Alyssa and Tucker Holtzclaw

Todd,

I don't know if you remember me from High School, but I wanted to let you know that I saw your story on the news and my heart sank. I cannot imagine what you and your family must be going through. I did not know your wife and baby boy, but from what I have read and seen she must have been an incredible woman and he must have been a bundle of joy. My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family in this time of need. You are and will forever be in my thoughts and prayers. May God take you and your boys in his arms and comfort you!

I have not seen Alyssa since I was 18 years old - but I know her beautiful smile was shining every single day she was on this earth, and Heaven is brighter with her there. She was without question one of the sweetest, kindest, happiest people I ever had the pleasure of knowing. She touched my heart when we were in high school and she always had something nice to say, or offered a hug, or just smiled sweetly when she knew I was having a rough time. We didn't know each other that well, but she just had a way that made you feel like she cared about people and wanted everyone to be happy and feel love. I have thought of Alyssa, her beautiful boys, and her husband and family every day since I heard, and I pray every night for God's comfort and healing for all of you. Rest in Peace, beautiful Alyssa and sweet Tucker.

The Holtzclaw and Patterson Families:

Alyssa’s beautiful smile and joyful outlook on life will be greatly missed by all at St. Elizabeth. She not only touched the hearts of her colleagues but every person she came in contact with. Alyssa was a blessing to us all and I am privileged to have been a part of her life. The enormous love Alyssa had for her boys, was so evident in her voice and eyes when she spoke of them. May the loving memories of Alyssa and Tucker help all of you through this difficult tragedy. My prayers are with you. God Bless.

Our neighborhood is saddened by the loss of such a beautiful young woman and precious baby boy. Please know that our prayers and thoughts are with your family.

To my high school friend Carolyn and her family, I want to express my sorrow for the loss of your precious daughter and grandson. You all are in my prayers.

Life is so precious and all too soon it can slip away. But thanks to God through Christ we have a wondeful hope for the future. "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear the voice of Christ and come out." (John 5:28,29 Acts 24:15) Yes, you will see Alyssa and Jacob again because Christ will journey there to awaken them from sleep. (John 11:1,11-14,43,44) And the life to be enjoyed when this takes place is almost to wonderful to comtemplate. (Revelation 21:3,4 Psalms 37:11,29 Micah 4:4)

To the families of Alyssa and Tucker: From the halls of the high school to the halls of St. E, I never saw Alyssa without a smile on her face. She was an amazing person through and through and my heart is heavy with grief knowing that these two angels have been taken from you. Alyssa made a positive impact on ever persons life who had the blessing of coming in contact with her. I can see in Tuckers smile that he was the same way. God had greater plans for them than we ever could have down here. On Earth you had her strength, grace, and love beside you, in Heaven you have it behind you. May their wings wrap around you hold you in your time of sorrow. She will be greatly missed.

Todd I'm terribly sorry to hear about your loss. Your in my thoughts and prayer during this difficult time.

Although I had never met Alyssa and Tucker, I felt that I knew them through Mike. My heart goes out to all of the family and my prayers are with you at this time of your grief and sorrow. Only God knows how to help you and He will comfort you with his loving arms and the peace that only comes from Him. I am so very sorry for your loss. May God bless you all.

There is no question that Alyssa and tucker were loved very much. I haven't spoke to Alyssa since high school but doesn't change the fact we will all miss her. I think of her often and pray for peace and understanding of this entire thing for the family. I thank the lord for giving me the chance to call her friend.
