Anita, I am so very sorry for your loss I am Linda and Dale's friend. I used to go with them on your pontoon boat (more years ago than I want to think about) Allen always seem to enjoy seeing us in the water and cooling off even though he couldn't I always admire how well he handled things and you for taking such good care of him I can't imagine how much you will miss him since you spent so much more time together, more than any other couple I missed seeing you at the games

Uncle Allen you were a funny and delightful person to be around.
I loved you and I will miss you very much!
Your generosity and kindness made for some pleasant childhood memories with my father at your home every summer. This was my only time to spend with my father and I can never thank you enough for allowing us into your home. I always wanted to tell you this, but time got away from me.
My thoughts and prayers are with Anita. She is a wonderful woman and you were truly blessed to have such a dedicated spouse.
