Dear friends, Ann and I are so saddened but his life is now in his eternal home that God prepared for him before he was born. Of all the years we lived next to the MacGills on Meadow court we considered you part of our family and pray God will embrace you all with the arms of Jesus as you grieve, mourn and cry in these hard days ahead even though you celebrate Allyn's, dad's and
grandpa's being called home. God's love is there for you all. Psalm 100:3 says, Know that the Lord is God. He made us and we belong to him; we are his people, the sheep he tends and cares
for. Know that you are loved and consider yourselves hugged. If it wasn't then Ann was in the hospital we would love to be there with you. God's peace. Ann and Ed
