With sincere sympathy on the loss of your loved ones to such a violent crime. May you seek comfort in knowing that God cares and will answer the cry of innocent victims as promised at Psalm 72:14 - "From oppression and from violence he will rescue them. And their blood will be precious in his eyes.

My prayers and deepest sympathies are with this family in their time of grief. My son was an innocent victim of the shooting that happened the week before. He made it through, but he could not have just as easily..... I grieve with you for your loss. No parent should have to feel such pain... My condolences to the family and may god watch over us all.

First Lady Vanessa Beasley

September 5, 2015

It's always complicated to know just the right words to say to comfort the family at such a time as this... Having been someone who's been where you are -I offer these words of condolences to the family:

In comfort to the Family of Alonna Allison:

Time will heal your wounds-

Please know that our Father is a sovereign God. -He does whatever pleases Him. He makes no mistakes. Alonna's life was cut short, but God already knew it would happen this way. Alonna's life was meant to bring many to the Lord and from the sounds of the testimony of soooo many -she left her mark on this earth even as Jesus did. I wish I would've had the opportunity to have met her face to face... However, after speaking with her bestie (Lauren Hudson) and her Pastor's wife (Pastor Jackie Howell) -I do feel like my life was also touched by Alonna's.

Live on Alonna -in the heart of many. We will see you again! Until we meet again R.I.H. Sweetie!!

My prayer to the family:
I speak God's comfort and Peace over the entire family -Receive Jesusu as your personal Lord and Savior and you will see Alonna again.
In Jesus's Matchless Name. Amen
