Sad News

Sue, please deliver my love and prayers.

Sue,

 

Thank you for representing all of us at the service tomorrow.

Please express our sincere condolences to Alicia's family.

[Pam in CA]

I'm so sorry to hear about this news. It's devastating. Please extend my sympathies to her family.

[Podgieree]

My prayers for Alicia are with you Allen. May she rest in peace. Amen.

Say Kruisey says "Thank you for kindness Alicia from Kruisey" when you say your prayers at the service Sue...........it is all so sad.

My deepest sympathy to Alicia's family. I believe Alicia was originally scheduled to go on our Panama Canal cruise in November but rescheduled due to her surgery. She was so lively and informative we were really looking forward to meeting her. She was one that really tried to keep the thread for the cruise going.

 

My heartfelt prayers are with her family and close friends. Sue, Please express our sorrow. She has given us all something which we all can cherish. We are with you in spirit.

 

When you think about, it is amazing what these boards can do to make friendships. Most of us do not know each other and are unlikely to do so, but the bonding that this board has show, particularly on such a difficult issue as this, illustrates the wonderful and good nature of humankind.

I was shocked to here this news! I met Alicia on the Summit in April. What a lovely, friendly, down to earth lady. I am so sorry to hear this news. My prayers to the family and especially Allen.

[stoneharborlady]

May God bless her, and the family who will miss her.

Hi!!! I just got back from Alicia's service!! When I signed the guest book, I put Dicke and I, and cruise critic. We were also mentioned in the service, as it was a great joy to her. He thanks you all for your kind and loving words, which Allen and their daughters have, and will continue, to read. Alicia was a nurse, like me, and I was not aware of that. She loved life, and had an awesome sense of humor!!! We will always miss her, but I believe she will be here with us always, and on cruises as well. I don't want us to forget her. She would not forget any one of us!!! :)

[kruisey]

Thank you Sue for representing us all.....we couldnot have picked a better person.

Gone, But Not Forgotten

~~ Written by Tina Johnson ~~

 

Wherever you are, whatever you do, whichever the day;

Your loved ones are never really far away.

Sometimes in life we endure pain that cannot be measured;

It could be loss of loved ones that we so richly treasured.

No, you may never understand and sometimes be unable to cope;

But remember that in every rainbow, there is new hope.

They are in your smiles and definitely in your heart;

Their love for you never ends no matter the distance apart.

Remember that they are up in Heaven above;

Surrounded by the greatest and purest of love.

Although your heart is still tender and the pain is still there;

Know that you’re never alone because we will always care.

No one pretends to know the depth of the loss that you feel;

For the pain and the sadness are so very real.

But look past the sadness and reach for the sky;

Your love continues to grow for them even as days go by.

Hold on tight to the memories and never let them go;

You have more blessings surrounding you than you’ll ever know.

Trust God in His wisdom and in His powerful ways;

And He’ll bring you comfort in all of your days.

Gone, but NOT forgotten... this much is true;

May you find peace in knowing that your loved one loves you.

How very sad :(

[Trijntje]

Although I did not know Alicia, it's always sad to hear that someone, full of plans, has past away.
My toughts are with her family. I send them straight across the ocean.

God Bless her family and friends.
Thanks, Sue, for representing the CCrs.

I know she is smiling down on her family right now. :)

[Aquarian]

Oh my, what a shock and so sad. Heartfelt sympathies to her family.

[CruiseNut7]

Our board has lost a good friend in Alicia.

I had the good fortunate to cruise with her and Alan this past May on the Celebrity Summit. We had a terrific group and she was dubbed "Her Royal Highness" (HRH). Her wonderful sense of humor, zest for life and love of family and friends will be missed by so many.

Sue, thank you for attending her service and representing all of us - it is so very much appreciated.

That is perfect, Diane!! Allen said she was given a type of wand, or she had one, and he wanted to bring it to the service!! It was special to both of them!! :)

[CruiseNut7]

Yes, Sue, she was royalty -- she did have her scepter with her on board! She had many "Summit Subjects" and we were proud to be her court -- from princesses and barons to jesters!

For our CC party, we wore tiaras (even Alan and a few of the guys adorned them - for a short time). Yes, a fine sight we were traipsing to our get-together wearing our mandatory tropical shirts and tiaras. What great memories.
