I found out mid shift, i blocked it out to get the day done with. But it still doesn’t feel real. I can’t believe you’re gone. We were just having beers together 3 nights ago. You were the craziest person I’ve ever known, a good kind of crazy. The best kind of crazy. You had a heart of gold and jokes that never ended. You are the reason I’m “rock n roll or nothing baby!!” You sent me to my first Alice Cooper concert even though you lived across the country. Tickets just showed up in the mail. You spent damn near everyday in the hospital with me bringing me whatever i wanted when I got in my accident. You were so selfless it was admirable. I hate the nickname Owie, but rn I’d love to here you say it again. I told you I loved you every time we saw each other, but it still wasn’t enough. The hugs could’ve been tighter. I will miss you like crazy and my future kids will definitely be told countless stories about you. You definitely left an impression on me. I loved you so so much Aunt Ally. I hope you’re rocking up there 🤘🤘💜💜💜.
Love,
“Your Owie”❤️
Stephanie Maahs
You will forever be in my heart. You brought so much happiness to our family. Christian will never forget his first time driving with you. I try to think you are happy with dad and Misty but it’s not enough some days. I wish I could have one more call, one more laugh, one more hug. You were more than I could ever hope for in a mom. I love you always. Your baby girl, Stephanie
Kay Webster
My sincere condolences to the entire family. May time heal your sorrow. Love and hugs, Kay
