It's so hard understanding the fact you are no longer with us ! I think about you everyday && wish you were still here with us !! I miss you so much you don't even know. Your birthday is coming up & that's all I could think about. Smh ;( this hurts so bad.. I just can't believe it. Rest easy !!

December 12, 2013

You are such a beautiful soul. Although I have never met her, I have the upmost respect for your mother for raising such a great young man. And I am so blessed to have had you in my life. I don't know why but sometimes I forget and still have this feeling that I'm going to see you or run into somewhere. Its so unreal.. But I know I will run into you in heaven and you'll greet me with the biggest best hugs just as you always did in the hallways of Kennedy. I miss you so much Alvin. I think about you every single day. I love you. I miss your hugs. I know the angels up there are lovin you and your charm and that smile that we all miss so much. I know you're watching over and looking out for us as you always have. See you later Alvy.

I got a call at 9am the night after Alvin was found out to be in another place , my heart dropped , I just seen Alvin a few weeks prior at a kick back and he gave me a big hug and graced me with his big smile ! Alvin is apart of my family , and he was always a joy to be around the few times that I got to spend personal time with him.. My wish is that all the family is comforted and at peace soon.

To Alvin's Friends and Family,

I just learned that Alvin no longer graces the earth, and I am so sorry. I had the privilege of teaching Science to Alvin when he was in 8th grade at Edward Harris Middle School. Alvin was a gentleman, even in 8th grade! He loved life and he brightened up the world around him. Yes, he had a beautiful smile and a good heart. May his spirit comfort you.

La Tifa (Sam) Lovies (Mother)

July 17, 2013

As I sit and read all of the beautiful, from the heart, truthful, respectable and loving remarks...my eyes are filled with tears that are flowing like a river. I love you so much Mr.Alvin Saivon Valentine. You were more unique than your name. I remember the day you were born like the day you were taken away. It's been such a honor to be your mother for the 19yrs that God has allowed me to be. I will always love you, your beautiful white pearly smile and your sense of humor.
Your Hugging Buddy...Mother or La Tifa (in my Alvin Saivon Valentine voice).
Rest In Peace Son until we hug again!

You were such a joyful person and no matter what you always made me laugh. Im going to miss your jokes and your bright smile. I love you Saivon! You are truly missed.

July 5, 2013

I had the pleasure of having Alvin in my PE class at EHMS...I'm heart broken for your loss. I remember his smile and his bigger than life personality. Middle school is a difficult time for many kids, but I can tell you Alvin was comfortable and assured of who he was. I'm great full that I had the opportunity to share a very brief period of Alvin's life. He was an amazing athlete and a genuine young man. I'm so sorry his life was cut short because I know he had such a bright future ahead of him. May you find peace in knowing that your son has touched so many during his lifetime.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.

Today I lost my butterfly, Someone made me lose my butterfly
His colors were unique, a design you never seen....Alvin was his name. You may of seen him some days, He would land on your shoulder & make you smile. His colors was so bright you couldn't help but see. Tiny butterfly given to me. I loved my butterfly & I didn't want him to leave but somebody took my butterfly from me. I want to remember my butterfly just the way he was color coded, flying high & landing where ever he pleased. But I am mad about my butterfly but Alvin would not want me to be. He was everyone's butterfly & now he can watch everyone at one time (just the way he would want it) for all eternity.

Sam, My prayers are for your healing and your strength. I remember your baby from football when he and my daughter and Nephew played for the Jr. PeeWee's for the North Sac Jr. Pacers. He was so polite and well mannered. I've heard nothing but great things about him during his life and now in death. That goes to show that you did a wonderful job raising him. I am truly sorry for your loss and I know that God will keep you during this time and heal your heart and spirit. From our family to yours, May the Lord God continue to keep you all through the days to come.
