Add memories that will last forever

Not sure what to say?

November 3, 2020

Ali was the brightest light of them all. She was one of those people where you had no idea how you two could have crossed paths, but doing so was one of the best things to happen to you. She taught me how to shake things off, be empathetic, make light out of every situation she came across, and so much more. I never realized how deeply she impacted me and my outlook on life. I miss her more than ever, but I know her soul is living through all of us.

Sending love to the Cullinane family.

After going to school with Ali for four years, I was lucky and proud to call her my friend. She was an absolutely amazing person and had the most exuberant personality. I want you to know that you raised a beautiful daughter of whom I will never every forgot. She is still, and will forever be, in my heart. I am so sorry for your loss.

I was not extremely close with Ali, but I was lucky to call her a friend. Her presence, kindness, and amazing personality will never be forgotten. I think about her everyday and wish more than anything to bring her home. My sincerest condolences.

This news broke my heart. I knew Ali through the Danigelis family and will always remember her strong spirit. The last time I saw her I actually did her makeup on Halloween. Though I am a stranger to your family, please know that I and many others have you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Rest In Peace, Ali.

I remember the memories Ali and I shared as young kids. In Palm Desert, to both having the name Ali/Aly, the swim team, and St Matthew days. I will never forget her she made a genuine impact on my life. She was always so bright, beautiful, and funny. She will always be one of my best friends. My Condolences to your family. I will never forget her, Rest in Paradise ❤

Lisa & Kevin,

I was so heartbroken to hear the news.
I just happen to be at Cal Club on Wednesday and some guys were talking about the tragedy and mentioned Cullinane. I immediately got the chills when I confirmed it was you.

I am thinking about you and sending my love.

So so sorry.

Ali was a great girl who was passionate about a lot of things and had a big heart. Even though I only knew her for 2 years she was a girl who will always be remembered and made an impact on my life.

I was not particularly close with Ali but about three years ago I was lucky enough to have her impact my life significantly. She was one of the most embracing people I had ever encountered and as soon as I met her she held a special place in my heart. I will never forget how she made everyone around her feel accepted and cared for. I was deeply saddened to hear the news of her passing and my heart goes out to her family and close friends. She will forever be in our hearts.

I got to meet Ali my freshman year, I met her over a mutual friend. I would always see her give advise to my friend about persevering in school and accomplishing her goals, As I started talking to her the first thing that came to my mind was wow she is really pretty and I love her personality. Her personality is bright! Getting to know her was a great experience because she was unique in everyway, she would give you advise when u need them and help you perservear in life giving you the positivity and strength to keep on going in life even though you feel like you are just going to give up on ur studies and everything that comes with it. She could light up your day when everything seems so dull just by talking to her and laughing with her. Yes I didn't get to know her as well as I hoped to have but getting to know her was something that I will never forget. We will miss you Ali and always have you in our hearts.
