My sweet friend who with Bobby, opened her heart and home to us,
epitomized the best a friendship has
to offer. Knowing her and claiming her as friend is truly one of my life's
greatest blessings. Love, Pat

Chief Allen and family,

Though we haven't seen each other for years, I have fond memories of Mrs Allen. I know that my mom and sisters will be in contact, but I wanted to ensure that you know that I will be praying for you all in this time of loss.
