In a heart-wrenching social media post on Monday night, Jayla Allen, daughter of the legendary Dallas Cowboys player Larry Allen, expressed her shock and disbelief over her father’s sudden death. In an emotional message, she revealed that she felt like she was trapped in a never-ending nightmare and couldn’t wake up.
On Sunday, Larry, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and considered as one of the NFL’s best interior offensive linemen, passed away during his vacation in Mexico. According to his daughter, there were no indications of him being in poor health before the unexpected tragedy.
In complete disbelief, Jayla expressed her shock over Larry’s passing. She is now uncertain about how to move forward and cope with the aftermath of the loss he left behind.
Jayla wrote a heart-wrenching message, expressing her feelings of complete brokenness and despair. She conveyed the everlasting pain of losing her best friend and twin, and admitted to feeling lost about where to go from there.
In her emotional post, Jayla shared multiple pictures of herself and the ex-football player, including a heart-wrenching photo that seemed to capture the moment when Larry held her in his arms right after she was born.
On Monday, many people, including Jayla, mourned the passing of Larry. In an Instagram video, Larry’s former Cowboys teammate, Emmitt Smith, gave a tearful eulogy. Troy Aikman also sent his thoughts and prayers in an X post.
Larry, who was only 52 years old, leaves behind his wife and three children: Jayla, Loriana, and Larry III.
I’m sorry for your loss.
