Reflections for Lieutenant Norman Allard
Dad, I can't believe it's been 29 years since you left this world. Every day you are missed and thought of. God gives us cherished memories. Cling to them when sorrows come. Where is the heart that does not keep within its inmost store. Some fond remembrance hidden deep of days that are no more? Your grandchildren are growing up so fast. My son is already 10 years old and forever asks about his Grandpa. I wish you could have met him. He's wonderful and reminds me of what blessings truly are. I make sure your spirit lives in each of your grandchildren (all 9 of them). "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you." Philippians 1:3. Never let today's burden erase yesterday's blessing. I love and miss you Dad. You are forever in my heart and soul.
Love,
Mary Beth

Mary Beth and family,
You are all on my heart and in my prayers today. May you find comfort in knowing one day you will see your loved one again.

Dad it's your birthday today. I want to celebrate your life and all that you stood for. One of my favorite scriptures is: Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27. I know that this scripture is how you would want me to live my life. I miss you Dad.
Love,

Dad,
I know you were with me these past few trying months of my life. I am a survivior and that has been surely proven over the years. Oh how I wish you could have been there to comfort me through this most difficult time. I know in my heart you were there in my spirit and you gave me the strength to push forward and heal. I have a long way to go Dad, but I know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I will always miss you Dad.
Love,
Mary Beth

I believe I have Your humor
I believe I have Your smile
I wish is could have known You, if only for a while.
I wish I could have seen You in the days when life was great,
Just for one moment, just before that date.
I wish You could have seen me and helped me on my way,
I wish our lives were different.
If only You had stayed.
All that's left now are stories of the playful man You were,
I know I would have loved You Dearly, I'm absolutly Sure.
And I know that I am a part of You and You would have felt the same,
I wish I could have known You, not only just Your name.
Rest in Peace Grandpa
Love, Your Grandchild

LT Allard,
All of your grandchildren have gone there entire lives without knowing you, or who you were, but as we get older we have begun to learn about your life and about how incredible of a person you were. All of your friends and family have expressed there love of you to us. Now we are able to share in the same love that your family and friendshas felt for so long. Thank you for your service to our country, for your service to the City of New Britain and for the undying memories that your family (especially your daughters) share in everyday.
