Allison Wyatt Obituary
She loved her teachers and her family. Sometimes, she'd make her parents laugh so hard they cried. She wanted to be an artist, and her drawings would be taped to the walls as if the house were an art studio.
"Allison made the world a better place for six, far too short, years and we now have to figure out how to move on without her," her family said in a statement. "She was a sweet, creative, funny, intelligent little girl who had an amazing life ahead of her. Our world is a lot darker now that she's gone. We love and miss her so much."
Her grandparents' church in Dayton, Ohio, encouraged parishioners to pray for the family.
On Friday, after news of the shooting broke, one of Allison's aunts posted on Facebook that her nieces attended Sandy Hook school, and asked for prayer. "One is fine and the other is missing at this time," she wrote. "We are remaining positive at this time and counti ng on the power of prayer."
Later, after news of Allison's death, she asked for prayer again.

I just wanted to reach out today to your family and let you know you are in my prayers. Not a December has passed that I haven't thought of everyone in your community impacted by this senseless act. I specifically always think of your daughter and your family because my youngest was in 1st grade at the time of the shooting and your daughter reminds me so much of her in looks and based on what you have shared, her demeanor as well. Please know I will NEVER FORGET and will hold your family up in prayer knowing that you will see Allison again one day in our everlasting home with our Savior. May God continue to watch over and bless you all with extra comfort and love.

I deeply grieve over the loss of this innocent, seet little girl, and her classmates and dedicated teachers and Principal due to this senseless act. I have such a hard time believing that something like this could happen in our country. Allison looked like someone who could brighten anyone's day and I am sure that her art has an abundance of bright, cheery colors. My deepest sympathy.

Torn from Earth without goodbyes
There are no reasons for our why's
He had no right , their lives to take
He had no right our hearts to break
Children ripped from parents arms
No longer can they hold
Stories of their lives to come
Will now remain untold
Our heartd will forever keep them near
Our memories, we hold them dear
Now in Heaven souls set free
Exploring how to use their wings
Dancing, artists,horseback riding
Firemen,baseball,kung fu fighting
Soccer,diving,train #7
All these things they have in Heaven
Tears will fall to eaxe our pain
But only until we meet again
So on this 14th of December
26 angels......we'll remember

In Loving Memory of Allison "Allie" Wyatt
Your sweet and funny Allie left for heaven one year ago today.
And the ache in your heart just won't go away.
She was your life line in viewing the beauty of the world
As well as keeping the heads of her grandfathers in a whirl.
Allie enjoyed laughing and being goofy, silly and sweet
She was kind to the young and old, just whomever she would meet.
She was a blooming artist with a creative mind
Her art work all over her home you can find.
With her imagination in the way she looked at life
Was good therapy for every day strife.
She could put a stranger at ease showing she cared
With the last of her goldfish crackers she was willing to share.
When she met Jesus at the heavenly gate
To share her goldfish she didn't hesitate.
And when asking Him a question He never answers with 'because'
Why that's against the heavenly laws!
To be a teacher her dream has come to pass
She's teaching reading and math to her class.
And her art studio is spread all over heaven
Her creativity is amazing for a little girl of seven.
So let's live our lives as Allie would wish
Be loving and kind and share our gold fish.
And let's celebrate her life as a precious gift
With your face toward heaven lift.
As you search the sun, the moon and the stars for a glimpse of her sweet face
Know that she's happy and in a much better place.
So bow your head in the most earnest prayer and say
"Thank you dear Lord, 'ere the time be so short, for sending her my way."
