  5. Tamara, I’m so sorry, I know you and your family are heartbroken. People always say when they go they want it to be quick, but when you don’t know it’s coming you don’t get to say those things you want to! You are all in our prayers.

  6. I have known Tena all her life. She was my first niece and granddaughter in the Allen family. We all stood in line to hold her, and even timed to have our turn. I spent a lot of time babysitting with her, Tammy, Tim, and Terry at their home and at Speedway drags. They all kept me thin running after them. She will always have a special place in my heart and be missed. My prayers are with you Tammy, Tim, and family. Love Aunt Connie
