I miss you so much Alecia 💔 I could never imagine that last week when we were talking together that it would be the last time we did. You will forever be in my heart and soul. May you finally be at peace from the torment of life and be comforted in the arms of family that are there to welcome you 🙏. Your sweet Bailey will be loved and cared for please don't worry about her. I will not let anything happen to her. Till I see you again my girl, I love you 😢💔 Love Mom
This is what I posted the day I found out you had passed away....sending all who knew and loved you my condolences 💜
“When you lose a childhood friend, especially one that was only a little more than a stranger in adulthood, one who had their fair share of struggles, it makes you wonder. Wonder what life would look like had you stayed friends? Had you held tight to those “best friend 4-ever” necklaces you once exchanged? What if, those necklaces, held the same power today that they held all those years ago?
I don’t know.
What I do know is that any bad is forgiven and forgotten.
What I carry now, and always, is the beautiful, and downright hilarious (if I do say so myself) memories. You were my partner in crime, together we were a two woman comedy show, even if it was just us laughing. It was usually just us...
I will forever carry the good times.
JNCOs, sharing the same crushes, Jewel sing offs in my bedroom (you always won as you had an amazing singing voice and let’s face it, I’m god awful), torturing our 6th grade teacher (I still don’t feel nearly as bad as I should), cliff jumping in Palenville, South Lake, Woodstock 94’ (one of the most defining times of my life, and yours too, I’m sure), the time I locked you out of Kevin’s house and you peed in the front yard, which is directly on 9W, rollerblading, seeing each other through falling in love and heartbreak, softball, Fleet, the day your Dad picked us up from high school with a truck load FULL of cow manure (you were mortified but it was so perfectly your Dad), Kingston Carnival, summer school in Catskill, Sunflower perfume (you always put WAY too much on), the time you pretended to choke on a pearl necklace while in science class, I laughed so hard I peed my pants then got kicked out (as matter of fact your name makes an appearance on quite a few referrals), Smirnoff Ice, K104, trips to the mall, carrying around skateboards we didn’t actually know how to use, Kurt Cobain, the schools tater tots (🎵Tater-y Tots, tater-y tots, tater-y totsie, totsie, tots🎶 the song you wrote about them 😃), the time we got sent to the principals office, put in a conference room, together, alone...so we made a pot of coffee and ate danishes...that didn’t go over well, at all, but we enjoyed ourselves, well, until they called our parents.
I could go on forever. The memories just keep coming.
I wish I had told how much you meant to me while you were still here. I want to believe you knew but I’m not so sure. I hope somehow, someway you can feel how deeply I am mourning your loss. How deeply the joyous, unfiltered, unapologetic energy you once possessed will be missed.
I hope you can feel my gratitude for all the laughs.”
