Purple

It was her favorite color.
Purple.
She was beautiful inside and out.
Alyssa
17.
Forever.
I remember where I was when I heard the news.
I was on a break from a class at University.  Just called home to say hello, and my husband told me the news.  I learned nothing the rest of the day.  I just prayed.

I think about Alyssa often.  She was the same age as my son.  They went to school together.
She would be a senior in college this year too.

Today I think of you Alyssa and remember a lovely girl full of life.  You will never be forgotten.
