Dear Al
I’m sorry we didn’t get to chat before you had to go. I am forever grateful for your loving influence in my life. Thank you for showing us all how to finish well.

My deepest condolences to the entire family. She was a loving friend. We were so different yet somehow this woman accepted me for me. We connected over knowing about Johnny Burger and from then all the strange connections of her family and mine. We laughed a lot. Would meet up for 3-4 hour dinners. She made me part of her family and will forever be grateful for that. My love to the family. She will be forever missed. Loved her so much.

I knew Alison in capacity of "boss" and "friend" and she excelled at both. Life took us on different paths these past few years but she always had real estate in my heart! And she always will. Wherever heaven is, there is Alison!
My heartfelt condolences to all of her family.
