Alicia you will be so missed, your humor, smile and beauty. My prayers go out to your family and your extended family of friends. Much love being sent above to you!
I grew up next door to Judy James, Charles and Girls at TSTI in the 70s. I looked over Alicia, Tammy & Jamie from time to time for Judy. I remember sweet little Alicia. She was two years old and had a milk alergy. She couldn’t have some of the same things to eat as Charles and Tammy and would cry. I always felt so sorry for her. She grew up to be such a beautiful out going young lady. My Mom and I ran into Judy and Alicia several years ago at Hobby Lobby. I am saddened to hear of her too soon passing. God Bless.
I am in shock! I know this is almost a year later, but I am just finding this out. I feel horrible that I never got to meet my cousin and I feel even worse for those that did know her. My prayers are with each and every one of you that knew and loved. My heart aches for y’all. God Bless.
I was so sad to hear the news of Alicia’s passing. She was always such a happy, free spirited person. Her smile and laughter could brighten any room. My prayers are with all her family and friends during this difficult time. God bless.
What a bright light Alicia was in this world! I have know her for many years and she was ALWAYS smiling, joyfull and enjoying life! From the Rodeo to the Lake and beyond! God wanted her closer to Him…guess we should be happy:)
I am so saddened by the tragic loss of Alicia. She was a true light – never without a smile – and will be truly missed.
My thoughts are with you all in this time of sorrow.
Alicia will always be remembered for her wonderful happy outlook on whatever life brought her way. She always had that sweet smile that she shared so freely with any and all that she met. We love you dearly. It is not good bye as you and I have discussed. It is only until I see you next time.
Alicia, such a sweet-souled person. It’s hard to believe that you’re gone, we will miss you. We are praying for your family, for only God can bring peace.
Your friends,
Kenny & Kathy Duron

Alicia – I am having a hard time making any sense of this. You were such a beautiful and caring soul and had nothing but love and kindness in your heart. Why God would take you away from us I don’t.

Goodbye for now my FRIEND…..
