Tristan Allegra

Eryn Allegra

PORT ST. LUCIE — Eryn Allegra said she was sorry in all the letters she wrote to her son.

That’s what police say they found when they searched the Holiday Inn where 8-year-old Tristan Allegra was suffocated to death on Christmas morning.

“You’ll always be my sweet boy,” one letter read.

“You deserved a better mother,” said another.

People who know Allegra, 31, say she is someone who keeps to herself. Doesn’t like to share what she’s thinking. Polite but prefers to keep quiet.

With pen and paper, though, the words just seemed to flow out of her, according to court documents recently released.
