What was also amazing was shortly after I left RAPP Kalisha ended up working with my husband, who got to see what I was talking aboutโฆ her positive energy.
My heart is broken and I could only imagine what her loved ones are feeling. Please know I am thinking about all of you.
Although we had been out of touch in recent years, Iโm heartened to see that the same energy and leadership she used to wrangle our group of friends for adventures back in the day became qualities so admired by her coworkers. That comes as no surprise to me.
My heartfelt condolences go out to Kalisha's family. I feel truly blessed to have had her in my life and will always treasure the memories we shared.
When she left RAPP it hurt. Little did I know that wasnโt anything compared to her leaving the world. You are missed Alisha!

With Richโs trembling voice, every word of the news hit me harder and harder. Didnโt I just see Kalisha on a call the other day? We went over some timelines and she shared that she just went to a cool concert, and her niece popped in to say hi to all of us.
Kalisha embodies the true spirit of team work. Even under the most stressful times, Kalisha was always smiling, always there to listen, to troubleshoot, and to support the team. She approaches her work with such thoughtfulness and lightheartedness. I am honored to have worked with her day in and day out starting at the beginning of the CIDP team, through the CIDP launch, and beyond. I will miss you deeply, Kalisha.
With love and condolences,

My heartfelt condolences go out to her family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time. Kalisha, may you rest in eternal peace and continue to shine your light from above.
My deepest condolences to her friends and family.
Kalisha, we miss you and will keep you in our hearts forever.
I am devastated by the shocking news both for us, and especially for her friends and family who loved her immensely. I am wishing you comfort and healing. We miss her already.
We went on to work together quite closely this year and ended up being a great mentor to me. She was driven, passionate, positive and always wanted better for herself and others. I am deeply saddened and haunted by the news of her passing this week and am not the most eloquent writer so I would like to share a poem with you all that echoes my sentiment that Kalisha's legacy will live on in the minds and hearts of her friends and loved ones. We will miss her dearly
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
With love and all my condolences,
Juliet
