Classmate, I have knowing you since 1985, walking those halls of DH Conley High School and running around in Oakdale. To the family of Big Allen, on behalf of the McClaud family, you will truly, truly be missed! Rest on classmate! Rest on!
When you entered into the gospel ministry, you told me that if you could be half the preacher that daddy was you would be grateful. I was deeply moved by that because you wanted to be like your granddaddy in the ministry and you were like him in so many ways; you were kind, humble, soft spoken, family oriented and had a heart for the people. You exceeded your own expectation probably without even knowing it. You were also so much more in your own right as a person and in the ministry; you were just the way God intended for you to be in the ministry he had for you. Your wildfire of LOVE spread further than you could have imagined. Not only have you carried the family legacy of ministers on but you have also set the bar higher for the next generation of ministers to come. One of daddy's favorite songs was "May the work I've done speak for me". Well cousin, for you I must say YES IT DID; and quite loudly. Thanks for the talks, the fun, the laughter and the fellowship we had growing up and as adults. You will be missed. Forever in my heart. Luv you cuz.
