To The White Family: I just heard about Allison's passing yesterday and I am in shock and terribly sorry. Allison and I were friends in High School at AVHS and in cheerleading together there as well. She was always so upbeat, happy and smart. It's so tragic that this world has lost someone so wonderful and beautiful! I am terribly sorry for your loss and pray you are all doing well and that God is by your side giving you peace every day.

I miss you more and more everyday Ally. The more I work, doing what we both love so much, the more I think of you and wonder why you are not there with me. I wish more than anything that I could have seen you one last time....one last good time with you. You hold a very special place in my heart and I will love and miss you always.

Still thinking of you everyday sweetie - I miss you very much and my heart hurts that you are gone. I love you very much and am grateful for all our wonderful memories together. Thanks for being my best friend and the most sincere friend anyone could ever have. You always looked out for me and lit up the room when you walked in. Thanks for being a light in my life as well and such a wonderful chatterbox! I won't be there for a long time - I want to watch my kids grow up and get really old myself - but save me a seat girl cuz' I know heaven is where we will meet again. I bet you have the most beautiful pair of wings! I love you girly!

To the White Family:

I am one of Allison's nursing classmates. She sat directly across from me. I was awe struck at her nursing genius, as she always made one of the highestest scores in the class, and I especially remember how she would be through with her hour long test in ten minutes and ace it. I just could not grasp her intelligence. Allison stood out in the class and was admired by all who knew her. Although I was all to briefly touched by Allison, I will never forget her. My deepest sympathies to your family.
Sincerely,
Denisa Money

Unfortunately...I did not get to know Allison personally. Although, when the TSU nursing class came together, she stood out in the crowd. She loved her job, she loved nursing, and she loved to share what she knew with others. Allison will truly be missed by all of her friends and family. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

You will never be gone to me - you are truely alive in my heart and I promise you that I will keep you alive in my childrens lives as well. You a beautiful sweet girl - beautiful.

Dear White Family: I knew Allison back in Norcross, GA when she was still a little girl. Your home was like my second home. I think I spent every day over there. Allison was always the "pesky little sister" that Ginger and I never wanted around BUT I loved her none the less...even the day I slammed her finger in the door (accidentally of course!). I simply cannot believe she is gone. My heart goes out to each of you: Ginger, John, Mr. White and Mrs. White. May Allison now rest in peace and that peace will be with the rest of you. I love you all!

"...My life is like a circle
meeting at some point.
We live, we learn, we love, we play,
we laugh, we cry, and then someday
we all find peace within our souls
we've searched for along the way."

God bless you, Allison, and all those who love and miss you.

I really loved Allison. She was a wonderful friend and will be missed more than I can ever express. She was always there for me, through thick and thin, we were always so close. We had so many good times together and she was a very true friend. Words just cannot express the lose I feel and I can't even imagine how her family feels at this point. At least I know I have the most beautiful angel in heaven on my side. Favorite memories of Allison......correcting me daily in scrub schoool, the Prince concert, dead cell phones, Wide Spead Panic, the ride to Vanderbilt when Matt broke his leg at the Foo Fighters concert.......and the best of all, when my chihuahua Yoda broke his back, Allison went to a doggie bakery and bought him a doggie cake. We loved and will miss you more than you will ever know Allison. Our hearts are broken,
Robin, Matt, and the chihuahuas ~ Yoda, Sugar, and Johnny.......you will be missed so much.

I just got back from vacation yesterday when I heard the news. I knew I had to find Allison's obituary so that I could express my deepest sympathy to her family and friends! I went to high school with Allison. She was actually closer with the girls I hung out with than me but never the less, to know Allison was to love her. Very sweet, always nice. Just an all around good person. She will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. And with Allison's friends as well.

The White family,
After attending the visitation tonight for Allison, I can truly see that she was loved from all that had an opportunity to know her. I would just like to say to mom and dad what a great job you did at raising Allison. She was a person who loved a challenge, but had all the answers. A smart and intelligent young lady she was.
The wonderful world of healthcare will truly miss having an exellent nurse aboard their team. May the Lord give you the strength to carry on during this time of sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
