Allyson Nakasone

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...

Often remembering our conversations, Allyson's exuberance, her big smile. She was one of the most interesting people I have ever met. Miss her always.

The holiday cactus plant is thriving, as well as memories of Allyson!

Allyson's joy, integrity and commitment to making the world a better place for everyone continues to inspire me and all who knew her. She is still a powerful, loving energy in our world...and to me!

My plant still thrives and blooms - always a reminder of Allison. Thought about her the other day....I must have known from the blooms.

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.

Missed, but never forgotten. The Christmas succulent you gave me is thriving and continues to bloom. Thank you for the wonderful gift.

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....
Sending you love and comfort....
