She had a happy and healthy upbringing, and she loved us very much. When she turned eighteen, our daughter was free to make her own decisions, and she chose to not be a part of this life anymore. Her dad, siblings, and I have nothing to do with this decision, as we have always supported her and given her love. I am distraught by the unfounded rumors that this family mistreated Allison in any way or was to blame for the terrible thing that happened to her when she was twelve.
