Well, this has been a long couple of weeks. Allen's funeral was Saturday and was a true testimony of a man that lived to serve God and others. I am so thankful he was a part of our life and my Mother's life for 18 years.
More sad news this week. The toxicology reports came back on the lady, Jana, that hit our family. Jana was twice the legal limit at the time of the wreck. What a horrible testimony of what living a selfish, immoral life can do to others - even those you have never met. Not only did she leave her children with no Mother, she took the very best our family had from us. I know our family will grow strong in ways it wouldn't have otherwise, but it is hard for me to imagine what life is going to be like without Mom & Allen with us. They brought such a peace and enjoyment to everyone. We will miss them dearly.
Please pray especially for DeeDee regarding the news that a decision to drive while intoxicated led to our loss. This has touched a very sensitive part of DeeDee's life and she we will struggle with this for some time. Please pray that this tragedy can be used to prevent others that are presently headed down the same path as Jana.
Love to all, Jeff
Mom and Allen

I am so sorry. I did not realize that Allen had passed away. I believe that he is rejoicing with your Mom and the Lord. I continue to pray for you and your family, as well as Jana's family. DDee, My girls are still asking when we can get together again. I told them when life gave us more time. Love you and miss you, Kim Strube
I am so sorry guys that you are having to deal with these things but know that God will always be here for yall no matter what he decides to put us through. I miss yall lots and pray for yall to have the strength that you so deserve.
The strength to resist the night
The strength to endure the day
The strength to keep righteous paths in sight
The strength to take them without delay
The strength to find a purpose in life
The strength to find the truths it brings
The strength to kick away from strife
The strength to stabalize the rock it clings
The strength to light a friend’s day up
The strength to resist wrathful foes
The strength to fill a stranger’s dry cup
The strength to shun sin when it opposed
The strength to feel a injured man’s pain
The strength to hold a reject’s hand
The strength to act against any gain
The strength to love without demand
The strength to understand that our King
Has blessed us with more than we can contain
Therefore regardless what time may bring
The strength will continue to reign
I love yall!
Tiffany
