Hello Earl I am sorry it has been awhile since I have been on here.Forty nine years you have been gone 49 years.I was coming to visit your grave today but Joe has picked up a cold so hopefully tomorrow. Earl I love you and miss you still.I still remember that phone call Dad’s voice on the other end saying three words that changed many lives forever,Earl is dead it echoes in my brain to this day.What I try and do now is hold the memories of you close to my heart.I love you Big Guy only if I could give you one more hug or tell you in person how much I loved having you as my brother.Thank you Earl for all of the funny memories too.Be sure and tell mom and dad,Colt how much we love and miss them too.One more thing tell Dave I really miss our talks and I love him too.Butch,John and Robert are all doing okay minor health issues but we are faring okay.Earl I talk about you a lot I guess it’s because you dear are always on my mind.Well yesterday was beautiful weather I am so ready for spring time and summer.Earl I know Heaven is beautiful and I know that a lot of my loved one’s are there so please watch over us down here and please tell dad I know when he stops by and I love him too.Thanks for the memories Earl always on my mind and in my heart .
         Then 3-20-73-Now 3-20-22

Earl
   Forty eight years ago this day we laid your body in the ground wow to me it seems like yesterday the years flew by.Earl I have forgiven the people that ended your life that night but I have never forgotten.I pray for them to seek forgiveness as I do not want one soul to enter hell and I truly mean this.Now Earl on a brighter note I plan to celebrate your life today remembering all of the good times the homework and the donuts in the snow and Christmas so many memories.Earl I miss your laughter it filled the room.So as I go through this day Earl know that you aren't far from my thoughts.Music Motown will rock my house this day because you shared your love of this music with me.So Big Brother fly high with the Angels and know you are loved and missed.
            Forever Always Your Little Sister

Good morning Earl
          Missing your brother and sure wished you here so I could see you one more time.
Life on this earth right now is truly messed up.We have COVID-19 and masked wearing and we have to distance ourselves six feet,churches,schools are shut down but we can go to Walmart and Liquor stores.Scratching my head right now.Defund the police so the career corrupt politicians and the criminals have a free pass to commit their crimes.The politicians rob us with a stroke of a pen while the criminals use a gun or other weapons.Let’s not forget they want our weapons so we cannot protect ourselves or our families.Earl can you say (CRAZY).Well now that I have vented I have too go.
           Love you Big Guy

Hello Earl
       It's a nice day here but a sad time a very dear friend more like a sister lost her son.Earl all I can think about is how our mother felt I remember she walked around in a haze numb from grief.Helpless I feel helpless their is nothing I can say or do to ease her pain and grief.Praying for God to comfort his mother and brother because as a sister who lost her brother I feel their pain.REST-IN-PEACE ALLEN MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE COMFORT OF HIS ARMS.Earl you are loved and always missed never doubt that.
                                        Love Joyce

Hello Earl
Well getting ready to visit your grave on 3-20-21 (48 years you have been gone.) Earl in the 48 years you have been gone it hasn't gotten any easier your death affected us more than you would have ever have known it destroyed our mother.Earl she talked about you almost to her death.Earl I have made a decision I have sent away for your autopsy records and death certificate this is my decision Earl and know one can change my mind. Closure what is Closure our mother never got Closure all she got was the news of her son being dead her second born son.Earl I really hope you know how much you were loved missing you still everyday.
                    Love always your sister

Me here again Earl sure wish you were still here.Life here is upside down we are living in a crazy world.Earl sending off for your death certificate and trying to get your autopsy report I need to know.Butch said he saw a copy of your death certificate and it stated cause of death gunshot wound to the head.Earl as your sister I still have a hard time hearing this horrible and heart breaking it is.Earl our mother never recovered from your death she never forgot or forgave the people that toke your life.Earl as a christian I had to find forgiveness but believe me I will never forget.Earl you know what we are going through right now so please understand if I go Mia for a while as you well know family is everything.I love you brother I miss you still.

   Good morning just talked to Tater about our memories of you.We miss you so much.Please keep watch over us.Earl I wonder what your life would have been like but we will never know because your life was taken too soon.
What was your thoughts that last day of your life? We will never know.We do know you toke a shower and your last meal was tomato sandwiches and chocolate milk.Thoughts what were you thinking when you got into that van with a person you considered your friend?
                          Earl goodbye for now.
                          Love your sister Joyce
