The final texts of the Long Island mom of four who died after driving her SUV into the family’s backyard pool over the summer have come to light — revealing a heartwarming exchange with her husband.
Beloved Nassau County teacher Allison Rahmani, 40, was texting with her husband shortly before she suffered a medical episode and plunged her SUV into the pool on Aug. 21.
Matt Rahmani, 39, sent a photo of a prayer shawl bag Allison had made for him by hand, expressing his gratitude.
“I’m walking into God being like fire,” he texted on Aug. 21, according to People. “I’m feeling so good.”
“She wrote ‘LOL,’” Matt said.
Allison spent over a year and a half making the shawl, he said.
“That was literally the last interaction I had with my wife,” the grieving dad told the outlet.
“It was this little banter, which was so emblematic of our relationship.”
Sources close to the situation believe Allison likely suffered a medical episode before losing control of her white SUV and crashing into the pool.
The mom managed to call for help but died while being rushed to the hospital.
However, the exact circumstances surrounding her death will likely remain a mystery due to the family’s Orthodox Jewish traditions, a relative told The Post outside the family’s Hewlett home in Auhust.
Under Orthodox Jewish law, burials must take place as quickly as possible, and autopsies are generally forbidden as they are viewed as a desecration of the body.
Authorities officially ruled Allison’s death a tragic accident.
Because there is no active criminal investigation or reason to suspect foul play, there are no legal grounds for a court-ordered autopsy.
Upon learning his wife had crashed into the pool, Matt immediately said a prayer for her safety and health, he told People.
“Please watch over my wife and children. Keep them healthy, safe, happy, and close to you,” he said in the prayer.
“Please give me the strength to handle whatever challenges come my way today. Help me not to worry about things I can’t control. Remind me that everything is ultimately in your hands.”
He admitted to feeling “conflicted” about reciting the prayer — only to learn shortly afterward that his wife had passed away.
However, he now recites the same prayer every day.
Mourners gathered to remember Allison during an Aug. 22 funeral service at Boulevard-Riverside Chapels.
The same day, she was supposed to leave for a romantic Paris getaway with Matt.
