I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God has laid you see.
I took His hand when I heard him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee
God wanted me now; He set me free.

Allen fought long and hard against Cancer.He said,"This is not good bye but see you later." He has been a blessing in my life. I will miss him on this earth but I will see Him later.

Allen was a great nephew and really fought a long battle against cancer.He will be greatly missed.He is in a much better place now and we will all see him again.
God give us all strenght to carry on in life on earth
I feel so lucky to have been a part of Allen's life, even if it was just for a short time. All of my memories are beautiful. He was always a joy, so sweet and so funny. Kim and I know that we will see him again and then we will make up for the lost time.
Allen was a great family member and I had a lot of childhood memories of Allen.I was an only child and allen grew up beside me, so he was more of a brother than a cousin. I will miss him a lot. He will always have a place in my heart. I Love You
It was a pleasure being part of Allen's life as well as the rest of his family. I have so many memories especially of all the concerts we used to go to and living in the trailer in Humble. Matter of fact not too long ago he brought up all the concerts we went to himself and I had forgotten about it. He will be sorely missed but is now with his family that has beat him there. May the family fond peace and comfort. Never will my birthday go by without my thinking of him, not sure anyone remembers but he was only 8 days older than me and I always thought about him on his birthday.
On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank you and your staff for your excellent and caring service.
Thank you for all you did to make our mother's funeral special, dignified, and easy for us.
I just can't express to you enough how much we appreciated the kindness and professionalism my family experienced with you and your staff.
Thank you for treating my beloved mother with honor and respect all throughout the process.
Our family will be forever grateful to the owner and staff at Beresford Funeral Services for the excellent services they provided to our family upon the death of our loved one. Everything went smoothly. The planning was easy with everything needed for the funeral provided on sight at reasonable prices with no pressure to spend more than planned. They were flexible with our personal plans, very kind, and considerate from beginning to end. We would definitely recommend Beresford Funeral Services to anyone in need of funeral services.
