Ms. Alicea was truly a great woman, and always so friendly. I enjoyed interacting with her at Cabrini and know she loved everyone she came in contact with. She loved to talk about her family and spoke of each one with so much joy. She is truly missed.

So sorry to lose Alicia. She was a very important part of my life growing up. She was family to the Daenen family for 32 years. She has been sadly missed for a long time. I hate to know that I will never have the opportunity to see her again. Gone but never to be forgotten.
