Allen leaves you with these thoughts: I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one, to leave an afterglow of smiles now that my life is done, to leave an echo whispering softy down the ways of happy times, laughing times and bright, sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve for me to dry before the sun and there to be happy memories for you I leave behind.
