Dear Bev and Charlie,
I was very sorry to hear of Alison’s unexpected passing.
We spent many hours on the phone talking and laughing in the past 8 years since Gary’s passing.
Also a fun reunion with Alison, Gretchen and I a couple of years ago.
We shared lots of laughter and fond memeories together.
She will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
