So very sorry for the tragic loss of Allison
May the God of all comfort soothe your hearts and ease your pain as you go through this grievous time. May you find peace in knowing that God sees the tears you shed and sorrow you feel. He promises: "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”(Rev 21:3,4). Acts 24:15 says “there is going to be a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous.” May these beautiful Bible texts comfort your hearts at this very sad time.please visit jw.org where much comfort from the Bible can be found.
most sincerely

My thoughts and prayers go out to Allison’s friends and family. I did not know Allison, but a friend told me about what had happened and what an amazing person she was. I am inspired by Allison’s commitment to fostering and mentoring children. May you find peace and comfort knowing that her life will surely continue to make a positive impact in this world for many years to come. I will carry her story in my heart.

We were, and are, so shocked to hear about Allison, and remain grieving with you. Allison lived in the condo below our son Peter and his wife Allison. Their dog Russ and her Eli were great friends and got to spend nights together when their owners were away. “Downstairs Allison” was a true friend and happy neighbor, sharing many celebrations and times with all of us. We will always remember her.

Our sincere sympathies to the Donovan family and her friends. Allison was my daughter Sara's first grade teacher in 2003-2004. She was a fantastic teacher who really connected both with the students and the parents. Such a tragic loss. May you find strength during this difficult time and in the prayers we are holding for you.

Allison was a gifted teacher, mentor, and caring adult. Our children Stella and Michael were touched by her gift, they are better people because of Allison, and they will always carry the light she shared with them. She will never be forgotten.

I met Alison when my son, Jonathan was in 5th grade at Lincoln elementary school in Melrose. I was an active parent helping to raise money for 5th grade activities such as E-camp and end of the year ceremonies. I worked closely with Alison on the fundraising. I fondly remember her entering every meeting with a welcoming smile and a motivational attitude that said; no worries if we don’t know the answer we’ll figure it out! She was positive and pleasant. This is an unimaginable tragedy! My prayers and sincere condolences are with your family!

Dick and family. This seems more than anyone should endure. The first time I met Allison she was in an umbrolla stroller at all of Melissa's gymnastic lessons at the high school. She was Jan's pride and joy, the youngest, the baby. Dick our hearts are broken for you once again. We are in FL for the winter but you will be in our heart in the coming days. There are no words to make it right.
