Alicia Armstrong Obituary
Life is not given to us by choice, yet by chance. She would not want us to weep for her, yet to celebrate her life as the great daughter, mother, cousin, and friend that she was. From early childhood on she was always a friend you could count on and that's how everyone should remember her. Death is not the end yet the beginning of something beautiful. At times like these it's hard to imagine that. Try and think they are not gone, yet with us in our memories and our hearts forever until we meet again.

Her hand resting on her big belly
A bond formed unlike any other
"My love for you never ends bug"
She whispered as it was time to be a mother
She smiled as she never closed her eyes
Wanting to never stop watching
"My love for you never ends bug"
With their blue eyes matching
Her baby growing older
Never leaving her side
"I love you always Mama"
Her smile not able to hide
She grew sick and tired
Always sleeping, never waking
"I love you always Mama"
Their hearts now aching
She never opened her eyes again
She already captured every sight
Her baby wished for more
In fear of forgetting her light
"You promised me forever Mama"
Her baby cried out to the sky
Never getting a response
Never ready to say goodbye
She was in her baby's dreams
She was in her baby's mind
"My love for you never ends bug"
Her words always so kind
There is not one day that passes
Where she loves her baby any less
Her words played over and over again
Her baby's heart a mess
Love you Mommy... Your Baby

I dreamt of you the other night maybe because your birthday was approaching and for a brief moment I was so happy. Then I awoke and reality set in. I miss you my love, more than anyone can ever know. How I wish I could go back in time to March 22nd, so much would be different, we would be celebrating your 38th birthday tomorrow. I love you...Mom

Yesterday was the 37th anniversary of the day you were born. It was the best day of my life, thankfully I'll always have that memory. I wish I could say Happy Birthday, but there's nothing happy about this day anymore. Love you always...Mom

I heard something today that made me think of you, and found this page when I searched to see if your Facebook was still up. You could be exasperating and I can be hard. You probably didn't realize how much I cared, but I did. You made my life lighter and brighter and gave me a helpful kick when I got too dark. I miss you often, but today I missed you enough to cry over it.

The question I asked last year still stands, when does this get any easier my love...I think never. Your memory never dims. I love you. Mom

If there is an afterlife, I'm sure you are dancing and celebrating the day you were born, the best day of my life. I love you and miss you every minute of every day...Mom

You were everything to me. You held me when I was scared. You watched scary movies with me late at night and even though you would fall asleep, you would always seem to wake up at certain parts to cover my eyes. When I would be on the drive to Virginia I would always try to think of ways to surprise you with a visit. Two years ago I lost you, I lost my best friend that day, the person I loved most in this world, and part of my heart that day. Now that you are gone I have to re-think my whole life, the things I will do, who is going to be there when I have a baby, who is going to help me find my wedding dress and my graduation dress. I lost part of me two and a half years ago. Your birthday hurts so much now, I have no one to call, all I can do it call Mimi and tell her how much it hurts. In school people tell me stories about their moms and all that I can do is stay quiet because none of my friends know you and they don't understand. Your my mom, our favorite song was girls just want to have fun, our favorite movie genre was horror. When I was doubting things at school, when I thought I had no friends I knew that you loved me because you knew how to show it,I felt your love every single day of my life. People now tell me to remember how much you loved me and sometimes that is all that I can think about, I feel your love come crushing down on me like rain. I am starting to forget the little things, the things that mattered. I would do anything to get you back, but in the meantime, don't remember how much you mean to me and how much I love you
always, your baby girl

I love you. I miss you and I am so lucky to have your kids my niece and nephew to remind me of you everyday. Reading your moms post below reminds me it doesn't get easier on you not when you loose a child, sibling or close cousin like we all have. Make sure you and Ryan continue to watch over us all we need you both to do just that.

March 23, 2014 was the most devastating day of my life. Some days it seems like a million years ago since I lost you, others, it was only a second ago. When the door alarm sounds, I still sometimes think, "oh, Alicia's home". Then reality sets in. Many people tell me it will get easier...my question is "when". Love you so much. Mom

Today is Alicia's daughter, Kayleigh's, 14th birthday. Alicia would be so proud of the wonderful, loving young woman she has become. Kayleigh, please always remember that your Mom loved you so very much. This day 14 years ago, was probably the most scary and most joyous day in her life. She cried in pain, then she cried for joy at your birth. Love Mimi

Today is Alicia's beautiful daughter Kayleigh's birthday. Alicia would have been so very proud of the wonderful, loving person Kayleigh has become. When you read this, Kayleigh, know your Mom loved you more than you can ever imagine. While 14 years ago today may have been very scary for her, it was truly the most wonderful and beautiful day of her life. Your entry into the world gave her joy I cannot put into words.

Not a day goes by that I don't miss you my beautiful cousin. I have become so close to my niece and I honestly couldn't be more proud at the young lady she has become. Words can't explain how much I honestly miss you.
February 19, 2015
Today would have been Alicia's 35th Birthday. I love you just as much today as the day I gave birth to you. I am thankful that you live on for me through Kayleigh and Ian. I Love you always, Mom

Linda,
It has been a very long time since we have talked. I missed you at Ryans service. Like you I lost my only daughter in 2001 she was eighteen. There just is nothing that can describe how we feel. There is also nothing that I can say to you that will ease your pain. I have been there. I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you and sending lots of prayers your way. Alicia I only just met you a little over a year ago even so I loved you.

Steve, Linda and entire family, you are all in our thoughts during this most difficult time in your lives. May you always remember the little things, the small every day occurrences, the laughs, the smiles and the stories. May you all take comfort in knowing that an Angel is now watching over you all.
Love the Dean Family

I will keep it burning for you always. I miss receiving my voice messages from you always telling me you loved me and you knew I needed my time to grieve Ryan (my brother your cousin) but you just wanted me to know you loved me and I will miss all the trouble we would get in growing up. Basically I will miss everything. I know you are at peace and I promise you I will make sure that we get to see the kids more b/c you loved them so much and they are a piece of you. We not only have the same tattoo on our backs but we share the same blood dear cousin that can never change. I love you so much. Keep watching over us all. I could go on but I won't just know I love you so much and miss you. May you RIP Alicia. Love always ~Blair~

My sweet, beautiful cousin, I am so thankful god brought you into my life if just for a short time. You were not only beautiful on the outside you were beautiful on the inside and you touched my heart in a way I will never forget. I pray your children take comfort in knowing how much you love them, I know they were the light of your life! Every time we talked, we talked about your children and your love of family! You touched so many lives and left an impression on all of our heats! I will always keep you and the memories we created close! Gone from our sight but never our hearts! I love you and will miss you! God speed sweet angel!
