A colleague and mentor on the parish council, always ready and willing to help in anything you asked of him, a man who fought the fight for life will much gallantry and bravery, but most of all, my very dear friend who I will miss for the rest of my life... Sleep Well Derek.. much love..... Janet

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Derek Allison. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
