Allen was my younger brother of which I miss so much. Allen and I had a lifelong love for one another. He was my rock. He and I carried on for the last 20 years the last members of our family. We were close before, but after the loss of our parents and our older brother Michael, we came through the journey out the other end closer than ever. He is now in God's hands and his suffering is over. I want to live my life, honoring him and the rest of my family, they all were precious and waiting for me when I can join them in heaven. Love, Sissy
