A bright-eyed woman with a heart of gold, Alicia lived her life with compassion, grace, and elegance. Alicia deeply loved her sister Alma and her brother Raul; the bond they shared was very close. Alicia met her beloved Roberto, and shared a long happy life with him. They were always surrounded by family and friends. Alicia dedicated her life to her family, never missing a moment for her children, granddaughters, nieces and nephews; always attending their events and supporting them in chasing their dreams. The strength and courage she showed us all in her lifetime is a gift we treasure.
Alicia was a devoted member of her church; she and her sister Alma held fundraisers with priests in her home to help those in need. Alicia showed us what love looks like, and how it feels to be loved so brilliantly. Everyone that knows her knows her soul is full of light and love; an angel on Earth and now and angel in Heaven. Her kindness does not end with her. The love she showed and had for all of us will shine through in everything we do. Thank you for loving all of us with such immeasurable devotion.
