Alyssa... it was a pleasure working with you. You taught me many things and work wouldn't have been the same without you. I have been deeply saddened by the terrible news and I pray every night that your soul may be happy and peaceful - wherever you are...I know you are not far. You are here with us, watching over us. I loved your spirit and your sense of humor. It was a privilege to know you. I know you are in a better place now. And to the Turner family: I cannot find enough words to express to you how sorry I am. She was a great person and I pray to God that he may give each and everyone of you the strength and hope to find joy in life again. God bless you all. She has peace now.

Alyssa was such a fun and beautiful girl. She lit up any room she was in. One Halloween she put about 30 ponytails in the hair of a bass player for one of Brad's bands. The guy was just speechless with delight because she was such a shining sparkling star. My love to the whole extended family and friends at this difficult time.
