Allison was a beautiful person with a vivacious smile. She had a unique personality that partly manifested itself in her style, which might be best described as purposely off kilter. I always respected her ability to be comfortable with herself and am very sad to learn that she has already passed away.Amy Martin (Seagraves)
Allison was one of my very good friends in high school. She was very polite and always had wonderful things to say about everyone she knew. She had a zest for life that was contagious. I'm sad she won't have the chance to raise her children. The world is a lonelier place without her.Heather Smith (Moore)
Allison and I stayed close throughout our lives, until she was taken from us last year. She was a loving mother and wife. For me she was the best friend I ever had. She was the best person I ever knew, and she is missed by so many.Cai Black
Allison was one of my favorite people in high school, and I am deeply saddened to learn of her passing.Christopher Williams
I remember Allison for the many laughs we shared and the rides home from school. I will miss her but will always feel blessed because I knew her.Michelle Nymeyer (Lewandowski)
We spent a lot of time together in high school and had a lot of fun. I can still picture you sitting in your chair in high school - holding your violin. It was such a blow to hear all you went through - and to hear that you are gone.There was that time in high school - when I was coming over to pick you up after work so we could go to an Orchestra party we were both missing (unbeknown to either set of parents). My car stalled and I had to wake your parents so I could call mine (no cell phones, then). I think both of us were in big trouble. :)
Allison, you are missed. You are remembered with much love and fond memories. I am so sorry that I only just found out...
Sincere sympathy to your beautiful family,
Michelle Nymeyer

I first met Allison when we played soccer together in elementary school. We stayed friends all the way through high school. She was a great friend and a beautiful person. I'm so sorry to hear that she has passed.
