My sincere condolences to all the family. I met Alicia last year at my cousin Marina Gill's celebration of life at the Eagles Hall. She was such a beautiful person, we talked about how she knew my mom and sister. She was so nice, I felt a connection to her although I had never met her before. May she rest in eternal peace.
