Rose M Allen

As you celebrate my homegoing, I pray that each of you will remember that I fought so hard to remain with each of you. I have finished my earthly course of life. My departure was all a part of God’s plan for me, so keep the faith.  In my absence, remember that my spirit lives on. If you want to keep my memory alive remember that love knows no boundaries. All I ever wanted to do was to show everybody the value of loving each other. As a family remember the importance of showing each other agape love through fellowshipping with each other.
