Dearest Brett, Alfie and Journey. I have never met you but I wanted you to know how sad I am for you. I went to school with Alison and we have kept in touch over the years especially through social media. I remember that laugh of Alison very clearly. She was utter sunshine. Always. She treated everyone with kindness and always looked as though she was so pleased to see you. I admired her pics and busyness with the kids. Such a devoted mum. So bloody unfair! I wish you much strength!
