Alison Shepherd
Laura (Jonny), Dorothy, Gordon (Lorraine), Carolyn (Tim), Stephen (Leanne) and the wider family circle of the late Alison Shepherd (née Gray) wish to express our heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported us following the sudden and heartbreaking loss of our dearly loved Alison.
We have been deeply comforted by the kindness shown by all who called at her mum’s home, attended the service of thanksgiving, sent cards and messages, telephoned and helped in many practical ways. Alison was truly one of a kind — her uniquely laid-back, kind, fun and loving nature made people feel at ease. This has been made especially clear in the many stories shared by friends, past colleagues and the many groups she was part of, which have meant so much to us.
We are sincerely grateful to all who made donations to Lissan House Trust in her memory, a place that was special to her.
We also wish to thank R. Steenson & Son for their compassion, professionalism and guidance throughout.
The kindness, support and the many memories shared have brought us great comfort and will always be remembered with gratitude
