Our precious earthly angel was call to eternal rest after an 11 month valiant fight with a brainstem tumor. Alyssa lived a life full of love and abundance of happiness. Alyssa's best times were the many that were shared with her family and friends, Alyssa had the ability to connect with both the young and old and although she was a child she often had perspectives that were beyond her years.

Some of Alyssa's favorite things to do were to cook, create artwork, play softball, have dance parties with her cousins and make music videos with her friends.
