In loving memory of

Allison Jane Dowd

11th January 1971 — 5th June 2026

After a battle against motor neurone disease of great strength and bravery, Allison passed away on Friday the 5th of June. She died suddenly and without pain, and was comfortable and communicative on the day of her passing.

One of her last messages was of a dream she had during her final night, in which she could breathe without a mask and run around. We take comfort knowing that she can enjoy these freedoms in her new home with the Lord.
