On May 4th, 2019, the world became a much heavier place as we lost a man who was loved so much by many, due to the catastrophic explosion that occurred in Gurnee, IL.  Allen was not only an exceptional friend, but an exceptional husband, son, brother, uncle, nephew, and cousin. All of the words put together to try and describe the amount of grief this family is experiencing cannot even be fathomed. This account is being created in an attempt to help alleviate even just the tiniest bit of stress that we can from their family to allow them time to grieve, and not have to worry about the financial aspect of the loss. Let's show Allen how much we love him. Let's show Jenny how much we love her, and how much we will support her and their families through this trying time. Please take the time to think about this desperate situation and how a kind gesture such as this would impact your life. We all experience loss, therefore, we all need to come together now to help. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and thank you for donating. Please share with your friends.
