Description	:	Dear Allen, As preschoolers we had so much fun on your parent's farm. As your dad, Bruce and my dad Ernie Walley had been such good friends since their childhood, we, the Walley family spent a lot of time at your home. You were always so enthusiastic to see us come, it meant someone to play with and you were always so full of fun.

Read More	Dear Allen, As preschoolers we had so much fun on your parent's farm. As your dad, Bruce and my dad Ernie Walley had been such good friends since their childhood, we, the Walley family spent a lot of time at your home. You were always so enthusiastic to see us come, it meant someone to play with and you were always so full of fun. We had many good times running around your farm, going into the chicken coop when the adults weren't looking and gathering eggs in the hedge in front of the house. Your mother Ruth was always so pleased when we found the eggs her chickens were trying to hide from her. Your dad and I spent some time reminiscing about you not long before his death in 2015. He asked me if I remembered the evening I sat on the bottom step leading up to your bedroom. I remembered it very well. You had been misbehaving in the kitchen with your mother. I remember thinking, 'Allen be quiet or you will get sent to bed and I'll be left with just boring adults for the evening.' Sure enough your mom called your dad and you were sent upstairs to bed. After awhile I sat on the bottom step and hollered up, 'Allen are you sleeping. Allen what are you doing?' until some adult dragged me away. The night you died Bruce called my parents out to the farm to help take you to Hamiota hospital. You died in your parent's arms in the living room. My parents stayed the night at your place so the next morning my grandmother Nanny Walley told me what happened. I was standing in the door way between the kitchen and living room when she told me, it was difficult for a kid to comprehend.
