CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF AN EXTRAORDINARY MAN
MR. EDGAR DE ALLEN III
WHEREAS, Mr. Edgar De Allen III., was called home by the GREAT I AM on the day we asked the Lord to preserve his physical being a little while longer with family and some of his closest friends. Mr. Allen answered his Savior's call, "Come for I have prepared a place specifically for thee a mansion the size of twelve acres. The east wing displays a wall filled with photographs of people that will always keep you in the remembrance of their hearts." Immediately, tears welled up Mr. Allen's eyes and slowly rolled down his cheekbones. It was during that very moment; he gasped his last breath and connected with Jesus. The Angels stood by Heaven's Gate and shouted, "Glory to God the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost, Mr. Allen is home." and

It is our hope that we can exemplify the same type of love towards those we encounter on a frequent basis; and
