Allison R. Porto

Allison is not forgotten. Just the other day I was telling my little boy about Coach Porto and his son Jeff and his sister Allison, the nice girl in my class, who liked to be silly and loud but was also very sensitive and kind.

God bless you all, I haven't forgotten any of you, and certainly not my old St. Stanislaus School classmate Allison Porto.

Missing you just as much today as all those years ago. Your laughter is fading in my memory and that’s what hurts the most. Wish you were here so we could still be making memories and also so you could meet Ryker. I’d love to see who you’d be today. I love you. And I can’t wait to see you again some day.

Thinking of you today pretty girl

Allison, More than ten years after the fact I still remember our chance meetings at Pizza Pub and at Mo' High. You will forever be in my most precious thoughts of my life. Rest in Peace

Allison,

I started randomly thinking of you. Thinking of long nights that we all worked together and talked. The times we all laughed, and I realized, wow, 5 years has gone by, and you have missed so much. You were an amazing person. You lit up the room when you entered. You were a good person. You are now at rest in God's graces. To your family, they can never recover what they have lost. There will always be a void. There will always be a spot int heir hearts for you as well as your friends and coworkers. I am still in shock that you were lost too soon. Nothing can be said or done to bring you back, but I had nightmares many nights after leaving work thinking I had driven tired so many times, and thinking of you and what happened. It is a tragedy. I become overcome with sadness at the thought of what happened. May God bless your soul, and may you live in Heaven watching over all that you loved and cared about and all that love and care about you.

I often think of us sitting at work at night complaining about it being too cold, and trying to keep each other awake. I miss those nights. I often think of those nights. I had trouble sleeping for a very long time, and you are often in my thoughts. I just wanted to say that no matter what, you will always come up in my thoughts, and you will live through everyone whose life you touched. I am so sorry you are gone, and honestly, I would give up so much to go back to those nights...it feels like another life time...it feels like you've gone away on extended vacation, and every time I look at your picture, I cry. I miss those nights. I miss all of us talking. One thing I have learned, to be thankful for every day because one day you could be happy and healthy with such a bright future, then next you could be taken away from this world so quickly. I learned this, and I have become a lot more appreciative because of you. I have become a better person because of you.

God Bless your soul. Rest in Peace Angel.

Dear Allie, are you and Grandpa Silva having a good time? I miss both of you more than life itself. I hope to be with the two of you soon. The days go by so slowly without you. My heart is broken but when I see you it will be whole again. Love, Grandma Silva

Allison, I miss and love you very much

Dear Allie, Grandpa is now with you. I miss him so much,all I want to do is be with him. He missed you, his first little elf at Christmas time. We all miss you Allie. Love, Grandma Silva

I wish you were here.

Sorry I'm a day late on here, Allie. Happy Birthday girl! I went and saw you yesterday... I love living closer because now I can come by anytime. Your family came out while I was there. It's always great seeing them. I learn more about you all the time through them and (of course) it always makes me smile (although I still believe I know you pretty darn well!! :) ). I love sharing stories about you with them. Sometimes I still don't believe you're gone. One thing is for sure... You may be gone, but you will NEVER be forgotten. You will always live in my heart. Happy 27th birthday Beautiful Bestie!!

I miss you each and every day that passes by, I love you so much Allison.

Allison I miss you each day that passes by, I love you so very much.

Happy Birthday, Al. I love you and miss you so much.

I miss you

Alli,

I miss you just as much today as I have since you left us to join God. You are in my thoughts every single day. I know that they say that time heals all wounds, but it hasn't yet. The only thing that gives me peace is knowing you are in Heaven and knowing that I will see you again someday. Keep watching over all of us. I love you so much.

Alli,
I think of you often and I pass by you everyday that I work at the hospital. I say Good Morning to you and I smile. I can't believe it is almost 3 years. I know that you are around me in some way. I miss you more than I can say.

The other Ali

Alli, thinking about you on your birthday and always . Miss you terribly.

Alli,

I miss you dearly. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Happy 24th birthday sweetie! I hope you had a blast up there in Heaven--enjoying your day!

Alli,

I think about you everyday. I wish you were here to celebrate your birthday. Life will never be the same without you. I miss you.

Alli,

There are so many days I wish you were here to give me advice... I miss talking to you. You always knew how to brighten my day and make me smile. I miss you so much Alli.

