Allison
You were the best sister in the whole world, yes we had our ups and downs but what mattered most is that we were always best friends and needed each other no matter what. We have done so much together and the day I saw you come off that plane and you ran into my arms, I saw the little girl you were. I’ve always tried to protect you from everything but at some point you had to take your own path of life and i realized I couldn’t protect you forever. But for the time you were here, im glad that I was your shoulder to lean on when there were things you didn’t want to talk to anyone else about. You will always be in my heart my beautiful baby sister. I love you till the end. You were and still are my everything no matter what. I love you, rest easy beautiful girl. 💜

Sandy, Ashley and family.
My heart literally bleeds for you. I remember Allison was a little jokester. She always kept me laughing. I will forever remember her as a funny little girl who was so talented with her drawings even back then.
Know that I am here for you always no matter time of day. I love you all. Praying for you all during this most difficult time in your lives.

allison, my heart broke when i heard the news. when you moved away in elementary school i was so sad, i never thought that would actually be the last time i ever saw you.. you never failed to make me laugh, i still remember the weird nicknames we made for each other in 3rd grade. i wish i reached out to you more, ill never forget running to my computer everyday after school so we could play roblox together. now you remind me everyday to keep going. i’m so lucky i had the pleasure of being your friend. till we meet again🩷

im sorry things ended the way they did with us allison, but never in a million years did i stop loving you, you had such a fun personality and you were able to express through art and that was so beautiful. Our server with all our friends where we would play games and just have a good laugh and us at the time flirting and finally hanging out was honestly life changing. You were my first real relationship and that’s something ill never let go of, you and ur mother did so much for me too when i was there in florida and those memories are forever cherished. I wanted to watch your passion in art grow and grow, i wanted to see the growth happen even if it was from afar. Im sorry no one was there to help you through your struggles, im sorry they didnt help, it pains me to think about the fact no one tried to help you when they knew you were struggling in that moment and i know you cant read people but i know things would be different. I hope you are doing so good wherever you are allie, i hope you come back as something so so beautiful. I love you forever. i miss you.
