Another year gone by since you were taken from your FAMILY, FRIENDS and Mel & I. We  miss you so much!   Miss your beautiful face, smile and your personality.  ALLYSON, you meant so much to us and we loved you so much!

Thinking of Allyson and all of you today.  What a wonderful amazing person! I’m so glad to have worked with her years back! May her memory be a blessing!

Ally, there is truly not a day that goes by that you’re not on my mind. I miss our catch up calls and our late night venting talks. Life is not the same since you’ve passed. I cannot believe it’s 4 yrs since you’ve left a whole in everyone’s heart. My heart and prayers go out to your mother. Gil, and the kids. I miss you so much. No matter how many years pass, it will hurt like it was just yesterday. 

In my heart always!!!
I love you! Love, Heather

Ally will always be in my heart.  We shared terrific times at 229, as well as great times out of the work place.  Ally had a wonderful smile, but as I would tell her, "Ally you are wearing too much perfume.!"
Rest in peace dear friend.
In my heart always,
Randi

Another year gone by.    A painful & heartbreaking  loss of Allyson due to covid.  Cannot believe 4 years ago. 😢😢 Allyson, Mel & I first met you when you were just a kid and was a good friend to Kim.  You spent so much time in our apartment. You meant so much to us &  Mel & I loved you.   Our hearts go out to your MOM and all who love you! 😢 R.I.P

Hi Ally,

Words escape me right now as I recently found out about your passing, Ally I’m so sorry. You were a wonderful and genuine person and the loss people feel proves that.

Happy 52nd birthday in heaven, may you rest in peace. 

Chet

Allyson, 

I think of you often, what an amazing person you were. May we all take a little bit of you and continue your wonderful persona.  I miss you and am grateful to have been blessed with knowing you, even for a short time. 

May your family find some semblance of peace in knowing how much you meant to them and so many others. 

Warmest blessings, Rhonda 

2 YEARS since you left FAMILY & FRIENDS.  48 Years old and much to young not to be here anymore.   You & Kim were close and you would be at our apartment many, many times.  Cannot believe JHS was so long ago    I personally miss not knowing you are not here.  What an amazing smile you had that could light up a dark room.    R.I.P. 

Ally, I cannot believe it’s been a year. I think about you every day. I think about Gil, Tamar, Asher, and your mom Perry and wonder how their lives move forward without you. You truly were the person that held everyone together one way or another. And I know you’re reading this and saying “no way,” but you were. I miss our 3-4 hour catch up sessions or 2 min I love you calls while you were sitting in traffic on the way home. Our lives will never be the same. I miss you so deeply, I love you. 

Dear Allyson,
I will always have your face and voice in my head . You were such a beautiful person in and out.  I miss talking with you . I will always remember the kind person you are . Love you girl, Lisa Parisi. 

Dear Allyson, 

I cannot believe a year has passed. You are on and in my heart. I will never forget the type of person and qualities you taught me. I am grateful for the year I spent at 229 and for our friendship! Love always, Rhonda 

I always remember her beautiful smile and the close bond Allyson had with her family and especially her mother.  She and Perry shared the love of shopping, make-up, cooking and so very much more.  


We cannot believe it has been 1 year April 19, 2020 since Allyson passed away due to the coronavirus.  She left behind a loving Husband Gil,  her children Asher and Tamar,  her MOM PERRY & so many friends.  My Husband Mel & I have known her since J.H.S. and she spent hours at our home with our daughter Kim.  Of all the friends Kim had, Allyson is the one we loved very much.  Allyson, you will always be in our Hearts  & missed very much.  

My heart and prayers go out to her family and the staff at PS 229. I worked with her at PS 229  years ago and she always made me feel like part of the team.  She was a beauty inside and out and her make-up was always on point. She was truly a gem. She impacted so many with her love, smile, and warmth. She loved everyone and she will truly be missed but never forgotten.

