To my love: I never felt true love until I met you. You made me so complete. I don’t know how I am going to go on without you. I will miss my “good morning beautiful” text in the mornings, the huge hugs you gave me while whispering in my ear “it will be okay baby.” I could go on and on about what i will miss about you. Whoever did this to you they will be caught. The boys were ready to head down and take care of business because you always taught them to take care of each other. they will be caught and I will be at every court date and try to get the max sentencing. I promise you that. I love you so much my husband until we meet again. Love, your wife!

Allen you have always help other with your all heart and soul, not one person did not do with out went you was a round to help them one way or the other, you are the most loving, caring person I have ever meted in this whole word. As I look at your picture with the childrens I know you as a very good father who would not let them do with out your love, understanding them for right or wrong you would be there for them. All you would what out of your life was someone to love and understand you for you. As I see today you as the man you what to be with a loving family as long with a beautiful wife who all love and care for you. I like back and can see you running a cross the fields to catch a white van who hurt Jodi, and you jump in a car widow doing 30 mile down the road to get someone who hurt you family. I will not and well not ever for get what you have done for my family as long your family. I wish you as there so we can talk the good time over and over again. Miss Kid keep the “EIGHT-BALL AL” going. You will be miss by a lot of us all son love mom

It’s been almost three years. October is months away, I know, but I still think about what happened a lot. I wish I had called you when I had the chance. Wish I’d talked to you more.

I wish I had gotten a chance to know you the way the people in your life did… I would have given anything to know the you that they did.

I was going through old pictures from storage the other day, and I finally found it; the picture of you holding me when I was a baby. You looked happy. I like to think you would be happy if you were still here, with the things I’ve learned and done these last few years…

I wish I could call and talk to you and tell you everything that’s changed… and I wish I could hear your voice on the other side of the line, telling me you’re doing okay.

There’s a lot I wish… but more than anything, I wish for your peace.

Thank you, for the short time I got to know you, if even for a little while. Thank you for making peace with me, and giving me a chance to know that you loved me.

I’ll always remember you for that.

Good bye, Dad.
