Our since prayers and condolences are with you and your family. “ICE” was our neighbor on 25th and considered himself the “Mayor of 25th” and was very protective of his neighbors. It was a pleasure to know him. God has called home another angel.
May God comfort my Ohio family we send our prayers from your Florida family. We love y’all!
To the family of Allen, you have my deepest sympathy in your loss. Death was never God’s purpose for the human family. He put Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden (paradise), and they were to extend it, have many children, and to fill the earth (Genesis 1:28). They were to live forever as long as they were obedient, if not, they would die (Genesis 2:15-17). Very soon, God’s purpose will come true when He reverses the effects of sin and eliminates death forever! – Isaiah 25:8
I send my condolences to my Buckeye family.May God continue to be with each of you during this time.He touched everyone in different ways,hold on to your memories as u knew him.RIP Uncle Bobby!
