Remembering Allan Jenkins

I lost a good friend of mine last week, Allan Jenkins who was married to my friend Renee. He passed away at the age of 36 and will be terribly missed by myself and the kids. Taylor says Allan and Renee were her second parents. I have a lot of good memories with Allan and so do the kids. I am sorry it had to end this way. Allan, you were a good man and would have eventually saw the light at the end of your tunnel. You had a huge heart and you cared for many people, I just don't think you realized how much people cared for you. I am sorry I wasn't there for your service but I was thinking of you and my thoughts and prayers are with Renee, Jordan and Delaney. I hope you find your path and know that a lot of people here will always remember you.

Some Memories I Would Like To Share:

1. The first time I met you was at Jay's and you came to pick Jordan up. We stood there and talked and you told me you loved Jordan and were ready for another child. From then on we talked every time you came in.

2. Something that sticks out of my mind more than ever is you with Jimmy. You were the first one that he stuck his whole head under your shirt just to play with your belly button. I have a picture of that, I will have to locate it.

3. You always told me how much you cared for Taylor and love her coming to visit. You always made us all feel right at home.

4. When Eric and I were going to Vegas and we hard some times come up that left us broke before our trip, you were the one to give us money to play on, I will never forget that!

5. When I was at the daycare having horrible pain from the ectopic pregnancy, it was you that got me help and I thank you for that.

6. You and Renee gave Eric and I a memorable send off to Florida. I tried my first Escargot with you guys (and will probably never eat one again) and then you took us for a night of gambling, we had a lot of fun that night.

I have several memories but those stick out the most. You will be missed. I am sorry I didn't meet up with you and the girls like you wanted, now I wish I would have. I did want to talk to you Allan and let you know that this way was not the way to go. I wanted to let you know how it hurts the people you leave behind. I hope you have finally found peace!