Love you always.

alli-
I know it has taken a really long time to sign this or even look at this. it has been over a year now and i think about you all the time. over the past year, there has been so many occasions where you would have been there and this is when i miss you the most: fantasy football, hollidays, shopping in the city, cinco de mayo... and so much has changed with you gone. I love you.
-Sophie

Allison... went by friday to see you, and I know you were there with me, you are with me every time I go. I feel this warm breeze when I seat there, talking to you and get the cold chills when I am saying my goodbyes before I leave, bc ou dont want to be lonely, but I promise, I will be back againg, so send some love with you again.... take care

Alison,

I remember working with you few years ago.. I was horrified when I heard this. I remember working nights with you and during those slow hours we'd chatter for hours on end keeping each other awake and having some form of entertainment. I didn't know you that well, but I really will miss you. You were a charming and cute girl who was embraced by many who were around you. Much love

I still don't understand why you were taken from me. All I know is that I love you so very much. You're my guardian angel.

Love, Your Sister

Our prayers and thoughts are with your family. I hope you put your arms around them and give them comfort. You will forever be their angel. The families of St. Stanislaus School are so proud to have the new field in your honor. Thinking of you often.
The Grimes Family.

I miss you more and more everyday...

I can never forget your smile and laughter in Ferreira class. We will one day sit together again in a class room.

Alli,
It is so hard to believe that it has been one year since you've been gone. We think about you daily and you will be in our hearts forever.
Love you. Miss you.

<33

All I can say is... I miss you.

Alli... its still not real that you are gone... all I know is God has a very special friend and turned you into a very beautiful angel...







....until we meet again....

To the Porto Family,

We were unaware of your loss until today. Our deepest sympathy in your loss. I had the honor of seeing Allison after many many years, as she was our hostess at a business meeting we were having at Hero's a few months back. I didn't recognize her, but she recognized me, and we had a nice little chat and update on the families. What a delightful and beautiful young lady she had become. Again, our deepest sympathy, and you are in our thoughts.

Diane, Shawn and Shane Mecca

I know you are flying high in the Heavens enjoying your freedom. Just know that you are missed so much down here. We love you and miss you. I made a promise to you and I promoise- I will keep it.... I love you so much Alli. Thank you for all of the wonderful memories. You are the best.

Every single day I miss you a thousand times more than the day before.



I think about you being here with me all the time...and I smile, and then it feels like my legs won't hold me up, that my lung won't hold any air.



God you were an amazing person.

You loved me so so so much

You know how much I loved you

How much I'll always love you

Allison, i cant believe your gone. It seems as if yesterday we graduated high school laughing and crying. God always has his way of picking us, and he couldn't have picked anyone better, u are definitly the best! You've gone to a much better place now. We will meet again. Only difference now is that u grew ur wings. You will always be an angel in my book!

There are no words to describe the sadness we are feeling . I wanna shake my head and make it all go away, but it is real and we are trying our best to carry on. Alli, I can't wait to see you up there . I think about you everyday and wish you were here playing with Sam , tickling Dyl ....thank you for all you did for me , babysitting, errands, and that GREAT party for Chris that pretty much you put on singlehandedly...I miss you so much . So many memories that I will NEVER ever forget.

words cannot describe how we feel in the loss of our ex-neighbor,allison. she was very much a part of the community in grayson and i am sure everyone who kneww her feels a great loss. allison was a loving and caring person, and although loretta and i didn't spend a whole lot of time with her that i can remember, the times we did were memorable,like the new years' eve gettogethers in our home, playing guess the song or something like that before the clock struck a new year. we saw her grow up from entering grade school through to high school graduation. i know that many peoples' lives were touched by knowing allison.



love, arie & loretta vlaardingerbroek

To Jeff and the Porto family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I just found out and was in total shock. Your daughter was such a special and giving person. She was a delight to be around and to talk with. Anything you might need both personally or with the baseball club, just call and let me know. We will be there for you and your family in this time of need. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family - Chrysler Youth Baseball

Allison... I can not believe how someone so wonderful can be taken away so fast. I remember our chats outside of relay on our "fake breaks." We used to make fun of each other, but most of all we would make fun of other people. You were the greatest! You ARE the greatest! I could hear you laughing two rows away, and anytime I didn't have anything to read, you always brought me like four Britney Spears magazines. You will definitely be missed. I'm in shock. I just found out, I know that you are watching over everyone now, I feel much safer in your hands. Rest in peace beautiful!

I just want to thank everyone who has taken their time to write these beautiful messages to my family and my sister. They are so wonderful to read, it shows how great of friends alli has. It would be great to receive emails from all of you because I would like to know how you met her. She was a beautiful and loving sister and I will miss her forever and I kno you all will too.

