Prayers being lifted for comfort and peace. May God’s grace be sufficient for each of you at this time.
Mr. Allen was a good man. Not a man of many words but when he did have something your say …it was intentional . He was a good friend to my daddy Legrand Welch. When I was overwhelmed with responsibility and dad needed to go to Duke Hospital, he quickly offered to take him for me. When he did, it was such a blessing to Daddy. He enjoyed the visit with his buddy. Mrs Runette was a precious woman who loved her family and daughter did it well! I’m thankful to have had a part in this family’s life! May God bless the loved ones he left here and may they find comfort in God and the love that you all share!
