Rest in Peace my friend. We met 12 years ago when our children entered kindergarten. We cried and never looked back. I have always had a bond with you and thank you for your constant support of Joey and their class. You have been an inspiration and will be truly missed. My heart breaks for Harvey and Camryn but they will always keep your spirit alive. Until we meet again.

Allison and I worked at a camp when we were fifteen. It was my first job and I will never forget that summer. We had a lot of fun together in that laundry room we did a humiliating job for our age but she kept me going even when it was 100 degrees in that little room and the kids from camp would like more and more bags of laundry on us. Just as we would get the pile down more would come in, we would just laugh.
Then I came to Greenville school for a year and we picked up where we left off in our friendship. I recently saw her in walmart but she was on her way out I didnt know she had been sick until I saw her that day - I wanted to go up to her and say something but she was on her phone and on the way out. I just sat in my car and cried because I knew what was to come for her. She was a wonderful inspiration to me and sure to many others. I only wish that I had taken that opportunity that day to wait for her to get off her phone to say something - she will truly be missed here in earth. I know that she fulfilled her purpose and wish the best for her family to remember her smile.

Our condolences to Harvey, Camryn and the entire family. We watched Allyson grow up and saw her set an example for all, especially those afflicted with this horible disease as she fought it with courage and dignity. While her life was cut short much too early, she lived it fully with great friends and family, and leaves a wonderful legacy. On behalf of the Abramson family and the entire Tranquillity family, may she rest in peace and may Harvey and Camryn thrive with their memories as she would have wanted them to.

I just wanted to express my family's symapthies for the loss of Allyson. My Dad was in St. Peter's Hospice Inn during the same time and I saw Allyson's beautiful face daily. I would also pass Benjamin each day. It was obvious how very much you loved her. You and your daughter will remain in our prayers.

I didn't know Mrs. Benjamin well but she always made me feel like she knew me for a long time. I used to go to Greenville H.S. to drop something off for or pick up one of my grandchildren and she was always so caring and made you feel very much at ease. My prayers are for her entire family and the wonderful treasure they have lost. She is at God's hand now and watching over all of you. Rest in peace Mrs. Benjamin.

My fond memories of Allyson are many--they even go back to the point where I had Allyson in class as a conscientious and dedicated high school student! And she brought those same ideals to her later life as well. She was an intelligent, gifted, inspiring, and totally awesome individual for whom there will be no equal. BUT--Allyson will live on in our hearts and minds. We will never forget her. God bless and give comfort to Camryn, Harvey, and the rest of her family.

My memories of Allyson begin when she was a wonderful student at GCS when I taught there. She was beautiful then and was ALWAYS beautiful! I was so happy when she began to work at GCS so that I could visit with her and watch Cam grow into the lovely young lady she is today. We always laughed because she was so witty and had great stories and insights. When she first became ill, I marveled at her courage and positive outlook and that attitude inspired me and all who knew and loved her throughout her illness. Allyson will be missed by MANY people but especially by her family and friends. God bless you, Allyson-you were truly a strong woman.

I remember Allyson's patience as a substitute teacher. She was so very nice to me and helped me until I could handle the work on my own. She would tell me "you can do this, your smart, I know you can do it" I am sad to learn of her passing. I am sure she is helping God in heaven like she helped me and many others here on earth. My condolences to her family...may you all find peace at this difficult time.
