Celebrate Allen!!
May 14, 1967-November 21, 2023
~~~~~~ Shaun Jones
I'm pressed for time this morning. Wanted to let all of you know that yesterday I attended the celebration for Allen Jones aka DippyDawg at the Zilker Club House. Very well-attended, roughly 125. I met Allen's widow, Shaun, who is a truly lovely woman. Her final comment to me was a question "Do you think he liked it?"
No, Shaun, he LOVED it!
I took a few pics, and there were some great old pics on display. I'll sort through them all, and post in a day or two. Meanwhile, on the inside page of the program, surrounded by old photos, was this:
God, make me an instrument of thy peace!
That where there is hatred, I may bring love.
That where there is wrong, I bring the spirit of forgiveness.
That where there is discord, I may bring harmony.
That where there is error, I may bring truth.
That where there is doubt, I may bring faith.
That where there is despair, I may bring hope.
That where there are shadows, I may bring light.
That where there is sadness, I may bring joy.
Everybody who spoke, and there were many, agreed that this is how DD spent his time, as he lived out his best years among friends and family.
In his memory, I remain,
NT
Matthew 7:12
God bless you all.
