My sincere condolences to the family and relatives of Allyson. Over the years I had the great pleasure of appearing on her show several times.She was so dedicated to promoting the Pan that the Pan World has indeed lost an icon supporter.in her.
May she rest in peace
The Desperadoes family extends condolences to the Hennessy and Hezekiah families on the passing of Allyson.She was one whom we considered as a member of the band although she never played pan with the band and always would be remembered leading the band to the stage on Panorama final night.There are so many other things that could be said about Allyson's contribution to the band but for the moment may she rest in peace.
There are no words to explain what a vast void Allyson will leave by her passing. I knew Allyson on so many fronts, hockey, a great supporter of local art and artisans, a wonderful TV personality, a creator of local cuisine, a wonderful family friend.
She will be missed, but we will all have wonderful memories to share.

Condolenses to the bereaved family and friends of beloved Allison Hennessy. Sometimes its so hard to understand an accept death: Its so final. Allison has shared her life with all of us and we thank her. She was an advocate for the Culture of our Trini people. She loved the Steelband with a passion, especcially her personal favourite Desperadoes. The glow that glimmered on her face when Despers are on stage at Panorama is something to behold. She loved all aspects of our Culture, and was a true- true- Trini. The two people she admired most were 'Clive Bradley' and Boogsie Sharpe; She is a great loss to the people of sweet T&Tand we will all miss Her. Allison Hennessy: Where ever you are right know. ' May the Blessings of Almighty God Our Creator be with You...................................................................................................
