Meet the Allens.

Jarrett was born in Little Rock, AR, on August 13, 2013, to parents, Russ and Emily Allen. He was an active, inquisitive and outgoing young boy. He had such a tender, loving heart who loved his family, friends and Jesus. Jarrett longed for a sibling and prayed every night that God would provide him with a baby sister. God answered his prayers and he indeed was given a baby sister named, Gemma. He loved her so tenderly and even though she was in his life for 2 years, his life has greatly impacted hers. She talks about her "bubba" daily and that we shouldn't be sad because "he lives in our hearts, is in heaven with Jesus, and that one day we will see him again." Even though Jarrett is no longer with us on this side of heaven, his legacy lives on through her!

Jarrett loved many outdoor activities including swimming, soccer, and deer camp. He especially loved spending time with family and friends. Anyone who knew Jarrett knew he had a heart of gold.

Russ and I are so blessed and honored to have had two beautiful, healthy children and our prayer is to have joy in the midst of the pain. We know that not a millisecond of our pain is meaningless. May God bless you!
