I worked at North Island Naval Air Station with Alyce. She knew everyone's birthday and was so cheerful and warm to work with.
My mom,
Her love was the true definition of unconditional love. She loved us all, no matter what mistakes we made, or what we put her through. I was very lucky to have a mother that accepted EVERY part of me. She loved my family, my partner, my son, whole heartedly, without a regard to “normalcy.” She made my life easier in ways she’ll never know. I will always love her for that.
I will miss going to get our nails done together. I will miss having lunch with her at Coco’s. I will miss talking to her about basketball (even though she liked the Clippers more than the Lakers 🙄) and Dancing with the Stars. I’ll miss giving her a hard time about her non-diabetic grocery list that I ordered online for her every week. I’ll miss asking her, “Can you hear me now?” 😂I’ll miss telling her all about Casey’s soccer games and his projects in school. I’ll miss her at his 8th grade promotion and High School Graduation. I could go on and on, so let’s just say, I will miss her, ALWAYS AND FOREVER...❤️
She was stubborn and sassy. She was loyal and kind. She was my #1 fan. She was my BEST FRIEND. I can only hope that, someday, my son feels about me, the way I feel about her.
Dear mom,
I’m still so sorry I couldn’t fix this for you, but I’m happy you’re finally with the ones you’ve missed for so long. We’re all going to be ok here. You gave us all of you and we will hold on to that for our lifetimes. You were the best mom to me and the greatest grandma to Casey. I love you, mom, with every beat of my heart. I love you. 💕 RIP and give ‘em hell up there. 😂
My sweet aunt Alyce was my favorite aunt. I loved spending time with her whenever our family was in San Diego. She was so special to all her nieces and nephews. She told me that I was her favorite. I learned just recently that she told all of us that we were her favorite. I loved her laugh and her beautiful red hair. I was blessed to have her in my life.
