Alyssa Ramirez Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 26, 2015.
Alyssa Ramirez, a homecoming queen on her way home from prom, was killed Sunday by floodwaters in her hometown of Devine, Texas, according to multiple media reports. She was 18.

An obituary provided by the Hurley Funeral Home in Devine said Alyssa was the homecoming queen of Devine High School, where she also was a cheerleader who played tennis and volleyball.

She served as president of the student council and co-edited the high school yearbook, the obituary said.

Alyssa, who aspired to be an optometrist, "had deeply held beliefs in the Bible, which she often wrote about," according to the obituary.

I send my deepest condolences to the family. When we suffer great pains there always seems like there is no relief to cope. King David felt the same way and recorded those feelings at the 55th Psalms. His words are quite soothing to the soul. May the peace of God be with you.-Philipians 4:6,7.

To the Ramirez Family: I was so saddened to hear of your loss. I am sure Alyssa was very much aware of God's promise of "a future and a hope" by means of his Son, Christ Jesus. My petition is that you find comfort in the account of Jarius' daughter at Mark 5:41-42. It assures us that there is a future for Alyssa in the promised Paradise.

Losing a loved one can bring much grief. Please accept my sincere condolences. I love the promise at Psalm 147:3, "He heals the broken hearted; He binds up their wounds." May it bring you comfort in the days ahead.

I wanted to say how sorry I am about your beautiful Alyssa. I want to share something with you. I was worrying about some really stupid things. Then I read your story. I read about your love and faith. God used this tragedy to open my eyes. I hope this helps a little and I hope it reminds all of us that our God has a plan. I will be praying for your family and again, I am so sorry.

It broke my heart how these family lost their young, beautiful girl in this unexpected situation. Although sometimes, we cannot find the right words to comfort someone, we can imagine their pain. You are not alone, for God can become your stronghold. Psalms 46:1- May the Ramirez family be granted the strength, the inner peace, and find comfort under God's wings of protection.
