Saying goodbye to a dear friend

Oh Dear. I am so sad to hear this. She was such a source of inspiration when I first joined the site. I will miss her cheery posts.

Love to all xxxxx

Absolutely devastated to hear the sad news about Alison . Alison inspired, encouraged and blessed so many of us with her kind, wise words, her pithy wit and her empathetic, no-nonsense approach. Her gentle, reassuring  presence will be missed  on the forums. I know Alison had a strong faith, so until we meet again, rest in peace in the Father’s arms, my lovely friend. I never met Alison in person but it has been an absolute privilege and joy to have known her in this setting. Deepest condolences to Alison’s family. Love from Fairycake xx

So sorry to hear this very sad news about Alison who took so much time to help others with her posts.

She was such a support when I was diagnosed as were others and for that I am so grateful.

My thoughts are with her family.

Love Dove xx 

I'm sorry to hear this tragic news and send my deepest condolences and prayers to her family. Whilst I never met her she was a source of inspiration to me and many others and was always there to encourage everybody whether established in their journey or newly diagnosed. Her cheery,positive posts will be so missed on this forum as will her advice and helpful suggestions. Be at peace now with our loving father Allison and may your family draw strength and comfort from him at this very difficult time. God bless. Love lamb xx

I’m so very sorry to hear such upsetting news. Alison was one of the very first people who reached out to me 2 yrs ago and has remained a friend every since. Even when she was a facing a difficult time herself, she was always there for me. She’ll always be in my thoughts, I’ll never forget her. Sending all my love and deepest condolences to her family.

Such sad news, I really have no words. My thoughts are with her nearest and dearest xx.

I'm deeply saddened by the passing of Alison. Despite her own illness, she was always there for everyone with a helpful and compassionate word of advice.

She will be sadly missed. My heart goes out to her family. May you find peace.

Alison was a dear person and I will miss her compassion, her common sense and her feisty humour.  When I was diagnosed and going through treatment she was such a reassuring presence on the forum and her many words of wisdom and encouragement helped me through (and often made me smile).  I am very thankful to have known her through this forum and am deeply sorry to hear of her death and my thoughts are with her family.   GBear will you be able to pass on everyone's condolences to her family?

I will certainly mention these lovely messages to her family, when they are ready and if they want to read them, but I do know that they know how much everyone loved and respected Alison already and also how much we want to support them now during this difficult time. 

I know I was personally davasted by her death and I had very recently been talking to Alison and how much she continued to care and advice everyone even though she was going though a bad time herself, her wit and pure empathy is very much missed. Plus I can never fully show how much I appiecated her as a friend who privately helped me during a time of lose of faith and I just don't know how I can express that feeling, but I hope her family will one day read the lovely messages and how much Alison meant to us.

Gentle hugs to all
