Alison R. Dugan

To Alison's 3 daughters and to Mark. I am so sad to learn of your loss. My deepest sympathies are with each of you. I was a friend of Alison in our high school days and we had renewed our friendship 2 years ago. Sadly, we still didn't keep in close contact. I pray you each find the comfort and peace you desire. Please contact me. [email protected]

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Dear Mom,
It's taken these few days to put the most difficult words together. When we lost Dad two years ago, not matter how difficult and unsure of the future, we still walked away with you by our side. This time, we had to leave both of our parents behind, with no one to walk away with us. You have three daughters in which you had unique relationships with each one of us. Putting all the difficult dynamics aside, we all loved you in our own ways so very much! To my last day, I...

your heart was as beautiful as the flowers in your garden. this beauty extends to your family. your home never knew a stranger. friends were welcomed as family to share in festivities such as the 4th of july - "dad beans", dry ice bombs, and just good times. i'll miss our talks and making fun of the girls. your smile and laughter still echo in my head.

may your friends and family take solace knowing you are with your true love, your husband steve, surrounded by nothing but love...

Allison had a beautiful spirt, I noticed it the first time I met her. She went on and on about how beautiful Linda's flowers were on her table. My sympathy and prayers go to Mark and Allison's family.

I loved you with all my heart...We were two ships passing in the night...two lost souls joined at the hip.

I will miss you every day of my life yet I find comfort in the fact that you are at peace.

I love you sweetie...and goodbye.

Mom, Just knowing that you are back with dad again, brings me some relief. Your struggles are over, and may you finally be at peace. I am so sorry you had to suffer so deeply the past two years. I will miss you always. Love ya!

Although I didn't get a chance to meet Allison, I do know many people who knew her and loved her very much. My dearest cousin, Mark, loved her dearly and cared for her with all his heart. All he ever wanted was for he and Allison to have a loving and happy life together. Mark and his family thought the world of her. They all had alot of fun together...good times and good memories. So I feel as though I knew Allison somewhat from all the kind words that were spoken of her.

May the Lord...

We are glad Alison was a part of our dad's life. She was very special to him and will be missed.
