Sympathy to all the Allen Family. I enjoyed working with Mr. Allen. On the job of Anson County Schools, he always gave a warm welcome along with a smile on his face to students, staff and parents. God rest his soul.

I am Jackie, the oldest Allen sibling. I forgot to sign my name to the memory below. May God bless all of you!

I want to share the last memory I have of my brother with all of you that knew, respected and loved him. At our Moms funeral last April, June arrived and was viewing Mom in her casket. I could tell by his look that he did not recognize her. His eyes were just looking from one person to another. When it was time to seat him, he walked over to me. I heard him say, "That's my Mom." I took his hand and he said, "You are my Mom." We held hands for the remainder of the service and he never said anything to me again. That was truly a blessing from God and I will cherish it forever.

The pink candle represents my daughter, Kathryn who loved her Uncle June and preceded him in death on August 6, 2008.

Jackie,Andre,Kiara I share in your grief:we were like family through the years.You will be missed by all who knew you.Sincere Sympathy to the family.Nancy Clark
