Dear Lana and family members,
our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
We are with our minds and hearts with you in that sadly moment, you are not alone. Allen will not be forgotten, his smiles, his careness and his love.
Just in this hard moment we will see him laughing and saying:
Hey you all down there, I'm fine, here its so nice and beautiful, I will watch you from here.
Staying together and helping each other is what he wants now from you the family.
Keep care.
Love
Anita, Loreen, Marco

My heart and Prayers go out to Lana and all of the family.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"God say you were getting tired,
and a cure was not meant to be,
so he put his arms around you
and whispered, 'Come to me'.
With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best."
Amen
