Your sentence is basically okay (and Sanjay's advice was incorrect). But you definitely need a comma after that is, and I think a comma would also be a good idea after said, too. Or the final part of the sentence could be reworded this way: Allen said, before giving her another hug.

It doesn't make sense to change the tense of wish here, Sanjay.
