We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of dear Alyssa. We have such fond and special memories of those Falcon soccer years. Alyssa was such a hard worker, positive energy, and kind friend to the girls. We ache for you and her daughter. May God provide comfort to you all.
Bill and Terri,
Thank you for your kind message!
Some of Alyssa’s happiest days were playing in the soccer fields with her Falcon teammates!!
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and hope 2024 is a wonderful year!

We are very sorry for the loss of your daughter. She only worked with us for a short while but she was a beautiful sweet young woman who many had the chance to work with .
I find great comfort in Psalm 139 especially verse 16: your eyes saw my unformed body ; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
Peace and comfort to you all.

I am so sorry for your loss Joe!!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family on the loss of your beautiful daughter.
Alyssa, your departure has left an irreplaceable void, yet echoes of your love remain with us. Your heart was an ocean of kindness, your laughter infectious, and your strong sense of family admirable. You had an amazing intellect and your love of books rivaled none. Your professional grade palate and cooking skills were a marvel to behold. Your sense of adventure made us kindred spirits (and roller coaster partners!). Some of our treasured memories include the Disney trip and our cruise. You put so much thought and care into planning and organizing. Your joy spilled over into everything you did. You will always be loved. You will always be missed. You will always be remembered. We know that Christ has you in His care, and we will one day see you again.
“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us set aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith”
Alyssa,
You were not only my most cherished cousin, but also one of my closest confidants. The last time we spoke, we had a long conversation about everything and nothing. From the Little Mermaid to weird cooking combinations. I always felt like our conversations were earnestly effortless. You were so kind, smart, and lively. I valued every moment we had together because I felt like we truly understood each other. Dolly wars in heaven. I have no doubt that you are the most radiant resident there. I love you.
