Remembering Alyson Kaplan (A person of passion and compassion)
Westlake Magazine April 2003

Alyson Kaplan was a young woman with dreams, and she actively pursued those dreams. She exuded a sense of wonder, and had a childlike curiosity. Alyson wanted to swim with the dolphins, was challenged by new events, and found immense joy in living. She had a passion for life and compassion for the needs of both people and animals. Her exemplary dedication touched everyone she met, as did her compelling smile.

Alyson adored her family. Home to her was a safe harbor where she could drop anchor and enjoy the surrounding waters of love and nurturing with those closest to her.

At the young age of 20, her life was taken, but the glow of Alyson's contributions to the human spirit continues to shine brightly. Her beautiful memory will always be with us, as we continue to feel the impact of her presence. She may be silent now, but we will continue to hear the music of her life.

We also honor those who are no longer with us except in our memory: The moms, the dads, the grandparents, the children and family members. The Providers The Protectors The Caretakers The Role Models and The Nurturers
