Story

Alyson was a  sparkling, energetic, happy 6 year old, who liked glitter tattoos, Hello Kitty, creating arts and crafts, and entertaining.  She was wise beyond her years, a defender of the weak, brave and courageous. She enjoyed singing, dancing, gymnastics, swimming, and softball.  We called Crusher because of her powerful spirit.  She was our end of the rainbow and our little pot of gold.  We miss her very much.  She was diagnosed in November of 2011, and gained her wings exactly a year later in 2012.
