's with 2 double cheeseburgers, large frie, and the orange pop...it is tradition. And then there is Christmas...we all still get presents from you. And, they are the best presents that any one of us receives, by far.
I have a picture of you on my desk at work. Everytime I sit at the computer I look at you and your smile. It always makes me smile, even if I don't want to. You have always had that magic about you.
I want to thank you for all that you have shown me over the years, then and now. I have learned alot about you and myself through you. I know that it will continue into the future, as it already has.
I want you to know just how much the girls' and myself really miss and dearly love you. Words cannot explain that feeling to extent of how deep it really all is.
I love you Boo Boo very very very much. You are the BEST!
Love,
Christi
P.S. Thanks for allowing me to continue to smell the flowers!
