Allyson wrote a song in 1978 or 79 to her parents.."you are the balance to my center" Allyson and her brother Jeff became my center during a tumultuous time... My favorite memory came after she became her true self... Allyson was my first junior high school crush...her soul had a resonance and her aura was blinding in intensity. Born with a hole in her heart she knew life was precious and fought against the tides of time and rules of man. Independent, compassionate, curious, creative and musically gifted. She will forever have a place in my heart, her patches on the mosaic and that is my soul healed the sail that tatters but never tears. I wrote many poems and songs about her in my youth she will forever stand the Muse in my mind's eye. Safe travels truth teller. KMT... these heart stones remind me of her and others lost to time. A truer friend you can not find, simply put her passion was like a quided missle Lazer marked target and ready for any mission. I was going to wait until the 10 th anniversary, but there won't be many of us left then. So raise your glass, bottle and voices in song to Allyson-san yep she hated that..san is the masculine and sama is the honorific feminine. ..and so they left the place where they had shared time and space, empty as it was before their coming. And then there were none." KMSTSR '82 .....nothing compares to you Allyson ...Cheers to twice the rides in youth and finding love in truth. K.

Just a few days ago I was remembering Allyson while I was digging around in my garden. I remembered how she cared about the soil, the environment and how joyful she was. She was and is a role model for me.

Allyson was a remarkable person. I have never met anyone like her. She had the biggest smile and friendliest greeting whenever we met. I miss her. I still have her number in my phone and her email address. She was going to help me build a worm bin. There are never enough or the right words to express how special Allyson was.

Dear Allyson's mom, Julia....I just happened to see your brave post and so appreciate your sharing. Allyson inspired me and so many people to be loving, informed, joyful and an activist. Her example lives on and will ripple forward for a VERY long time. In so many ways, she hasn't left....

It has been over two years since my sweet wonderful child left this world. It has taken me this long to get up courage to read the beautiful condolences posted here. Your words give me great joy that Allyson will continue to live in the hearts of so many. Thank you for your kind words of comfort and for your love and friendship. Allyson was with us too short a time, but it was filled with so much love and joy, and we were all touched by it. I was lucky, indeed, to have been a part of her journey. With a heart that is taking a while longer to heal....Hugs.
Allyson's mom, Julia

I met Allyson at an Oak Commons cohousing open house. She was a wonderful realtor, friendly and knowledgeable about cohousing and willing to communicate with me by email. I was shocked to hear about her passing yesterday while visiting Oak Commons. Allyson had a way of connecting with everyone. My condolences to her family and loved ones.

To Allyson's dear family and friends,
We were so sorry to hear of her sudden passing. Such a wonderful person whose smile always lit up the room with such energy and happiness. I cherish the years with Allyson in the Fortune Cookies investment club and our "birthday lunches" for many years afterward. I will miss you, Allyson!

Our sincere sympathies on the loss of Allyson. We didn't know her well, but we connected with her as members of the SLO environmental community. We enjoyed seeing her at this year's Earth Day Fair at El Chorro Regional Park. - John Reid and Nikki Reich

People like Allyson do not come into our lives very often... we thought we would have so much more time! From working together on events, to her showing us how to gather seaweed, to relaxing with music or discussing science or how to solve the world's problems; our interactions were fun, and productive and satisfying. While our hearts are so heavy for the loss--- we were So Lucky to have had her in our lives. Our deepest sympathy to her family....

I'm so sadden by the sudden loss of Allyson. Her positive outlook on life, her desire to be a better person as a daily practice, her down to earth way of being, honesty and optimism was refreshing, comforting and inspiring. Allyson was real. Her love and dedication for the environment and service to others was outstanding and constant. I found her to be a power force for good in the communities she was involved with. I miss you Allyson Nakasone!

Dear Allyson, you gave more of yourself to ECOSLO than anyone I've known in its past 44-year history. You've been a champion for so many of the good causes in SLO County and your giving of time and energy for the common good of our area has been exemplary. Julie and I send our deepest sympathy to the Nakasone Family and to your dear Terre. We all will miss your love, your smile, and your great enthusiasm as teacher and advocate in helping to save our planet. Dick & Julie Krejsa, San Luis Obispo, CA.
