Alyssa walked into a room and seemed to own it. Although young in years….she was sassy and wise. I truly loved her infectious smile, confident demeanor and funny antics. I cant believe this beautiful soul didn’t have more living to do. Rest now pretty girl….rest.

To the family and friends,
I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one.
We live on a beautiful earth. How long does God want humans to live on the earth?
He told Adam if they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and bad he would surely die (Genesis 2:17). So if they hadn’t eaten from that tree they would not have grown old and died. We all came from Adam and Eve, so we have inherited imperfection and death (Acts 17:26). Romans 5:12 says: “That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned.” Even though Adam and Eve disobeyed God, God has not changed his purpose for the earth and humans living forever on it. After God cleans the earth off of all wicked people, then he will make it possible for humans to live forever on the earth. Please read Psalm 37:9-11 and 29. Through God’s kingdom government with Jesus as the king, God’s will will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10).
Then our dead loved ones will come back to life (Acts 24:15)!

After I read about Alyssa’s recent death after just 21 short years of precious life, I wanted to express my feelings of sympathy for Adalyn and the Anderson family and friends. I know Alyssa has left you with many precious memories and will be greatly missed. When our loved ones fall asleep in death, the pain and grief seems unbearable. Our loving God. Jehovah (Psalm 83:18), understands how we feel and he comforts us by means of his word the Bible. Psalm 34: 18 tells us: “Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Jehovah invites you to throw all your burdens on him and he will sustain you in your time of grief. Most of us have seen this enemy death claim the lives of people dear to us. But Jehovah God promises to destroy this enemy, death, once and for all. Rev. 21: 4; tells us: “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” (Isaiah 25: 8, 1 Corinthians 15: 26) Isaiah 26:19 “Your dead will live……And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life.” Isaiah 25:8 “He will swallow up death forever. For Jehovah himself has spoken it.” For more comforting scriptures please visit: http://bit.ly/1K38EFt. It has given me hope, strengthened my faith and helped me find the answer to Why? I know it will do the same for you. John 17:3 God’s kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for at Matt. 6: 9, 10 will bring about these wonderful promises including the resurrection. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, but we are all guaranteed a resurrection (John 5: 28, John 6: 40, John 11:23-25) I offer my sincere condolences to the family.
