On this edition of Ask Allison, I'm doing something different. I'd like to share a little bit of what's going on with my family off screen with you. It's for everyone out there who has enjoyed the special love of a grandparent.
This week the world lost a phenomenal woman. Chances are you don't know her. She never made the news for winning any national or global awards, never wrote any legislation, never ran a city or a company.
What she did, and did well, was serve as the matriarch of my family for 96 years.
She was one of the greatest influences of my life.
This week we lost my grandmother, Phyllis Ann LaRoche.
