Allison, I was looking through my memory book from 1986 in Denmark and was moved to try and get in touch with you as you were such a wonderful and supportive friend to me when we were on exchange. So shocked and saddened to learn you were taken away. Thank you for the many many fun times! Roskilde festival, bike tours and watching you shop. Knus Cx

Your parents are amazing, your three daughters are growing up beautifully, your family & friends remain fiercely loyal, your community still misses you.

Rest in Peace Allison. You were snatched from this world all too soon, taken from your babies and the loving parents who nurtured your talents, enabling you to develop into the beautiful, accomplished girl you were.

Dear Priscilla, Geoff, Ashley, Vanessa, Hannah, Sarah & Ella,

The nation is desperately grieving your loss more than you may know. I am consumed with grief for what you have had to endure as a family. You have the immense strength of thousands of loving parents behind you, as you traverse this dark passage. We will not rest until there is Justice or Allison. When justice is served, we will never forget your beautiful loving mother, or the community that rallied around to see her memory honored. May you always feel strength in knowing that your mother is eternally honored, and that her family is held in such high regard, as she deserved. We send you all our love and best wishes for the coming years. I wish that the love of thousands of parents around the world could wrap around you and comfort you in this time of great sadness. May time heal your heart break as much as possible.

Best regards and sincere best wishes and love,

To Allison's daughters, I worked with your mother at KISC. She was such a genuinely nice person. I can't recall her without a smile on her face. She was game for anything and always good for a laugh. I can't believe that her smile does not greet you every day. Know that your mother touched the lives of people around the world. You do not grieve alone. Sending you strength, your sister in scouting,

May God's blessings be upon you and the loved ones you leave behind. RIP. xx
