Alison, also known as “ChiChi” to her childhood friends, was a vivacious, athletic, intelligent and charismatic woman. She had the most clever sense of humor, and anyone who was lucky enough to hear her beautiful laughter will hold that sound dearly in the heart forever! She had a deep love of music as well as a strong devotion to her many pets. She was a protective and supportive mother, a devoted sister and she cherished her many friends. Lucky are those of us who knew her, loved her and were blessed to have shared in her life.
