“Have fun, be safe, I love you”
Ally died on Wednesday, April 23, 2014, one day before her 24th birthday.
That morning she was taking Alex, Heather's fiancé, to work in Wales on her way to class at WCTC in Pewaukee. Unfortunately, they never made it. They both died in the car accident that morning. It has changed all of our lives forever.
Her headstone has many layers. The front has a quote of what she would say every time she left the house. In hindsight I'm glad for that, as we told each other we loved you all the time.
On the back are different pictures of her at various times in her short life.
The music is a couple measures of Ode to Joy. One of my favorite songs she played and practiced over and over.
The daisy was one of her favorite flowers and the hummingbirds represent her time with dad at our cottage in northern Wisconsin.
And finally, 'together forever KJG, MLH, APW' refers to her very best friends Kallie Gosh who died in a car accident in 2008, and Mike Harrison who died in 2011. She was devastated by these losses as were many people, and now they are together hanging out like usual.
Below is her obituary.

Sisters forever ♾️
It’s difficult to put into words what this day means and how much it’s affected every single person that loves you. Every year I try to write about it and I get stuck every time. All I can really say is, I love you. I love you. I love you. I miss you. I miss you. I miss you. I so badly wish this wasn’t a reality. “Death leaves a pain that nobody can heal.. but the love leaves a memory that nobody can steal”
Today
Today is the eve before the 10th year anniversary of your death. I still can't believe this happened. I love you so much and miss you more and more every day.
Forever in my heart
Thank you for making everybody around you feel so special. You truly were an angel. I’ll always cherish all the wonderful memories I have with you. The year I spent with you was the best year of my life.
Missing you
As time goes by without you and the days run into years. They hold a thousand memories and a thousand silent tears. Remembering you is easy we do it every day. Missing you is the heartache that never goes away.
