Allison Levine (Ali) was diagnosed on April 10, 2008 with signet ring cell carcinoma (gastric cancer). Ali ended her courageous battle victorious on Monday, March 9, 2009 at the tender age of 32. Allison’s journal & inspirational comments of visitors are a testament to her extraordinary character (Kia Kaha) & compassion. Shortly after her passing, we discovered results of genetic testing revealed a mutation of the CDH1 gene. Our family now enters a new phase of this journey to determine additional genetic results of Ali’s parents, sister (her daughter if necessary) and eventually – our nearly 3 year old son Noah.
