Ali Shepherd

Hello Ali,
I remember when I first met you and you were interviewing me for a job. I expected the interview process to be rigid and formal. I was so nervous, but right away your smile made me feel at ease. Working for you, I always knew that I could talk to you no matter what. I looked up to you and admired the amazing way you had with people. You were kind to everyone. I miss our talks, laughing with you and sharing stories. The last time I saw you, Sofia had just been born, and since...

To my Ali, my best friend and sister. I so miss you and my heart broken for your loss. You will always be my bambam boobadoops and moose, to others that means nothing, but we share so many things.

I admired her not only in her professional life, but she was the wife and mother, we should all aspire to. Her loss has brought many of us together. She would have wanted that. The emptiness she has left in my life is very painful and I am trying to be as strong as she would want me to be. I miss her and loved her so.

The memorial service for Ali was so beautiful and moving. The sheer number of people that attended represents the incredible individual she was. Although, I never had the pleasure of working directly with her, I do have many memories of times we spent at the Wash bag, Bix, the Cyprus Club, radio functions, and more. When I was with her, I felt lighter, smarter, goofier and more fun! Her love of life was truly infectious. I read constantly and the memorial bookmark showing her awesome...
