I will always remember all the fun times of meeting to take our boys to some playground or park together. We always would chat and laugh. She was always there to offer advice to me on my homeschooling troubles and to bounce ideas off each other. In the short time I knew her we became close friends and I’m so grateful for those memories with her.
One more I have to add. I remember one homeschool class day had been a rough week for some of us teachers so Alcicia said she was gonna bring us a Sonic drink…I had never had a sonic limeade so she brought me one. I now love strawberry limeade. Needless to say we visit sonic on a regular basis cause Alicia told me about the app and how you can get drinks half off all day if you use that. My love of sonic limeade is due to her…will always think of her each time I get one
Alicia was a Gem. She was involved in many ministries at Pathway Church. Alicia was a mover and a shaker! She was on my team at one time and things got done! Alicia was a wonderful mom, friend and exemplary Christian. I am sure she is chatting with Ruth Coats and my mom. Two of the best women I ever knew. You got your halo girl, you deserve it! Love you.
Sad to hear of this news…what an amazing person Alicia was! She was a great person to have alongside you in a project or any team thing. She had the uncanny God given ability to know how one decision would affect the future and others. It was brilliant and very useful once I realized it! I admired her willingness to educate her kids at home and I bet she did an amazing job at that too. She will be greatly missed by many. Much love from Texas, Kevin & Emily McClure
Cami and I were so sad to hear about Alicia. She and Cami were best friends in elementary and continued that friendship into middle and high school. They were either at your home or ours. One memory that popped into my mind was when they cooked our family meal of spaghetti. They made up their own recipe which was not edible. We went out to eat. Kristi, I am so sad for you, her husband and children. Blessings and hugs. Margo Lytton