To the Porto’s-

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Allie and I went to St. Stans together, then I transferred to Modesto high from Central, and we met up again! We played softball together, and then graduated from high school! Allison gave me tons of great memories from elementary school. From getting yelled at by Mr. Porto before a basketball game, to getting caught copying homework in history…we did it all! We had sleep overs, we had practice for volleyball, basketball, and softball! She was indeed one of a kind…and her smile was contagious. She was the kind of person you loved to have around all the time. Her smile was gorgeous, her eyes so big and bright. What a beautiful girl. We will all miss her, and Jeff, Jeff Jr., Melissa, and Will, you are all in my prayers. I know Allie is looking down at us smiling…telling us not to worry. She is at home now. And she is not hurt. She will always be young, beautiful…and we will all see her again.

May she rest in peace...

Dear Jeff, Joanne, Melissa and Jeff Jr.

We are sorry for your loss and our prayers are with your family.



God Bless you all

Olaes Family

To the Porto Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Allison- Of all that I remember from back when we would play softball and run track against one another from fifth grade and then join forces in high school I always thought you had such a vibrant and happy soul. And you know what? you still do. You were always fun and competitive, a real athlete you were happy to have on your team instead of against it- the typical over achiever. You and I were often the last ones to be picked up and all the random gossipy and funny conversations about what was going on in our lives at the time won't be forgotten. To the Portos- your daughter was a joy to everyone she knew, most of all to you, and the time she was with you and the happiness she brought into your lives will be with you always. She definitely loved like every day would be her last and there is nothing to be more grateful for. God bless. Brenda Vigil.

There are no words at a time like this, except I am so sorry for your loss.

To the Porto Family. Its still not real that Allison has left us, but I think its because when I think of her, all I can see is her smile and her way of life... so bright and beautiful. I am thankful though to have known Allison since our freshmen year at Modesto High School and the memories since then... just a smile or small conversation on the nights we ended up at the same place with the same group of friends... I know that Allsion will be missed not only through the family memories but the out pour of love I saw the rosary and mass... My prayers are with you, and all of you, who had the honor to know and spend time with Allison... God bless...

joanne, melissa,jeff, and jeff junior....i am so sorry about your loss i dont know what to say i am as in much shock as the family... i will be praying for all of you and i love you guys....if you ever want to talk to me melissa just call me my number is 669 3857.

Allison, you will be missed by everyone who knew you, even if it were just for a moment. You were taken from your family, boyfriend, friends...too soon but we know there is a reason for it. Although we don't know the exact reason why, you are now up above with God watching down on all of us. May you continue your eternal life with God and one day everyone you knew will be able to reunite with you. Much love and will miss you ally.

My deepest sympathy goes out to you Jeff & your family. I've been praying for the Porto family since the 1st day and I wish for this to be just a nightmare for all of you, but all we can all do is pray for her. May her soul rest in peace always....

Allison, this past week has been one of the hardest of my life. When I heard what had happened, I couldn't breathe. My heart felt so crushed. I kept telling myself "no no no this isn't happening. She isn't gone." All of the memories came rushing back to me and I just wanted to cry. I hope you know how much you were truly loved and are smiling down from heaven. I know this isn't goodbye forever and I will always keep you close to my heart. I admired you in so many ways. I hope you knew how beautiful you were inside and out. I love you Allison. <3<3<3



Terri

I love and miss u Allison

Our prayers are with the Porto family at this time. Allison was a beautiful and vibrant soul. She will be missed in all of our hearts. Kyle and I were one of the many that got to meet Allison and we will always remember her.

Allison, it seems like yesterday we were working together, now you are asleep. What seems like days to me, is months in reality. You made me laugh and I pray for you and your family and may God bless you.

the porto family,

i attended st. stan's with allison and played baseball and softball with her. we also attended modesto high together and worked at mci. i remember allison when she was just a kid. running around the baseball field like a pro. she was able to outlast any of the boys and was so tough. although people change as they get older, i could tell she still had that in her. she was still tough. there were only two allison's during my years at st. stan's and during that time, my parents i got to know the porto family. we lost touch after i left the school, but i saw allison, melissa and jeff around in high school. and allison again at work; i even took one of her shifts for her. i remember seeing her walking to her car on breaks, always smiling. she grew up into a beautiful young lady. and i know she will be missed greatly. no matter how close someone was with her...they will definitely miss her. my prayers go out to the porto family and friends.

Allison-

I miss you, but I know that you are in heaven now. I am thinking about you a lot.



Love - Ellen

I know your in a better place
Allison please, just watch over me
Because I know you are in Heaven
'Cause thats where u deserve to be.
Remember this
I will always Love and Miss You!
Know that as you look down from up above
That My Heart is up there with You.
