3		It’s who you are, not what you achieved As the quote goes, ‘it’s not what is written on tomb stones but what is engraved in the hearts and experiences of others that counts’. Now I’m not saying your management reports aren’t worthy of a note on your tombstone, just that we’ll remember you for being a breath of fresh air in the office.

4		You changed me From time to time, someone comes along who makes a real difference in your world. Someone who sees in you more potential than you see in yourself, and then quietly helps you fulfil it. Allison, you were that person for me - and for several others standing here. Please know that while you may be gone, you’ll never be forgotten.
