Rest in Paradise Uncle Joe. I will never forget the conversations we had regarding life and life's decisions. Had I been a GOOD teenager/young adult I would have followed each word for word. I am grateful for your love and kindness when we chose to learn the lessons the hard way. NOT once did you ever say... "I told you so" you would simply say "Lets go from here." Thank you Uncle Joe for always having a word to encourage and validate me as a woman. You were an encourager and a strong example of what it meant to be the head of the house and a MAN to his family! You loved us ALL flaws and all!
We love you and you will greatly be missed! Muah to you and the angels of heaven.
I can hear my Father in heaven say "Well done, good and faithful servant. Well done!"
Rest in eternal paradise,
Your Niece

Love is pure. Love is sweet. Love is kind. Love is real. That's how You were to me. I light a candle of love God's Agape Love.

God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, "come to me."
You didn't deserve what you went through, So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.

Praying for the family that you find peace and comfort. Love you All. THE HEARD FAMILY

To My Allen Family in Colorado Springs, Co. My deepest sympathy and love goes out to all of you while you experience the transition of our loved one Joe Allen. May his legacy live on in you, as my dad lives on in me. We are a beautiful family - I pray we continue to love and support one another. Not a lot of people have what we have - just the fact that we know each other and have our reunions to continue to know each other is priceless. From this commitment of love, I was able to meet and know my cousin. See you Cousin Joe in eternity. Love Cousin Debra Allen Porter in California.

Dear Allen and Bigelow families,
Grandpa, as we affectionately called him, will be dearly missed at Future Stars basketball games. Our children are better people because of his presence at practices and games. We will fondly remember him for his love of family and basketball.

BooBoo, you will be truly missed by all that had the pleasure, and honor, of knowing you. Always there for family and friends, not to mention those who just made themselves family, like myself! Your grandkids and great-grandkids were my 'adopted'ones! Love to all of my 'family', in your time of sorrow. Remember the man, the legacy he left behind,and the big smile,and the big heart that had room for everyone! Love you Akele and my babies, and all the family near and far. Miss.Lois and family.

May you rest in peace cousin Joe

The word of God says in John's Gospel 14th chaper verses 1-6; "Do not let your hearts be troubled, You have faith in God; have faith also in me..."
My cousins keep the faith as Jesus tells us to and trust that his grace and mercy will always see us through all that life can hit us with. We are praying now as always for all the family in this time of sorrow. God Bless and keep you. Charles and Pauline Allen and family.

Mr. Allen was my Y.A.L. football coach for 2 years. I remember hit to be very patient and very kind. My deepest condolences to Mike, Joe and the rest of the Allen family.

Cousin Joe words can't express what I'm feeling about You leaving us. I love you in life and In death. Family meant so much to you. Thats one thing we both agreed on. Rest In Peace in the arms of Our Lord. Amen

WOW! There is no words I cannot express my sorrow that I carry for the loss of my beloved Uncle Joe. To Craig, Joseph Jr.,Micheal, Anita, Renee and his two loving sister's Mary Ann (Na-Na) and Aunt Tina (Tonia), that he was very proud and supportive of his family. Uncle Joe was the biggest inspiration I've ever met in my life- he never stopped smiling and humoring his relatives' quirky senses of humor in spite of everything he when through! Uncle Joe Spirit was so big that it could move mountains. You have been a role model in my life. I will never forget when you and the family would come to Lafayette for the summer. The first thing we would get is boudin and hard crackers and than we would sit around the table and play Billing Casino, then I would have everyone laughing. Uncle Joe, I will always remember the Family Reunion in Colorado, the good time and the hospitality that you always give. Thank you! I cannot bear this deep down my heart. Please know that with deep remembrance and kind sympathies, his soul will be rested in peace. May God's grace and blessing's comfort you during this difficult time? He was a real hero and a divine soul. May GOD rest his soul in peace? I love u always...Christian

Dearest Allen Family,

Though the time I have known you and have spent getting to know you was brief, my heart is saddened to hear of the passing of your Beloved father/brother/grandfather (etc). It was an honor to have been a part of his life, as brief as this part may have been. May God comfort each and every one of you, you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Boo Boo~ You were the rock of our family. You always reminded us that FAMILY came first and to never give up. You were the light that shined through on every hard day and the star that kept us all dreaming at night! I have never learned so many thing from any one person in my life. You tought me how to always listen, learn and love. Your inspiring words will follow me throughout my life. We will all continue to celebrate the great times we had with you. We love you Boo Boo and miss you so much! Thanks for being our ANGEL!
