March 27, 1972 – November 6, 2012
Allison was suddenly and tragically drawn from our sight, but not from our hearts. We still feel her presence just around the corner. Missing her desperately are beloved husband, David; treasured children, Olivia and Max; parents, Catherine and Randy Panter; brother, Andrew and Kyla; grandmother, Ruth Panter; fond aunts, uncles, cousins, many Lessard connections from the east, and many close friends, especially Hanna and Jen. Her gift for loving sustained us all. Her artistry, singing and storytelling inspired us.
Family and friends are gathering to share memories at Allison’s favorite place, The Darwinian Gardens at Becher Bay on Saturday, November 17, 2012 (1:00 pm – 4:00 pm). Candles will be lit at 2pm.
In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to Metchosin WildArc Rescue or the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Dear Catherine and Randy,
Our sincerest condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with both of you and your family at this very difficult time.
Sincerely,
Fritzie, Radek, and Tereza
We were shocked to hear of Allisons death. We did not know her well, but every time she came in the store she would tell me what she was up to: raising ducks, worrying about her house, making jewelry, her grandmothers passing.
Our brief encounters were always full.
Our hearts go out to Olivia and Max and David: she was creative, lovely and radiant, and we will miss her coming though the door to share her day with us.
