Dear family: Allison was a wonderful pianist with our Music Makers Club at Northgate Seniors Centre. She loved to play along with us and she was able to pick up on many of the selections she had never heard – remarkable. I enjoyed chatting with her during our breaks and humming along. I am so sorry for your loss!
Foi com grande pesar que recebemos a notícia do falecimento da Allison.
Enviamos as nossas sinceras condolências a toda a família e que Deus vos conforte e alivie a dor.
Descanso eterno à sua alma. 🙏🌷🙏
In the short time I knew Allison, I grew to appreciate her musical talents on the
piano. She seemed to know all musical genres, country, rock, classical, etc.
When I did a song she could instinctively do the instrumental. We here at
music makers will sorely miss Allison, she was a definite asset for our
club and a pleasure to know.
Our condolences to Aurelio and family. May she rest in peace 🙏
Our deepest condolences to Aurelio and all the family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. God bless you all
Marcelino and Linda De Sousa and family
Our Deepest Condolences to Aurelio and the family
May she rest in peace.
