Obituary of Alison MacIntosh

The life of Alison brightened the lives of others. All who knew Alison will in some way be saddened to learn that her time here with us has ended; far too soon for those of us she leaves behind. We know her presence and essence is with us, but resting breathlessly, preparing to find wonder, beauty and humour, in whatever else the Universe holds, beyond the brief time we shared here together with her. We can look forward and hope that we can be reunited in some way we can't now know or understand. We can smile through our tears now, while we hope and remember. The flowers: their beautiful faces everywhere today, with a tear of adoration, honour Alison and acknowledge her special talent, which allowed her to help and make them be even more beautiful. They loved her as much as she loved them. They will forever hold her presence, sharing it to remind us of Alison in the beauty of their lovely colour, form and fragrance. Alison passed away at Lisaard House on Saturday, February 2, 2013 at the age of 58. For those who share the memory of Alison, please join us to recall and celebrate her life during a memorial gathering in the Fireside Reception Room of the Erb & Good Family Funeral Home, 171 King St. S., Waterloo on Saturday, February 9, 2013 from 6 - 9 p.m. Eulogies and remembrances will begin at 7:30 p.m. Cremation has taken place.
