Thinking of you today, Ali. We miss you so much.

June 22, 2013

The memories of Ali remain in our hearts and always will. I only met Ali a few times, but when she passed, the sadness was overwhelming. The community was shaken and we all felt as if a piece of our heart was missing. I still have the bracelet that says Team Ali and the date November 7, 2012 is engraved in my memory. Ali was and still is an inspiration to our community and a spirit that will remain with us throughout out high school years and throughout our lives.

The Mink Family, Though we never met Ali personally, our family has been praying fervently for her for the past two years. We prayed for a miracle, as we're certain you did. We are devastated by her loss and pray that Jesus and the Blessed Mother will wrap their cloaks of protection around your entire family. Your grief is unspeakable. Please know that we continue to pray for Ali and your family. We pray that your family feels her vibrant spirit everyday and her extraordinary love all around you. May God Bless You all and help you to sustain your grief. My family is collecting money for St. Jude's Children's Hospital in honor of your daughter's memory.

May god keep her at peace. What a most beautiful angel. God bless her family.

November 15, 2012

It's hard to know just what to say,
When one so young is taken away.
Far too soon she had to part,
Her memory forever engraved in our heart.

We only knew her for a short while,
But the life she led made us smile.
She was so beautiful and oh so rare,
Life as they say just isn't fair.

Those gone before her will watch her with care,
Till the day comes when we'll all join her there.

Know Ali is watching from heaven above,
And with each ray of sunshine, she's sending her love.

Dear Dave, Donna and Justin,

You and Ali have been in our hearts and prayers since this fight began. There are no words to express our empathy for your loss. On Thursday morning I shared Ali's story with my students and asked them to sing in honor of Ali and my teenage cousin Lauren who also died from brain cancer. I did the same with our audience that night and again they sang for Ali and Lauren. The song, "O Vos Omnes", is about the crucifiction. "All ye that pass by see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow. All ye my people, behold and see my sorrow, if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow." In our world, there is no greater sorrow like unto your sorrow..... Our love goes out to you. -- Nancy and Sierra
