Alison VanVooren Lasell

I just learned of Ali's passing. We worked together at Adam's 12 Five Star School District. She was one of my supervising teachers. I'm very very sad to hear about this. I always admired her intelligence and her commitment and dedication to the field of education. I learned a great deal from her. RIP Ali. . Stanley Settle

John, I am so sorry for your loss. Ali was charismatic and fun and you could tell that people loved to be in her company. I enjoyed talking with her about your outdoor frisbee endeavors and her time at Iowa State (my husband's alma mater as well). Take all the time you need and we hope to see you back at HQ when you are ready.

John, My sincere condolences to you and your boys. I remember meeting Ali at our company holiday parties years ago and I admired how she was actively working to improve education. I pray for peace to surround all of you, her loved ones, during this time of grief and remembrance.

I met Ali several times over the years at company events. She was always passionate and fun to talk to, and I know that she made material contributions to benefit and better our community. I have worked with John for over 12 years, and I have great respect for he and his family. I wish them strength, peace and solace during such a difficult time.

Ali was such a light to so many. I was blessed to be around her during my (what always seemed too short) time in Colorado. Wishing her family and wonderful extended family of friends all the best as we remember Ali and celebrate her life.

Bill and I were so sad to hear about Ali. I always enjoyed seeing her at the hubs' work parties and talking about being two-son moms and life in Colorado. I loved her holiday -hemed jewelry! I'm glad she got to spend quality time with all her family the past year and we will hold John and the boys in our hearts.

Ali was the best. I knew her through Jeffco and helped with her campaign. In addition to being a wonderful board member, she was willing to Read Across America in Jeffco classrooms with me. When she was diagnosed I shared my cheeseburger soup with the boys and they were greatly appreciative when I texted the recipe. She loved her family deeply and they are extremely blessed to have her. Jeffco will not be the same without Ali, however, we will keep her memory alive in all of our hearts....
