Allison was kind, thoughtful, and a great friend. She also had great taste in music – I remember back in college when she listened to every Led Zeppelin album all of the way through which I thought was super cool. She will be deeply missed.
I am so sorry for your loss. Debra Rush-Gerber ( Kennedy family member)
I got to know Allison well at Naismith Hall while working as an RA. She often shared stories of her mom and kept me updated on her first niece (she was SO excited to become an aunt!). A few years passed, we hadn’t talked to one another in a bit, yet she regularly checked in when she found out I unexpectedly lost my dad. Even during her own battles, she was there to help people navigate through theirs. I was so sorry to see that she passed away, but I can’t help but smile a bit thinking of her being reunited with her mom.
