I will miss my note taking buddy at the church meetings we sat next to each other and helped take notes during the talks 🥰 I always made sure to tell her when we saw each other that she is one of my heroes ❤️ she indured a lot of medical issues and she always remained faithful to the Lord and was always thankful for what He did for her💖 now she gets to be with her Loving Savior and I know she is doing well and she will be waiting for the rest of us to come home ♥️ and 🎼🎶What A Day That Will Be 🎶🎼
We are so sorry. Our thoughts are with you all. ❤️ 🫂
Our hearts and prayers are with you all.
My thoughts and prayers to you Doug and your entire family.
I think the hardest thing in life is to lose a child. I am so sorry. You are all in my prayers.
We are happy for Alyssa, but sad for those who will miss her. Sometimes it was a smile and a little wave across a crowded room, sometimes a chat in the middle of a campground and lately a question with a nod or short written answer…but always the sweet smile that said “it’s good to see you.” So long for now, Alyssa. Love, Kathy and Roy
My heart is with you and your family.
So sorry to hear this — my thoughts and prayers are with you all. It is extra hard to lose a young person!
I’m so heartbroken to hear about your loss. Know that your love one soul is up in Heaven, and you’ll be reunited with her again in the future. I pray God gives you comfort and strength during this difficult time. May God give her soul eternal peace and a safe resting place with Allyssa. Our prayers for God’s comfort are with you and your family right now.
Matthew 5:4 – Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

I am so very sad to see this Doug, Jill and Ladeanna. It’s so very difficult to lose children and siblings. Hugs and prayers to all of you.
A wonderful person leaving behind wonderful memories.
Our hearts are heavy. You all have been on our minds nonstop as of late. You all are in our prayers, and we pray for comfort and understanding in God’s plan. Hallie and I love you guys.
Too soon! From our perspective! Too unreal to comprehend even now! But what a legacy! That girl was a worker, with a heart for service! In spite of so many hardships of health, things that would have stopped most people, but she just kept going, kept serving, kept blessing everyone she met!
Oh, yes, WE will miss her! But our LORD is smiling upon her as she wonders and rejoices in HIS presence!
” . . . to depart and be with Christ . . . is far better!” (Philippians 1:23c)
So sorry! Our thoughts and prayers are with the family! We just are returning from New Zealand so are at the airport checking in to go to Arizona! Please let us know if we can help in any way!
I’m so sorry to hear of Alyssa! Prayers to you!
alyssa was so full of life. she never let her physical ailments stop her from living her life or praising God. she will be so very missed. our hearts are heavy but we rejoice for her as she gains her ultimate reward
What a blessing Alyssa was for everyone she came in contact with! No matter her physical ailments, she didn’t allow them to stop her from serving the Lord. What an example she was for us all. My heart aches for you both Doug and Jill because I can’t imagine the emptiness you’ll feel when the dust settles. Just know that her suffering here on earth was temporary but her home in heaven eternal. I can’t wait to meet up with this dear sister again where they’ll be no more sorry and no more pain.
Romans 8:18
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. May the Lord bring you comfort as only He can
