Sweet Alison- I just saw yesterday that you passed away a few years ago. To say my heart is so saddened and shattered is an understatement. Idk if you would remember me from Allston Way years ago when I baby sat for you and Francis for many years. I loved you kids then and still do. I wish I had not waited so long to find you and the family. I loved all of you so very much. I know we will meet again. Until then, RIP, my love! You are such a blessed treasure

I used to babysit you and your brother, Francis years ago when we all lived on Allston Way. I loved you children so much. Unfortunately, we all lost touch about 40 years ago. I have often thought about your kids and wondered what you are doing now and if you are happy. I will never forget you, Alison, or your brother or your father or your dear mom, Janice whom I also adored. Love you all. I am so very sad to hear of your passing. I wish I could have spent time with you in these last 40 year. I never forgot or stopped loving you, Sweetie. RIP, and we will meet again. I promise. xoxo

Allison,

We loved you as you were as Love is not measure by the things one does or doesn't do, it's not measure by what one has or doesn't have.
Love is understanding, is supporting, is acceptance, it's unconditional, and when given with open heart as we did is forever.

You are now resting in the peace of the Lord but will always remain in our hearts.
R.I.P.

Although Alison certainly had her hurdles in life, she had a heart of gold and loved her family and extended family members. Joseph and Anthony were her shining lights and I know she will be watching over them for all eternity.
Words cannot express my thanks for the outpour of love and affection our family has received the past ten days.
Alison's at peace now. Her journey continues.
With love,
Janice (Mom)
