My youngest angel Allison passed away unexpectedly but peacefully on Friday, July 18th. Her life was full of challenges, from spending the first weeks of her life in the NICU, to struggling with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis during most of her life, to the unexpected loss of her mother when she was just 16.

May our savior Jesus Christ welcome you with a loving embrace and fill you with everlasting peace and rest.