Dear Allyson,
Jamie and I are going to miss you dearly. The picture that I have enclosed shows how devoted you were to all the special ed children at 229. You always had a smile on your face and Jamie always loved seeing you at school. You were Jamie’s speech therapist and you helped her immensely. I myself always loved seeing and talking to you, we always had great times together at 229. We will miss you so very much. Rest In Peace our angel 🙏🏼
Love you, ❤️
Kim and Jamie Russo 

I first met Allyson in September, 2017, when I was assigned two days a week to work at P.S. 229 as a speech/language teacher.  I was welcomed by her and all of the other speech teachers with open arms.  I am especially appreciative to Allyson because that very first day, I received a call and text from my father,  that my stepmother had tragically passed away. I was in shock and will never forget the comfort, assistance, compassion and leadership that Allyson showed to me.  She let the principal and my speech supervisor know, and quickly told me to leave. She asked me about my family throughout the entire year.  Every day I worked there, I learned from her. Allyson was a great teacher and storyteller.   After that first day,  Allyson and  I had long talks with about many things, including some challenges I was going through at the time with my daughter. Allyson was nothing but supportive and positive.  She hugged me and I felt like I had known her forever.  She was a wonderful listener, and listened without judgement. Allyson was authentic, a real caring and beautiful person.  Allyson had a wonderful sense of confidence and style.  She demonstrated to me what is important in life.  I’ll never forget how much I admired her stylish “rolling bag”.  I once said to her “I never saw one so stylish”, and we commisserated how carrying a bag on the shoulder and/or back hurt (we were around the same age).  It was so HER!! I am so grateful to have had the opportunity 2.5 weeks ago to speak with Allyson (we hadn’t spoken in a while, and I wanted to see how she was). She and I spoke for 45 minutes, just catching up on family, life, hobbies, interests, etc.  I remember at the end of the call I said I would pray for her that she feel better quickly and she said "Call or text me anytime for anything".  Allyson, you will hold a special place in my heart.  May her memory be for a blessing! I Allyson, I  will never forget your beautiful eyes, smile and spirit of being! 

I have no words to describe the sadness I am feeling at the loss of my childhood friend, whom I first met in kindergarten. Growing up together, Allyson radiated beauty, not just in her immaculate make-up applications (of which I was always jealous), but from deep within. We lost touch after high school, but Facebook reconnected us about 11 years ago, and Allyson was just as sweet as ever. We didn't talk often, but when we did, we easily chatted about life, now adult friends commiserating about adult things. She genuinely listened and cared. Our chats reaffirmed what I always knew--Allyson was a bright, loving and protective light for so many. I will be forever grateful for our friendship, then and now. Heaven just got brighter and more beautiful. Rest peacefully, Allyson.

I first met Ally about 20 years ago at 229. She was planning her wedding and was so excited to share every detail with me. I remember thinking how absolutely beautiful she was and her personality was just the same.  Ally was a friend you could share anything with and even if time had passed, when you caught up with Ally you picked up right where you left off. We loved to share stories about our kids, families, makeup tips or just chatting about a new boutique that we had to check out...she was my “go to”for things like that.  Ally was a very special person and friend ❤️ Until we meet again sweet friend we’ll continue our chats right where we left off xoxo

I am heartbroken for losing sweet Allyson. I knew Allyson from our speech meetings together. I go to PS 14 and have known Allyson for a very long time , but we became close these past 5 years. Allyson was the kind of person that you felt like you knew for 20 years. She was the most empathetic person I met. She was not only caring but  she had this "realness " to her.  I never could feel embarrassed of anything I said to her.  She always had your back and would listen to you for hours .  She gave great advice and I always looked forward to being around her. Allyson you will be missed forever and always . I will be praying for your family everyday .   Love, Lisa Parisi.   

Allyson and I  worked together at P.S. 229 about the same amount of time - 25 years.  We shared a room together (Rm 312) and served door duty for many years.  Through the years, I learned to admire the many layers of Allyson:    a devoted mother and daughter, a loving wife, a dedicated speech teacher and a loyal friend and colleague.  As her chapter leader/union rep., Allyson would confide in me and ask for advice.  My advice was sometimes not what she wanted to hear.  She would respond, "Loretta, you sound just like Gil."  I would reply, "Great minds think alike.  Listen to your husband."  She was professional and very protective of her colleagues, especially her speech teachers.  She loved socializing with her friends and would always order jewelry whenever I had a Park Lane jewelry party.  She had a sense of style and flair.  I will miss you dearly, Allyson.  Gil, Tamar and Asher - if there is anything you need - your PS 229 family will always be here for you.

My favorite memory of many: "Last Day of School - NYC Teachers Like to Party!", that Allyson was a part of.  She was such a hard worker that I'm grateful I could see her really relaxed, laughing, and having a great time!  Her beautiful smile is what I will always remember.  May She Rest In Peace.      

Allyson was a true friend through the good times and the bad. She always gave me great advice followed with a hug.  My heart is so heavy with sadness over your loss.  RIP my sweet, Ally I will miss you forever  💙

This is my favorite memory of many: 
"Last Day of School NYC Teachers Like to Party!", that Allyson was a part of.   She was such a hard worker I am grateful I could see her really laughing and having a great time.
Her smile in this photo is what I'll always remember.   
May She Rest In Peace        

Allyson was the glue that held our bright, talented, dedicated, and beautiful Speech Teachers together at PS229Q.    

