Janet and Bobby, I cannot express how sorry I truly am for your loss. Allen will always be remembered. There are no words of comfort when you lose a child. I can only let you know that if you need to talk, I am here for you both. I love you both and I loved Allen.
Jesus. I ask you to lay your comforting arms around the family. Give them comfort and peace. Help them through the coming days as they grieve for Allen but let them bask in the knowledge that he is with you and in no pain. Let them feel the love from not only you but from the many family and friends that love them and loved Allen.
In Jesus name I pray, AMEN
