My deepest and widest and most sorrowful condolences to Al's family and dear community . It has been a privilege and honor to know Al for the last three years. We loved hosting Al and Catsy for dinners and lots of hikes and birdwatching. Al and I loved to talk about birds and compare birding notes. I remember first meeting Al at Tinks and Chris's and it was so much fun to see our dogs interact. I loved Al's connection to the natural world and especially to dogs and birds. So heartbroken at this enormous loss - and also lifting up all of the incredible beauty that Al brought to the world.
(The picture here is from a hike that Robert and I did with Al and Catsy, in Spring 2021, along with little FiFi our dog, who Al loved).

Alyssa, known as Al, was a beautiful and creative soul. My most cherished memories of growing up with her revolve around the laughter we shared. Her sense of humor was quick, witty, and sassy, never failing to bring a smile to everyone's face. I'll hold onto these memories dearly and miss Al deeply. In her memory, I'll watch the birds, reminded of her spirit, and hope to see them again one day.
