Allison Gray Kilway-Stovall

Allison, age 50, passed peacefully in her sleep on Tuesday morning, January 15, 2013 in The Woodlands, Texas. Allison was born in Houston on Oct. 8, 1962 to William Robert Gray and Karen Middaugh Gray; Allison was wife to her best friend and soulmate, Paul "Buzzy" Stovall, whom she met at age 7 and eventually married on January 14, 2011;she was the proud mother of two children, Taylor (24) and Travis (18); and sister of Annette and Stanley. Allison was a graduate of McCullough (The Woodlands) High School, Class of 1981, and continued living and raising her children in her hometown of The Woodlands. Allison was actively involved and well-known in The Woodlands community for continuously giving her time and helping others, without ever seeking anything in return. Allison left positive marks on the lives of so many people, and among the many charitable events that Allison organized was the Sparrow Clubs golf tournament where she raised over $20,000 for Lauren Lakin (age 5), who was suffering from congenital heart disease. What Allison never knew was that she too was suffering from heart disease herself. Allison's unexpected passing was due to an enlarged heart. Her "big heart" will forever be remembered.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."

I love you, Momma. You will always be my best friend.
