In Loving Memory of JL Allen

Grandma Helen Roper Allen and Grandpa JL Allen left behind Larry R Allen, Kaye Watkins, Lisa Parker, Heidi Russell, and Debbie Moffat.

Adam Watkins put together a video of Grandma and Grandpa. They are videotaped speaking of their memories of their childhood, dating and growing up. This played at the viewing. It was so wonderful! It captured their laughs and personalities in only a way that a video could. Grandma was telling a campfire poem about her little lost kitten. Grandpa told about his experiences in the Navy and how at times they were only given an orange for lunch. Grandma also had done her Geniology and had written stories of their courtship. Grandpa said that he only would "only go with the prettiest girls." They truely loved each other and they loved their families! At the funeral, Larry spoke of Grandpa's integrity and how it was so important to Grandpa to always "keep your word." Grandma went to BYU. Grandma and Grandpa were married in the Salt Lake Temple. Grandma and Grandpa went on a mission to Seattle, Washington. We are very proud of them and grateful for the examples and lives they lived. We love you Grandma and Grandpa Allen!
