My heart felt sympathies go out to David, Alison's family and dear friends.
Alison is an extraordinary woman. One you would never forget. Over the years I have known Alison and no matter how she was feeling Alison always had that bright bubbly smile that would brighten your day. We shared good times and bad, but she was always there to bring you back up. Through out all her trials and tribulations you never heard the words of "I give up" come from her... Two saying I know helped her get through were. "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference "and "It is, what it is"...
Alison, you are sadly missed by all , but we know you have gone home to a better place where we hope to see you again. You Keep on smiling as we rejoice your wondrous life
Love Maegen
May the LORD watch between you and me when we are absent one from the other. Gen. 31:49
AMEN
