She is a treasure and I am thankful for her in my life. When Amorette (my 3rd daughter) got married she and Kristin came down to Vegas and saved my neck.. Nothing went as planned and they wound up decorateing for the wedding while I was on my way back from the Saint George Temple. I will treasure that memory. I met you years ago , but I have heard so many wonderful things about you from Allison..Thank you for sharing your thoughts and memories for us to enjoy.

We've turned in to a couple old weepy aunties. Lovely post. I've only met Allison once I believe for a short visit on our brunch Sundays on Park Street in SLC, but it feels like I've known her forever. She is truly a gem and I'm so thrilled that she has been there for you and Paul these past decades. I know Paul treasures both of your friendships greatly.

It was a joy, and I was just so happy that I had the funds available to do it. It wasn’t a sacrifice. It was a joy, and I was just so happy that I had the funds available to do it.

This makes the picture so much more valuable to me. I hope that one day, you and I can row that river together and that your camera can capture the beauty and inspiration that has stayed with me as I have lingered in the Utah desert. I love you my friend. Oh my dear Allison, I had no idea the sacrifce you and Mark made for me. This makes the picture so much more valuable to me.

Like those sticky balls kids would throw against the wall in the late 80s, early 90s and they'd slowly crawl/roll down.... Except this one would moan with obscene ecstasy as it it made its way down the wall. I think she tossed it out as an idea when were thinking of ideas of things we could create and sell at Deseret Book :) Sweet, innocent Annie :) Oh… and if I remember correctly, it was actually ANNIE who came up with the idea for BOB… the big orgasm ball.

Yes - I regularly claim that I got Kathy (and family) in the divorce : ) We've shared a lot of laughter and a lot of tears - but really, more laughter. Even in the tough times. Kathy's sense of humor is what helps her deal with crisis - and it's something I dearly love about her. You know, when I saw how taken you were with the painting - how you lingered by it, came back to it, reminisced about how it made you feel - it truly felt like <b>I was the one receiving the gift</b> when I was able to buy it for you. And I do have to give props to Mark - when I went home and told him I'd spent money from our small savings account, he was totally supportive. I still look at it as one of the best investments I've ever made - knowing how much comfort and joy it has brought you over the years. You really DID deserve it (and I think needed it). And the times I spent with your girls, after Tim's death, are treasured memories for me. It was in the middle of winter, and I recall taking them to a church parking lot - I think the night of the funeral - and let them use my car to spin doughnuts in the icy snow. And I took them to ZCMI where we spent a whole night driving sales ladies crazy as I had them try on fabulous evening gowns and prom wear. I'm really grateful for our friendship. You've been there for me as well and I consider you a true soul friend. If there is any truth to the idea of reincarnation, then I'm certain we've spent many lifetimes traveling together. Love you - P.S. I just pulled out my divorce papers and it appears I got Paul as well : ) Thank you for this sweet post, Kathy.

Clearly, I am in the majority when it comes to loving Allison. I did not intend to make anyone cry. My next post will be..... as my Monty Python friends would say.... completely different.

As a young kid during most of these times, I was pretty oblivious to what was going on, but I always knew I had a "cool" mom who loved me and believed in me. It's nice to see the effect's she's had in others lives, too. What a great example. Long live Allison (my mom)! What a great post and great memories!

That was beautiful. Craig's crying. The pictures of Annie were hard to see, yet great to see. Allison, you rock. Kathy, so do you. I’m still crying. That was beautiful. Craig’s crying.
