I remember our last conversation before the last day of school and the last time I would see her during school because I was swapping school that school year. She had the cute leggings with space and cats on them she also had the Disney leggings that she loved to wear. I will always miss her and I wish I could see her one last time, I will forever remember her. I miss you Alina, Rest In Peace forever. She was an amazing girl, person, and friend

I didn’t know Alina. But my heart hurts for her and her parents. I didn’t see what happened but I was the first one there after she was hit. I got a blanket from my car and covered her because it was cold. I stayed there with her until the help got there. My heart hurts for you losing this beautiful girl. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you.
Although I wasn’t very close with her when I was attending China Spring she was great and full of talent. I wish the Miller family love and I’m sorry for your loss.

Alina was a very nice girl she always britend my day i wish for her no more pain
Alina was by best friend at China spring. When I first came to China spring, she was the first student to show me kindness. I will truly miss her. I understand if you say no, but may I please attend the funeral? It would mean a lot to me and maybe help.
Melanie and Shawn,
We shared the experience of relocating our families to Waco during a pandemic, and seeing our children thrive in a new environment. Alina was brave and independent just like her mother. She took on the world over the last two years: going to school in person when many chose not to, practicing and trying out for cheer, making new friends in a small school where everyone already knows each other, and traveling with her grandparents. Alina conquered it all. We are devastated. Our deepest sympathies. -Lewis, Abby, Cora, and Clark
A poem I wrote
An Angel Gained
By Kyden Parrish
In loving memory of Alina Rose Miller July 23, 2009 – December 7, 2021
Down in the depths of my heart
Lives Alina, now in heaven
I wish we were not apart
Sending me to depression
An Angel was gained
In peace may she lay
In my heart obtained
An eternal rain today
God has a plan
For the Angel gained
My heart has ran to and fro
For the Angel gained
I wish heaven were not so far away
I wish I could reach her
And say, “I’ll miss you, always”
May she live in our hearts for all years
Giving me eternal tears

Melanie,
I am so sorry for your loss honey. Growing up together creates a strong bond between people. I am so happy your daughter was able to experience childhood and the onset of adolescence and all the joy it brings. So many nice things were said about your beautiful Alina. Meeting her at Walmart was a pleasure, as you can see she had your spirit, style, and sense of humor 🙂 May God hold you and your family in his hands. You are in our thoughts and in our prayers Miller and Korsgaard Families <3
