Alicia was a beautiful person. She was my friend of youth and my example. She taught me to love Victorian things, pearls and Princess Diana. She introduced me to Gone with the Wind,  her favorite movie and Ann of Green Gables, my favorite movie. She introduced me to Prince Albert porcelain, trips to Solvang, Jessica McClintock dresses and Nina Ricchi perfume.  We laughed and cried together for a few years until she moved onto marriage and children and new friends. But for many years we walked together in Christ. Her love for truth and excellence shone there too. It hurts to know that she left this earth early, but we know God has received her into His glory, through Christ, that was the center of our lives and our hope. Alicia your friendship will always be a treasure in my life. I thank God for the honor. 

Alicia, Gaby, dear cousin…
My angel, no longer on earth but always in my heart. 
The impact of your life on mine is immense. You paved the way for me, both, in our family and in my faith. You were the eldest cousin, the first baby of our generation (with the Aceves’, anyways). You were also the first to introduce me to having a relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. You paved the way by faithfully attending church and leading us by example. You, Lori and Diana made it a point to always include Dania and I. We knew, with you 3, we were safe and loved. Our relationship has always been deeper than just cousins. Whenever I speak of you to people, I usually say, “They, (the three of them), are my angels on earth.”❤️❤️❤️  All my memories of you, bring a smile to my face and joy to my heart. Your elegance, grace, laugh, unique humor and great love will live in my heart and will be missed untill we meet again. 
Love you always, my sweet angel. 

 
I am so very sorry for your loss.   I cannot imagine the pain and sadness the entire family is going through.  She loved all her family so very much. She indeed was a beautiful soul that has left too soon.

There was a beautiful light from within in Alicia.  I will always remember her strong faith in God and how she always said if you put your trust in Him, things will always be better tomorrow.  She never was the kind of person to preach, she just showed in her actions how wonderful it was to believe in God.
She was my first friend when I started working at LHQ.  Till this day, I feel blessed that I could call her my friend.  
We used to joke about winning the lottery and she said that she already had won the lottery when she met her husband and was blessed with her beautiful daughters.    If I could choose a sister, it would have been her.  Thank you, my friend for your friendship and your wisdom.  Till we meet again.
God bless the family and help you through the difficult days ahead.







Our hearts go out to you with such a loss of the most beautiful mom, wife and friend. We have wonderful memories of our girls Amy and Brittany dancing, dressing up and school days at Kirkwood. Alicia spent every second of her lunch hour running around all over Downey in her mighty van for her girls and family. Alicia's time was sadly far too short but she always knew Who holds her eternity. She was a follower of Jesus and our comfort now is knowing she's with the Lord.  Until we meet you in Heaven Alicia, our prayers for God's comfort and peace for your beautiful family.

Peace Love And Blessings to the entire Alvarez Family ✝️ 🙏🏽✝️ 🙏🏽

Love Always Billie Manuel-Scott 

One Christmas when I was a little girl, I asked Aunt Alicia how she makes her gifts look so pretty - she stopped and taught me how to make a bow out of wired ribbon. Later, she took me to an all Christmas decor store to get my own ribbon. To this day I still make her bows and think of her often. Heaven gained a beautiful Angel.


Alicia was more than a co-worker. I enjoyed our talks about our children and life in general. She always spoke so highly about her wonderful husband and beautiful three daughters. Alicia was so kind to introduce me to a great hair stylist. We shared ideas and both enjoyed creative art projects for all the holidays. I was fortunate to share a copy of events with both Alicia and her wonderful sister in crafting.  I know she was over the moon with her grandchildren.  I was so happy that she was now enjoying another stage of her life. She will definitely be missed by all. I was fortunate to call her my friend. Until we meet again dear Alicia.  My deepest condolences to all her family.

My deepest sympathies to you and your family.


Alicia hated pictures but my gosh... loved the idea of having a celebration planned! Alicia laughed with my crazy ideas, way of talking in spanish and gosh laughed at memes, she always laughed and became my partner in crime (party planning). 

My darling Alicia, now I know I will not get to see you again in this world and that I'll have to miss you a little longer, I'm sending you my THANK you for loving me and caring for me during the time we had all the way to heaven! Until we meet again my dear friend! Love always: Gloria!
