Dear Don and Susan-
Allyson was so special to my family, babysitiing any moment she had free. My children are devastated, as I am. I hope you can find peace in your loss in the years to come because she was so special! We will miss her sweet smile and all the laughter and sunshine she brought to our family. My belly ached on many occassions when she pulled her car out of the driveway. Her light to the world was contagious. Bless you and my heart goes out to you both.
Love,
Sharon Kucharski

I would like to take this opportunity to speak about little person full of life and fire. Allyson Key was a part of my life and I am grateful for the time we were able to share together. Our friendship and times together started over 20 years ago and it seems as though it went by as fast as the blowing out of a candle. I will never forget you and the joy you brought to so many. You were always ready to enjoy the best of life as well as to fight for the things you desired most and you lived life to the fullest. You enjoyed helping people and had a contagious laugh that would fill a room. Your smile seemed to light up the room and bring warmth to all who saw it. You will be sincerely missed by myself and the many you touched. May God be with your family, friends, and everyone who ever knew you. With love and Sincerity, Rod

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8: 37-39
