Alison’s Story

Site created on April 16, 2023

**please  no donations at this time. Any donation made at this site go to caring bridge and not to Alison.** After battling breast cancer for 12 years, Alison is currently battling Leptomeningeal Carcinomatosis. LC is cancer of the spinal fluid. Her main symptom is extreme nausea and on  April 10 a shunt was placed to hopefully alleviate this.   We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.

Journal entry by Marie Powers

Alison is finally at peace. She passed last night with Andrew and Stephanie by her side. We are so sad but we are relieved she is done suffering. We knew after her initial diagnosis that this day would come. We are so proud of Alison and how brave she was through this whole process. We love her so much and she will be missed tremendously. Alison  talked about how lucky she was to have this time to see everyone and speak to all the people she loved. She knew she was loved and she got to see the positive impact she had on all the people in her life. 
We are devastated  to lose a daughter/Sister/aunt/ friend but we will all keep her in our hearts for eternity.

Thank you to all of you who have shared well wishes and prayers for our Alison. These posts and reply’s have been positive impact through this very tough time.

Alison has always said she was a spiritual person but not religious and she did not want a funeral or wake. We will be planning a celebration of life in the spring to celebrate her beautiful life.
