Robin , I am so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. You have my deepest sympathy and my prayers go out for you and your family. The last time I saw him I remember he smiled and said something that also put a smile on my face! He was a sweet man …

May you cherish the memories of Allen.
I remember with fondness the time Allen and Barbara went on a trip to Mt. Rushmore with our group. It was such a joy to share time with them on the motor coach and the activities. Many times Allen made us laugh as he shared stores with us.
Thinking of you during this time I know is not easy for all of you.
