I was fortunate to get to know Allegra in high school. Her kindness and sense of humor made her a cherished friend of mine. I still remember many of the times when Allegra made me laugh while having a class together. I recently heard from Allegra and am very saddened that we did not get to catch up as planned. I pray that God comforts Allegra’s family and friends through their sorrow. Thank you for the nice memories, dear friend.
