Allen was a joy that came into my life when I needed a special friend, I always called him my boyfriend, and when Mary came into his life I always reminded him that I was his first girlfriend. He was so full of life and could always make me laugh. He had a way of making you feel better about yourself and always had a smile on his face when he saw me, even near the end of his life. he was worried about me and how my life was going to be. I will miss him dearly, he was a very special person in my life, and I will never forget him. may he rest in peace.
