Linda, I’m so sorry to hear about Allen, sorry I couldn’t be there. My prayers are with you and your family and friends. I know it was a tough hard battle watching such a sweet good person go through this . Prayers and hugs for you as you lay his peaceful body to rest now. May God continue to comfort you and his friends and family.
My sincere condolences to Alan’s family. I have known Alan since grade school and we spent many a day playing together in the Edgewood area. He was always a great guy and I’m sure he will be remembered fondly by all who knew him!
My heartfelt condolences to Allen’s family during this difficult time. Death is truly an enemy of us all and I am so very sorry for you and your family. I hope this scripture can bring you some comfort during this time. 1 Corinthians 15:26 “And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.” Your loved one will never have to face the last enemy, death, ever again. In the meantime, his acts of faith live on until he stands up alive and whole in the Paradise. Yes how we long to be reunited forever again.
