Mr. & Mrs. Patterson and Family,
I was blessed to have known Alyssa. She was such a sweet and caring person, always armed with a beautiful smile, ready to lend a word of encouragement to those around her. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May the Lord comfort you and give you peace.

I am deeply saddened for your families loss by this tragedy. As I think of Alyssa, a smile comes to my face. All who knew her know that's the effect she had on people. I know Heaven became a brighter, happier place on Sunday morning and pray that her infectious sweetness will help all who loved her as they face the days ahead. Mike, Carolyn, Tara, Shane and Mrs. Cotten, I love you all dearly and will continue to Pray for you all as well as the rest of Alyssa's family.

Carolyn,
I know words do not bring comfort right now. Sandy and I are praying for you, Mike, Tara and Shane, as well as your mom and all of the other family members. My heart hurts for you so much. While we don't understand, we know that our Heavenly Father doesn't make mistakes. I pray for the peace of God to overwhelm you all in the days to come. We love you very much.

Tom and Sandy Ivey

Our hearts are breaking for you all... what a treasure Alyssa was to everyone she met. What a blessing Alyssa & Carolyn were when I was trying to plan my son's wedding and was clueless.... they both jumped right in, up to their knees, and made it work... and it was beautiful... just llike them.
Praying for God to send a peace that passes all understanding and a heavenly anesthesia... to carry you safely though this time of such great sorrow.
