Alyssa Paige Helwick

Alyssa, you have been gone for one year now but it is still very hard to believe. You are still so alive in our hearts and minds. We released one white dove today in your memory. I know you were there, the dove returns and lands on your brothers leg, still the big sister looking after her little brother. I know you wanted me to know you were at Austin's graduation also, the little girl who looked just like you, smiling at me as if to say, Hi Grammy! It is never going to be the same, but...

It's been a year since I picked you up from the airport and brought you back to live with Dakota and me at the apartment. Now I'm 7months pregnant and getting married as soon as Dakota gets into the Navy. We're having a boy. I wish it was a girl because I was planning on naming her Liliana Paige. I miss you, Aly. This pregnancy has been hard without you. There have been some complications and I haven't had you to keep me from going insane, but I know you're watching over us all. I love you,...

My Birthday entry did not save so I am writing again, to let you know you are still in our hearts and minds. We wished you a happy 20th birthday by sending off 20 pink balloons. Easter was spent at church then Kristi's, similiar to last year when we ended up at Kristi's for strawberry shortcake and an easter egg hunt. Love you with all our hearts...........

Alyssa, you are still so vivid in our hearts and minds. Five months now and we are missing you more and more.
You know one of your songs won single and song of the year.... If I Die Young...How special is that! Knowing you are a heavenly angel is the only thing that keeps us going. When we fall short here on earth, please put in some good words for us with God. Love you sooooo much, sissy

Your memory is always present; in things we do or places we go. It has been 4 months today since you left us and I still expect to see you come through the door......

Hey Aly, I've been thinking about you a lot as I am planning events for this year at FPU. You were a great secret sister. And then I get sad, but I know that you are having more fun up there than you could possibly have down here. I miss you <3
