It has taking me a while to be able to write down memories about our friendship as I couldnt come up with the words perfect enough to describe you and our friendship. I think this is because Allie is more perfect than any word could even describe. I smile when I think about her laugh and her beautiful smile. I have so many wonderful memories that make me happy to think about, like when I would come over and pumpkin (the little puppy) would go crazy in the house. The day we had a pampered chef party in her tiny little living room in the house on 422. My two fav. tattoos 1)obviously the wings :) and 2) the little kitty cat with wings! I remember the fake fight we had to do for reasons left unsaid and our severe shopping problems! when Allie would babysit 2 adorable little boys and I would bring skye to come over and watch bob the builder all the time. I love you, miss you and will see you again Allie! you will always be in my thoughts now and forever.

Your birthday is in just a few days. We're thinking of you and loving you from afar. You are so missed. I'm sure you're brought a brightness to wherever you are. All our love.

Allie I will miss you forever my heart is broken, Dad

i'm so saddened to find out that you're no longer here. i wish we wouldn't have lost touch. all i can remember is all the entertaing fun we had. you kept me smiling. xoxo

Dear Sue and family, and Keith and family, Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Our deepest condolences, Dan and Linda (King) Bowyer

Oh Allie...the times we had together...It's been many years but I will always carry the memories we shared in my heart. I'll never forget the image of you in a formal gown covered in pizza and chocolate cake. I'll never forget the poetry we wrote on our walls. Most of all, I'll never forget what a beautiful girl you were- I wish I could tell you one more time how you inspired me. Few of us have gone before you, and the rest of us will follow- but not one of us could ever forget a person as special as you.

Sue -- Our deepest sympathy on the passing of your daughter, Allison. May she rest in peace.

So incredibly sad to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I said, "God, they hurt." And God said, "I know." I said "God they will cry alot." God said, "That is why I gave them tears." I said, "God their loved one died", and God said,"so did mine." I said,"God, it is such a loss." And God said,"I saw mine nailed to a cross." I said, "God, but your loved one lives." And God said,"So does theirs." I said, "God where are they now?" And God said, Mine is on my right, and theirs' is in My light." I said, God, it hurts." And God said, "I know."Tonight when you look up at the sky, and perhaps they are not the stars that you see, but rather openings in heaven where the love of your Loved One, shines down upon you to let you know that they are at peace in the Hands of their God, engulfed in His Everlasting Love. (Author unknown)My sincere sympathy.

Keith and Lisa,We realize that no words can heal the pain you must be feeling from the loss of your daughter. Even though we never met Allison please know that you are all in our prayers during this difficult time. If you need anything please do not hesitate to call.

Allison, Your much missed and loved. I know you are in a better place and are no longer suffering. I will never forget when You and Angel(dog) were playing tag with eachother around the house. I love you baby girl and miss you dearly.

God sends us angles in our lives to give us something.This angle touch my life with the love of nature and animals.her laugh and smile would light up the room. May God blessand comfort the family.

I love you and miss you dearly. I'm going to make your bracelet tonight. Your smile always cheered my day. You will forever be my Wendy, and I'll never stop being your Peter Pan. <3Blessed be.

My deepest, most sincere and heartfelt sympathies go out to Sue and Terry and the rest of Allison's family.My memory.....is dropping off my son Charlie at Allisons house and picking him up...lots!... because they were "dating" in Jr. Highschool. Thank goodness she lived close by! She was always very sweet and easy to talk to. Having seen her quite recently makes it hard to accept. Peace Allison. xoxo

Dear Terry and Sue, I just wanted to send you my deepest sympathy on your loss. Our children are our greatest possessions and I can't even imagine your loss. You are both in my prayers. Allie is whole now and in God's hands. Take care of yourselves. Love you both Carlotta and Family

Though I only knew Allison for a short time, she touched my heart in a special way. I was aware of her struggles and her desire for happiness. Her smile made me smile. I will miss the oppurtunity to get to know her better. I pray for her family and friends that they may find comfort in the spirit of God at this sad time.

I met Allison through a friend of my husband Ben.. (Rick K.) We lived together for about five years in Huntsburg trying to control about six guys :) Many happy, and fun times I got to share with Allison, dog sitting for her "pumkin". She was such a beautiful young women. I will always remember the times we shared.. She will be truly missed.

I have known Allie as long as I can remember. My favorite times with her were playing air hockey in the basement, or family trips to Michigan at the cottage. She was my closest cousin ever, and I feel like she let me get close to her and know her in a different way than others. We had a special connection that will never be broken, and I will always love her. I know she is reading this and knowing how I feel. I hope you can be at peace now, Al.

Keith, Sue, Kristen and Jen,We are all so deeply saddened by the sudden passing of your dear Allison. There are no words to express our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. While there is nothing we can say that will ease your loss, we wanted you to know that we are grieving and thinking of you all. With love and sympathy, Tim, Cathy, Ricky and Timmy

She was a great person she helped me when I was at my lowest point in life.I will miss her caring loving energy..May we meet again allie in a better place..You will be missed and loved

I knew Allison from high school. Although we never hungout together, we were in a couple classes together. I knew her as a nice, funny person & will always remember her that way. I pray for her friends & family at this time.

allie was such an unique girl. always happy and wanting to have a good time. i will keep all our memories to heart love and miss you

I'm so sorry to hear about Allie's untimely passing. I still remember going on Girl Scout field trips in grade school and all of the hilarious times we had in elementary and high school. The informative video we made on the 60's was one of our best collaborations for American History. I'm sorry that I can't make the service, but you all are in my prayers.

My deepest condolences go out to Allison's family and friends. She was such a beautiful person and I'm honored that I got to know her again as adults. My prayers are with everyone that knew her.

Allison and i where best friends for along time we hung out almost every weekend and in school everyday. I will miss her terribly. it was not her time. it makes me incredibly sad to lose her. i will never forget you allie !!

Allison was one of my best friends in elementary school. I remember she was always smiling and laughing, and somehow hanging out with her made everything seem more fun. She will be sorely missed.

I lived with Allison and her family my senior year. Me and her were very close then. We had so much fun together. From our late night trips to Denny's or just siting there playing Jak and Daxter. She never failed to make me laugh and be a great friend. I'm very sorry to her family for there loss. And wish I could make it to her service. She will be in my heart forever and I'll never ever forget her. It's a great loss.

Keith & Sue, Words are so inadequate at such a tragic time but please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Our deepest sympathies to you and you families. Mack & Cynthia Ratcliffe
