deepest condolences to her loved ones. so so sorry for your loss.
Such a tragic accident. My condolences to her family. What happened exactly?
This is heartbreaking. Martin’s Village has lost another soul too soon. Rest in peace, Allissa.
Such a sad story. I hope authorities figure out what led to the accident.
I can’t believe this happened on Labour Day. My thoughts are with Allissa’s family and friends.
The family must be devastated. RIP my dear
How terrible. Just when you think the day is for celebration, something like this happens. Condolences to her loved ones.
Rest in peace, Allissa.
Prayers. May her soul rest in peace
So sad… SMH…. When will the death stop in that place?
So no one wasn’t helping her board the truck? no one wasnt around to help her ?
Rip…. SMH
She was such a sweet soul… this news just crushed me.
Why do we keep losing lives on holidays? When will enough be enough?
Authorities need to take road safety more seriously. How many more?
She was always smiling… can’t believe she’s gone.
Sorry that she died. Some people die before their time because this could have been avoided. Winking up. Twirking. Tryng to get unto a truck wheb it is moving
My point exactly. People miss the basic things and jump to the ghetto. Foolish people. Yes condolences to the family but I hope this sends a message to those who feel its all about revelling
People need to understand that labor means work, lets come together and do something for the communities and stop the foolish wilding out on labor days
You know I found it disrespectful any other function it would have been canceled smh
