Becky ~ I’m so sorry to hear of Allan’s passing. I’m sure this has been a very hard time for you and your family especially during this Corona pandemic and not being able to visit with him if he was in the hospital as well as the services that must be minimal during this time. Please know that my prayers and condolences are with you and your family during this time and the days to come.
