To my dearest Marotta and Linihan Family - There are no words, just a heavy heart full of love for all of you! I offer you my deepest and sincerest condolences!
"Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow, but remember me in every tomorrow. Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles, I've only gone to rest a while. So dry your eyes and remember me, not as I am now, but as I used to be. Because I will remember you and look on with a smile. Understand in you hearts, I've gone to rest a while. As long as I have the love of each of you, I will live life in the hearts of all of you." Rest easy sweet Lish! ~ She's as sweet as Tupolo honey, she's an angel of the first degree.

Words cannot express the void that is left with Alicia's passing. Alicia touched everyone's life and left a positive mark on them. There are not enough words to express her kindness, down to earth attitude, loving heart and generous spirit. Her face lit up with a smile every time we saw her. Please know we have everyone in our thoughts, prayers and hearts. She will forever be missed but never forgotten.

There are no words. All I can think of is the way Alicia would light up when she saw a friend or when she spoke of her children, or Brian and their business or their community - be it Cleveland Heights, St. Dominic's, Beaumont or small business. Please know how closely you are held in hearts and prayers.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
