Dear Alison - I have so many wonderful memories that keep you with me in my heart! I loved your beautiful smile and laugh and your goofiness at times! I remember going to the beach with you in Hawaii when we were kids and playing in the sand and riding the waves together, and a few years ago going to Cardiff beach with you, Terry, Jennifer, Mike and Jack! I remember our picnics at San Dieguito Park playing badminton and croquet. I remember the fun we had taking horseback riding lessons when we lived in Virginia. I remember you sending me cookies at Christmas time when you lived in Florida. I remember the many pool parties we had over the years for birthdays and other special occasions. I remember having lunch with you at Samurai Restaurant and other Japanese restaurants - you loved the miso soup, steak teriyaki and tempura. I remember how much you loved the Snow White Chicken from King's Garden. We had such a nice time at Sea World nights. We had fun baking Christmas cookies and fruitcake. Last year we had a lot of fun at our New Years Eve celebration - everyone loved all of the great food we prepared, including the cheese puffs and meatballs! Of course I will always remember how much you loved German chocolate cake! When I admire your flower pen bouquets or ring one of your bells I can feel you close by. You loved going to garage sales with Terry and always found a good deal - you had a wonderful Barbie collection. You found beautiful crystal dolphins for me! I remember playing with our Barbie dolls together when we were young! I love to wear the blue topaz ring you gave me, and spritz on your favorite White Shoulders perfume. When I see the hummingbirds outside I think of you! The wildflowers Dad planted in your memory are growing. I can't wait for them to bloom! We miss you so much Alison. You were a wonderful sister, daughter, wife, mother, aunt and friend. You will live in our hearts forever. I love you so much Alison, my beautiful Sister, my Friend. Love, Cindy XXXOOO
