Our beautiful, bright star has left us.

Allison fiercely loved her children, pets, family and friends and that love was evident in everything she did. To be loved by Allison was a gift. She had a wonderful ability to make every person in her life feel special. Her sense of humor made her the life of every gathering. Every event was better when Allison was present. Her generosity was so much a part of her.
