I met Alison through Karen Rice Gill Wulff. As Christians, we all loved Jesus and had very much in common. I used to spend my Sunday afternoons at Alison's home in Farmington, giving her my arms and legs and assisting her in any work she wanted done, We often would pray, there was so much on her heart for God to fix or mend, She was a wonderful friend and I enjoyed her company. I was very sadden to find she had passed away. I will truly remember her always.
Being four years younger, my spending time with an older kid was a big deal. I remember Alison taking me to the playground at Midvale. The bandages on my recently scraped knees prevented me from bending them, so Alison energetically pushed me on the swing, running underneath me to be sure I soared ever higher.
When teenage Alison came with her family to visit my family in California, I was so flattered when Alison asked to listen to my Dueling Banjos album, over and over again. This young kid felt pretty cool. I still have that Dueling Banjos album - - I will play it a little longer next time. I will be smiling with you, Alison!

We have happy memories of a bubbly Michigan teenager who always made us feel so happy when we saw her. To all her family, please know how much we care.

Alison was my first friend when we moved to Birmingham, Mich. in the middle of the 5th grade. We laughed, played guitars, rode bikes around the neighborhood, got carpooled to jr. high and got into a little trouble at our first "teen" parties. We had a blast! Carry on, Alison.