I’m at a loss for words right now. R.I.P Allyson. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing you from the days of being a student at PS229 up until now. You always greeted me with open arms, and a hug. You were one of the most caring and compassionate women that I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I remember one of the first times I came back to visit after being gone for so long you asked me what I was up to and when I said I graduated college you hugged me immediately and said how proud of me that you were. I’ll never forget that. While you may be gone you will certainly NEVER be forgotten. The PS229 family suffered a big loss but heaven certainly gained an angel. My thoughts and condolences are with you and your entire family❤️.

I first meet Allyson in Graduate School at Queens College we became instead friends. I don’t think I would have survived if it wasn’t for her. The funniest memory is when Allyson left class to go to the bathroom and when she turned out of the door she banged right into the vending machine. It was so loud when she came back to class she asked it I heard the noise because I didn’t know that it was her that made the noise. Of course Allyson called the school the next day to complain about where the machine was placed and it was moved by the time we had our next class. That’s why I loved her. She was such a beautiful person and had a heart of gold.  You will truly be missed. Gil, Tamar, Asher and Perry , Allyson will continue to watch over you. Condolences to the Shapira- Mestel Family.

I will miss your sweet face , ever so beautiful made up with perfect strokes of makeup. .. adding to your natural beauty. Your gorgeous eyes and the sweet soft spoken voice of yours !! Rest In Peace my friend Allyson and watch over your beautiful family ! 

My dear beautiful Ally, or as I used to call you, my “Jewish daughter!”  This is so hard  for me to write, because since you and Wendy met in the 1st grade; and became best friends in the 2nd. grade, you became  part of our family. 
This has hit the Negrón family so hard, that I can’t get you out of my mind!   Our condolences to the Shapiro-Mestel family. 
So many beautiful memories!  I thank God that you, Gil, Asher and Tamar were with us at my brother’s Christmas Eve party, here in Florida.  We had so much fun. 
I remember how shy you were, during your elementary years. But then, as years went by, you overcame the shyness,,,And How!
Perry and Asher were so proud of you!  But of course they were, you were such a beautiful, talented, loving, and caring human being. 
This family will miss you so much. You will always be in our hearts and thoughts. 
Rest In Peace my Jewish daughter!  
Maria, and Jose Negrón ❤️🌹😘

I met Allyson, 25 years ago,  during my first year working at P.S 229 and have been very close ever since.  We shared so much of our lives.  I remember the times we went to the Daytime Emmy Awards because we were huge Soap Opera fans.  Boy did we love General Hospital,  especially Maurice Bernard.  We were both obsessed with Agatha jewelry and had fun shopping together.   Before she met her one and only Gil, Allyson and I would be on the phone for hours talking about all of her horrible dates right after she went on them.  One time she even called me during one of those dates from the bathroom asking for help.   Through the years we were there for each other.  I always enjoyed laughing with her so much.  I will miss you beyond words my friend.  

Dearest Allyson, a beautiful, wonderful woman who we all love so much!! The sweet, lovely little girl that became a very dear and special friend to my daughter Tammy when they were eight years old and that wonderful friendship continued all these years ..I have never forgotten Tammy.s Sweet 16 party and all the fun we had with Asher and Perry.. We are in utter disbelief and our hearts filled with the deepest of sorrow because of this horrendous tragedy..We send all our love to dear Perry, dear  And wonderful Gil, Beautiful and special twin daughter Tamar and darling Asher..We love you all, Susan & John in Arizona

I am so incredibly saddened by Allyson's passing.
I met Allyson 11 years ago as our kids started out in elementary school together.  Allyson and I got to know each other through the years as our sons became good friends. Allyson was such a smart,caring, generous and beautiful lady.  She had an incredible warmth about her that I will truly miss. I will miss running into each other and giving each other big hugs while trying to catch up.
My deepest heartfelt condolences to Gil,Asher,Tamar, to the entire family as well as to all those who loved her deeply.
 


When Ally first came to PS229 as a Speech Therapist, I was there to assist her in figuring out the "mess" left by the former therapist.  Ally cried and cursed and I comforted her, "don't worry Allyson we will figure out the schedule and clean the speech room together." And we did.  Since the day we met we became fast friends.  Allyson was caring and compassionate with all of her speech students, and they in turn loved Miss Allyson, as we all did.  Allyson had a heart as big as the sky, for her students, friends, and family.  I remember dancing at her wedding to Gil, Ally was a beautiful bride, a wonderful daughter and a loving mother to her 2 children.  I will miss you each and every day.

