Allen was born Feb. 22, 1969 to Joe & Lois Bauders. He was the sweetest, cutest baby. My mom's &
dad's first grand child. He was our everything. When He was 2 1/2 yrs., his baby brother, Terry was
born. Allen was only a baby himself, and was never jealous of him. He loved his brother. We lived at
Mingo, on the outskirts of Tulsa, Okla. He started school at Mingo Elementary, where he attended for
8 yrs. He played in the band, played basketball and baseball. He was a terrific pitcher. Other
coaches from the other teams would even comment on his pitching ability. We moved to Collinsville
where he graduated from Collinsville High School in 1987. He attended vo-tech for 2 yrs. where he
learned his trade as a machinst. He loved the cabin. We spent all of our summers down there. He
loved to water ski, drive the pontoon,kept the fire pit going,always spashing someone with water! He
was always bringing down some sort of toy for the kids to play with. He loved kids, and was a big
kid himself. That's what we all loved about him, always joking, & cutting up. He & Terry could
really make us laugh. Our boys had that very special brother bond. Even though they wouldn't see
each other all the time, they had the brother love, and everyone that knew them, knew that. He was
brought up with cats & dogs. He loved animals. He got this dog that was part wolf & german shepard,
named him "Dakota". He raised him from a puppy. Had Dakota for years, then mom & dad got him when he
was really old. Took care of him til he died. (Our grand dog). He never really got another one for
himself. His wife Kelly would bring dogs in and had 1 when they married in March, 2006. He loved
them all. (More grand dogs!)Allen died April 4, 2008 in a single car accident. It was the worst day
of our lives. We miss him so much, words can't even express. Our family is no longer whole. We know
that we will join him in Heaven, when God calls us each home. In the meantime, we have our memories,
and know that he is and always will be with us in spirit. He is with his "Mema" Waleeta Gordon, who
went to Heaven Sept. 10, 2005. She was waiting for him with open arms. We miss both of them so very
much.

Prayer of Faith.
We trust that beyond absence there is a presence.
That beyond the pain there can be healing.
That beyond the brokenness there can be wholeness.
That beyond the anger there may be peace.
That beyond the hurting there may be forgiveness.
That beyond the silence there may be the word.
That beyond the word there may be understanding.
That through understanding there is love.

Quietly I Weep
By Lyndie Sorenson
Although I seem to hide it
My sorrow's still so deep
Missing you in silence
Quietly I weep
I long to see your smile
Hear your laughter, hug you tight
But you're no longer with me
You've headed toward the light
I'm sure you are quite happy
Here on earth I miss you so
Asking that same question
Why was it you that had to go?
I am sure there is an answer...
One that might make sense
When others offer reasons
I'm just on the defence
If they could understand me
Know how hard life is with grief
Just hold my hand and listen...
That would be a great relief
Although I seem to hide it
My sorrow's still so deep
Missing you in silence...
Quietly I weep

♥ Only we who grieve ♥
♥ Tis only we who grieve
♥ They do not leave
♥ They are not gone
♥ They look upon us still
♥ They walk among the valleys now
♥ They stride upon the hill
♥ Their smile is in the summer sky
♥ Their grace is in the breeze
♥ Their memories whisper in the grass
♥ Their calm is in the trees
♥ Their light is in the winter snow
♥ Their tears are in the rain
♥ Their merriment runs in the brook
♥ Their laughter in the lane
♥ Their gentleness is in the flowers
♥ They sigh in autumn leaves
♥ They do not leave
♥ They are not gone
♥ tis only we who grieve.

♥ I Believe ♥
(Written By Skip Ewing and Donny Keyes Copyright 2002)
(Song performed by Diamond Rio)
Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And it's like you haven't been gone
A moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time are holding you and me
And with all my heart I'm sure
We're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see
I've got all the proof I need
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, I believe
That when you die your life goes on
It doesn't end here when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light
It never ends and if I'm right
Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe, I believe
Forever you're a part of me
Forever in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer if I can
The people who don't see the most
Say that I believe in ghosts
And if that makes me crazy
Then I am
'Cause I believe, oh I believe
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, oh I believe
Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And I believe
'Cause I believe, oh I believe.

☼ The Sea and the Beach ☼
(Tessa Wilkinson)
The sea seems to illustrate pain and sorrow so well
It comes in and goes out
For a while it is there, overwhelming, covering everything
Then slowly the tide turns and it withdraws
For a while we can see the beauty of the shells, the seaweed
We can rejoice in the patterns in the sand
We can feel the corrugated ripples under our feet
Alive to what is around, and beyond
But then the tide turns and again it is all washed away, all overwhelmed
We feel like the crashing of the waves on rocks
Raw and out of control
Full of anger and rage
Battered and bruised
Tossed about like flotsam floating wherever we are thrown
There are so many questions. Why now? Why him?
But no answers
Then the sea calms and gently the waves lap the rocks
We are soothed and the inner turmoil is calmed
In time we can learn to move up the beach as the tide comes in
Out of its reach
Not to be overwhelmed
The pain is still there, but in control
We can recognise the pain
Revisiting the sadness
Acknowledging how much the person is missed
We learn to turn away and look to the future
Knowing the person will always be part of us
Always loved and always remembered

~ Immeasurable (by Sean Ashcroft) ~
Laughter will still sound,
even though you’re gone.
But the decibels will dip,
with some smiles, painted on.
Hopes will still soar,
dreams float on high.
But the altitude will drop,
as will the supply.
Passion will still drive us,
desire wave us off.
But the revs will decline
and the engine might cough.
Time will be bejewelled,
lives lit by waltzing light.
But the carats will diminish,
its brilliance a lesser sight.
Yet memories have no volume,
love no mass nor weight.
These will broaden, widen, deepen,
a true measure of something great.
