Very sorry indeed to learn of Alicias passing. Fond memories of our time together at Casting for Recovery in Scotland and of meeting up with her and Nancy in Stratford Upon Avon. Alicia was hugely inspirational to those of us fighting this horrid disease. Im grateful to have known her. Condolences to Kevin and her family and friends. X

So sad to read the news of Alicia passing, I too met her at Casting for Recovery, wonderful charity who arranges fly fishing retreats for people who have had BC, myself and the rest of the group always kept in touch and Alicia would always keep us up to date and entertained. RIP Alicia and my sincere condolences to her family. Xxx

So sorry to hear the sad news and to hear it so late. I met Alicia at a BC learn to fish weekend, she had come all the way from Florida to learn to fly cast in bonny Dundee - not many would do that! She then visited my home with Nancy last summer on another grand tour and spent time with myself and my family and got along famously with my then 12 year old. I had not realised she had such a natural affinity with children, but it was obvious how much of a connection was there. We are all sad to hear the news that she is no longer with us but know that while here she gave life and the medical profession all she had got and then some! She was a force thats for sure. Hope shes up there continuing where she left off and planning more vacations. Sadly she is the second of our small group to pass away this year, I hope she and Liz are having a good catch up. Love from Oonagh, Tony and Amelie

My sincerest condolences to the Laddon Family for the loss of your loved one, Alicia, and pray you find comfort in Psalms 91:2.

My heart is broken because we have lost a great spirit. A valiant woman and an inspiration. She was a great listener and I will miss her earthly company.
I will keep her family in prayer as they seek peace.