Mel & I have lost so many friends and never gave it a thought that Kim would experience  a loss of a friend.  She  was taken much too soon.   As a youngster,  Allyson would spend many days at our home.    She was one of the sweetest and an amazing friend.  She loved her HUSBAND, CHILDREN,  BROTHER &  was an exceptional daughter to her MOM! 
 We loved her so & she will be missed by all especially b  ALLYSON, YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PLACE IN OUR HEART.  

I feel so fortunate to have spent the majority of my life (since we were 8 years old) to have called you my friend. Allyson was the rare person in life that stood by you and kept in touch no matter what the circumstances were or how far apart we lived. Allyson was a true friend, she made me laugh even when I was sad and she helped me see things in a much better light. She was extremely supportive, kind, caring and generous. She was an exceptionally beautiful woman both inside and out. All that knew her loved her. Those she held dearest, well they had it the best, she loved them with all of her heart and soul. She was so loyal and would do all she could to protect those she loved. Allyson was lucky to come from a beautiful family and I am grateful I got to know her father wonderful Asher and her beautiful mother Perry as well as her brother Aaron. Allyson always loved children and I knew she would be a great mom, when the time came and she was blessed with two beautiful children, Tamar & Asher, I knew how much it meant to her. Her husband Gil has been a blessing too, such a kind and considerate person, just what Allyson deserved in life. My condolences and love to her mom Perry, brother Aaron, husband Gil, son Asher and her daughter Tamar.  Life without my sweet, beautiful friend is not going to be easy. So many wonderful memories, so much life left without her in it, my heart is broken. I will think of you every day and miss you. I love you with all of my heart. 

Ally, my Allykins. 
My first ever best friend. Inseparable since second grade.  She was not only my friend, but instantly became my sister.  So many memories from going over each other’s houses, sleepovers and so much laughter.  She had a huge heart and can Make you laugh in the hardest moments. She always kept in touch even when I moved to another state, it didn’t matter.  Our friendship grew.  Then talks about our kids and family.  This has hit me very hard. My Ally, how I will miss you everyday.  I can’t imagine a world without you in it.  Thank you for always keeping me a constant In your life. For loving  my family as your own.  For allowing me to love your amazing twins and telling them I was Aunty Wendy.  For being there in my happy moments and for being there in my hardest times. I will miss you.  You will always be in my heart.  ❤️

My heart is broken. We lived at 71st Road with Allyson. She was a beautiful, fun teenager. Allyson became my baby sitter for my 2 baby girls at the time. She nicknamed my daughter Andrea. - Monkey Doodle and we still call her that to this day 31 years later.   I taught Allyson how to drive a car when she needed to learn. We drove all around Forest Hills  practicing parking and k turns. Not easy on city streets. We so enjoyed this time together.  I moved to Hewlett with my family. Allyson later moved to this area with her family. We saw each other many times in the neighborhood and we were both always so happy to see each other. We shared so many great memories. I loved having her as a Facebook friend. She was bold, honest and so loving. She was an amazing human being. An amazing daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend. Allyson will always be in my heart ❤️ - Diane Hochman 

Allyson was a truly beautiful person inside and out.  I knew Allyson best when she was a young girl living in Forest Hills.  I remember her as an incredibly devoted and loving daughter to her mother Perry, as having a gorgeous smile, and a sweet and gentle soul.  My deepest sympathy to Allyson's entire family for this tragic and untimely loss.  May Allyson's memory be for a blessing.  

Sincerely, 
Julie Hochman Schair

We are saddened by the loss of such a caring wife, mother and friend.  Her gentle spirit and devotion to her family will always be remembered. 

May memories her happy heart and smiling eyes be a memory to comfort you in this time difficult time.

I met Ally many years ago, with Laurie Breitstein ( before she was married) . She Was a beautiful woman. I remember her coming to my apt. at the time and her hair and makeup was always amazing. So much so that I actually got many tips from her on how to do my own makeup. She was a very generous girl when taking the time out to help me with my own makeup and tips. Whenever I would run into her in Cedarhurst she would have a different hairstyle. She really had a talent and creativity. I always would tell Laurie that she was  so friendly and it was like no time had ever past by since we had seen each other. I will never forget her smile. My heart goes out to her family. She was a shining light.
