The matriarch of our family and a woman of gentle strength, deep love, and quiet grace. Her smile could bring comfort, her presence could bring peace, and her heart was always open to those she loved. She carried warmth wherever she went and made people feel seen, welcomed and cared for. She was the kind of person whose love did not ask for attention, yet left a lasting imprint on every life she touched. Her laughter, her kindness, and her unwavering devotion to family will forever be cherished. Though her physical presence is gone, Alicia lives on in the memories we hold close, in the stories we tell, and in the love that will never fade. She will always be remembered for her beautiful spirit and the light she brought into this world. Forever Loved. Forever remembered. Forever in our hearts.
3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: "Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." Revelation 21: 3-4
