Remembrances

Allyson is my first cousin. Her mother and my father were siblings. We don't have a large family. There were only 10 first cousins on my father's side. It's probably more than 10 years ago that Allyson visited Wisconsin. She used my home as her base and visited as many members of our family that were in our vicinity. She reciprocated seven years ago when three of us flew out to Seattle for four days where she graciously hosted us in true Allyson fashion. This past winter, she and I had several conversations, so this came as a great surprise to me, as well as many others, to learn of her death. I will miss her...she was such a good, caring person. But if you knew her, you already recognize that.
