Our sweet Alison

Alison left us this morning. Kirk says she had been sleeping without awakening for at least a day. She died early this morning with Kirk by her side.

I know Kirk will post something soon about her, and about her memorial service. He'll let us know those details when he has them.

I will look for her spirit when I hear someone laugh, or hear the many songs we loved together, or watch someone dance with joy, or watch someone perform an act of kindness for someone.

I will miss her so much.

  7. My condolences and prayers to all of you. I worked with Alison for a short time but managed to keep in touch with her throughout the years. We had some good times especially when she worked at CHO. My son was a frequent patient and Alison was his nurse. She kept me company during the night while my son was recovering. She is a remarkable and strong woman. She will be dearly missed.

  8. Thank you to Dani and Kirk for keeping this blog going. It meant a great deal to me and I am sure Alison's friends as we followed her journey. Alison was dearly loved by her friends at Samuel Merritt. We will miss her.
