You were more than friend you were my brother. I’ll remember all
The adventures and fun times we had and yes even my busted eye. I will never forget you and I’ll miss you each day bro until we see each other again.
We are so sorry for the loss of your brother. Our prayers are with you & your family; may you all have peace in your hearts at this sad time.
Allan wasn’t just my brother he was my best friend. When we would see each other he would always say you know the best thing about our brother sister relationship is that no matter how far between the visits are that when we do visit we can always pick up where we left off. This was so true as Allan and I had that kind of a relationship. I miss you so much and I am still trying to wrap my head around all of things that happened in the last six weeks. Allan went so fast and suffered so much pain that all I wanted to do was hold him and hopefully relieve some of the pain. I don’t understand all of this. Allan should still be here and he’s not. Someday we will be together again and yes Allan and I will pick up where we left off on Monday, March 14, 2016.
