I am deeply saddened by Allison's passing. I only had the pleasure of knowing Allison for a couple of years through our breast cancer support group, but I am so thankful I had the opportunity to meet her! Allison was one helluva cool lady and I'm truly honored that the powers that be allowed me into her life, even if it was just for a short time. She was a truly special person with many gifts and I will never forget her. I am so very sorry for your family's loss. Keeping you all in thoughts and prayers.

We are saddened by the loss of your spitfire Allison. We were lucky enough to share many days with her as she and Megan and Allison grew through grade school thru college. Wow was that a gang in 7th grade. She looked so beautiful in Allison's wedding and we are lucky to be her friends. Blessings to all of you. John and Karen Swatek
