My condolences to Allene Byars’ entire family and especially to former classmate Jimmy Byars. Losing your mother, at any age, is a big lose. May your loving memories of her give you comfort in the coming days.

So sorry about the death of your loved one. She will be missed. I didn’t know about it until I read it in the death notice. Sorry I don’t have a way

Allene was both a blessing and inspiration to all who knew her. I am so grateful to have known her! My conversations with her were ones I will always treasure. My love to her family whom she loved so dearly.

Blessings !
