Dear JD BR,
Thank you from the heart for letting us know that Allana has passed. And I am so deeply grateful for your effort through the pain of grief to give us this devastating update. How wonderful to know Allana had a friend who loved her deeply ❤️ The days have been very difficult praying her through the pain, not knowing. Allana was brilliant in design and in life and I am forever changed for knowing her. She took a piece of my heart with her…and forever leaves the aspiring question, “What would Allana do?” She had the “biggest big girl panties” as she took on the care of her mum, then her dad while juggling her own life and the needs of her Houzz friends as well. She had a graceful firm leadership style, taking up the reins (especially for Seajay) when action was needed. She was a woman of action and had an arm long enough to reach across the miles to smack us back into line! What a big hole she has left in my life…On all our treasure hunts, I realize Allana and the moments we spent together, is the greatest treasure find of all. Dear Lord, we thank you Allana is out of pain and reunited with the ones she loved. We miss her dearly but thank you for the precious moments spent together and for the beauty and friendship she brought into our lives. I dare say, heaven may be redesigned by the time we meet up! JD BR, I am so sorry for you loss and reaching across the miles with a big big hug. I will message for the link. Thank you again for letting us know ❤️ One. last. Goodnight Allana, 😘 until we meet again…XOXO, Daphne
