Where & how do I start? First and for most,I would like to give thanks and praise our lord and savior Jesus Crist, for he has saved my daughter from all the pain and suffering this world has to offer. I would also like to give special thanks to all of family members, especialy those you gave support and did & went out of their way to help & commfort us during this time. I love you all 4ever. Thanks to the City of Sanger, Ca. and the people, my friends, who make this town the greastest in the world. There is love & passion here in this town from the kids to the parents, from the teachers and the cummunity. Sanger Pride runs deep through the roots of Sanger. THANK ALL OF YOU AND MY LOVE FROM MY HEART GOES OUT TO EVER SINGLE ONE OF YOU! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Alyssa Nadine Villanueva you know she reside in the Big White Heavenly house in the sky. As she smiles and look down on us, she still lives. She still does what she does? "You Know". The baller shot caller!" Yes the baller, shes up there pitching, K'n (Amanda Scott) for the lord, She's on the b-ball court making moves on moves, bust'n hoop (lil kobe). She stil tearing up turf on the soccer field, kicking butt (Mia Hemm). And you she's "CHEERLEEDING" for all of us (Go Sanger.. Go Sanger.. Go!) See that's Aly she gets the job done no matter what it is nor where she's at. See this is who she is a baller a true winner, intelligeant, she understood the formula for success, all the simple things instilled into her by a very loving father a vibirante man who loves her dearly. She always works hard at this, with a speacial fire and desire in her heart. This trait is what truely sets her apart. See she was not the biggest, nor the fastest, but ,she always had fuel for her fire (daddy), always. Her discipline was self administrated, her ethics were loving based. Believe me when I say she was the "real deal", almost unreal, but for 14 years bigger and more real than life. I know right know she stil plays, eats, sings, dances, and jokes around, laughs a giggles like crazy. See she is happy, that's all i, aly's daddy ever wanted for my little monkey, for her to be happy. Love you mija!
Lord please take care of her for me until I get there to serve you and protect her and share happiness with family & friends. I love you god and i also love you aly, missing you, and remember I got you baby girl, lil mommi! cuz if you didn't know now you know! What you gonna do lil mommi? You not gonna do nothing.... you gonna do everything, good girl i'm proud of you!!!!!! JOHN 3:16

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.

To the Villanueva Family: My sympathy goes out to you all and like always no words can change the feeling of sorrow your feeling deep inside your hearts but I know the feeling of losing a loved one very close to me in an ugly accident that stays within till this very day like it was yesterday and that was 3 yrs ago. The photo of Alyssa shows her bright smile and that she was a very happy girl. May god bless and guide you through the tough times of missing her and may god guide Alyssa as well to a better place where her soul may rest in peace. Take care Villanueva family and Gob Bless...

Dear Aly,

I was always told to live each day like it was your last and until something like this happens you realize how someone made such memorable memories like you did. We played softball together for such a short period of time but, the memories will last a lifetime. Laughing, playing cards, and watching movies were highlights of a great friendship. I believe that God was in the need of an extra angel that day. You will be missed tremendously!



Love your friends always,

We're distressed that you had to leave us so soon, but we find comfort in knowing that you're in a better place, and it won't be too long before we see you again. But in the meantime, watch over us and don't forget that we love you and will always miss you. You were such a great person, and such an awesome friend. You will stay with us in our hearts and in all the wonderful memories you left behind. Rest in Peace, Aly.

My deepest condolensces go out to the Villanueva family during your time of loss. No words can be spoken to mend your heart at this time. No words can make you feel better. The only person who can comfort you during this time is God. He knows you are grieving and although his purpose was to not hurt you or your family, He will comfort you during your time of need. She was needed Home for a reason that we don't know, but only God can answer that. She wsa lucky enough to have such a tremendous amount of friends who all came together to show their support to assist in her families time of need. As she watches from above, she is smiling. Her loss will leave a gap, a gap that can never be filled. Just remember, an Angel is called Home. Home awaits us all. But what hurts is not knowing who gets called Home first and not having them there physically anymore. Memories last a lifetime. God Bless you all..
