Allene Valentine was my Aunt. But she was so much more than that. My Uncle Jimmy and her were the kindest, fairest people I know. I am So blessed to have had them in my life. Throughout mine and my siblings lives they were there for us. Making sure we were cared for and safe. I left my unstable home environment to live with them. They welcomed me into their home and made sure I knew I was loved and welcome. They gave me security and unconditional love. I will always say that they saved me, my life most likely would’ve turned out much differently if they had chosen not to take me into their home and hearts. I am forever grateful for their big, beautiful, giving hearts. They were two of the BEST people I have ever known, and I love them endlessly~Elaine
