Passing time can never fade
All the special memories made;
Loved ones ever really part
For they live within your heart.

Such a sad loss. Such a wonderful person. You fought your adversity with a smile always on your face. You will be missed by all that knew you.

Sending prayers of gratitude that God would create such a beautiful person to live His Word through her life. Also sending prayers that He would wrap His loving arms around all of Ali’s family and friends at this painful time of loss. He will not
Forsake, but will bring healing and peace to all who loved Ali and will miss her deeply. The beautiful spirit He created in her will live on in the memories and inspiration of her life perfectly lived in His name.

Such beautiful words. Karen, even though Stuart and I didn’t know Allison and the family well, the picture shows so much love. Much love and many prayers, Barbie & Stuart

I was on the team that interviewed Allison for her job at Rosewood and her love and enthusiasm for teaching was very evident. She did not disappoint. I will always remember her walking down the sidewalk yelling out math problems to her students as they went from one class to another or to lunch. I was devastated when she found out that she had metastatic breast cancer as she was way too young and should have had a long life ahead of her. I remember the first year or so Rob’s every day post of encouragement for her. No better way to show your love than to be there even in the bad times encouraging. I also thought of Alec as he and his mom had such a bond and he was way too young to lose his Mom. Each year she survived it encouraged me that she may really beat this thing but it was not to be. She had just had a picture taken with my grandson, Ryan at his team’s year end celebration just a couple of days before she passed and I never would have thought that she would be gone before the week was out. I know that Rob and Alec will have a hard time dealing with her loss but she will help them. It is also sad for all the students that won’t get to learn her love of learning. May God keep you all in his prayers.

Very sorry to hear this… I will always remember you as a smart, athletic and inquisitive young woman. Rest in Peace.

I always remember your beautiful smile. May you be at peace and always be remembered with much laughter, love and happiness.

Love always,
Claudia Delgado

Karen and family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Holding you in my heart.

I was in education classes at Bucknell with Allison, and we worked together on the Student Pennsylvania State Education Association club there. I will forever remember her smile and kind heart and spirit. So sorry for your loss.

Karen, my deepest sympathy on your loss. I didn’t know your daughter, but knowing you, I know how much she was loved by you and her family. I hope you will find comfort & peace in knowing others care. May she rest in peace…

Allison was an inspiration to all her coworkers at Rosewood!!! So committed to her calling of teaching children! A woman filled with joy and positive thinking and was definitely our superhero!!!!

Your smile and laugh will always be remembered! Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.

My condolences to Ali’s family and friends. Ali was a true life Warrior. She never stopped fighting. Always positive. She taught us all how to live life. Ali’s strength and positivity will live forever live in our hearts. Shine shine shine

I’m honored to have known and worked with Allison at Rosewood. She loved life and never took a day for granted. She is an inspiration to all of us.

Allison you were certainly a shining star. I don’t think I ever knew anyone so positive. Now we need to focus on all the beautiful memories everyone has. Praying for strength each day for Karen, Rob and Alec.

Allison was definitely a shining star. Most positive person I knew. I pray her family gets comfort in all the beautiful memories she gave them. Praying for their strength.

Mrs. Falana was loved by all her students, staff and families. My twins had her in fifth grade she was always so kind and they really enjoyed having her as a teacher. They said she was the nicest teacher. We are sending our thoughts and prayers to her and her family she was a special lady. We are glad that we got to have her come into our lives. She is now an angel and will be watching over her loved ones.

I’m so sorry about your precious daughter. I would have loved to know her as I know her Aunt Charlene and know how much family means to her. Allison sounds like such an exceptional and wonderful woman and I know she’ll be forever remembered and missed.

My deepest condolences to Allison’s family. We met at Bucknell and worked together for 4 years at the Bison. Everyone that met her gravitated toward her because of her pleasant and heart warming personality. She was a blast to work with and be around. She was a bright light that was taken away from us much too soon, but we are all better people because we knew her and she is watching over us now.

My deepest condolences to your family Allison. Your were always such a smart, friendly, and cheerful presence at Rosewood Elementary. I always remember you smiling. Rest in peace and thank you for your friendship.

Allison was one of my best friends years ago in Union School. We spent so many days just laughing and enjoying life. Band, sports, music.
Our saying (which is in our yearbooks) is “Follow Your Heart and you will last forever)
It meant so much to both of us.
She will be sorely missed and I will always love her.
I know she’s watching over Alec & Robb with so much pride.
I wish them all the strength I can give.
You are amazing and strong, just like Allison.

Karen, I’m here if you ever need anything.

You were my teacher for 4th grade I believe. I remember first hearing the news and I cried. You’re in a better place now.
