Alicia Carol Parker

I can't stop thinking every time I walk into my office and turn on my light that you will be looking down this way and see that I am still up. I look your way and the house is dark..... We used to know that if we saw a light on at any time of the night that it meant we could call one another.

I miss you already, I miss your positive and happy attitude and the compassion and caring that you felt towards others. I miss seeing our e-mails come into my mailbox. I miss sharing the news of Maya with you and of her new house that you were so excited about.

You would have gotten a chuckle out of what Maya said to me on Monday night..."Grandma, do you all of your shirts have dogs on them." I could hear your laughter over that one and feel the touch of your hand on my arm.

Missing you....

My condolences to all her many friends and family members. Godspeed Alicia.

I have only known Alicia since she and her mother started making the craft items for the hospital clown giveaways. They must have made hundreds of "fits" out of scrap yarn and lots of booklets from recycled greeting cards. Alicia and I teamed up to make "Flying Colors" for the radiation/oncology patients at Kettering Medical Center. I provided the crayons and Alicia cut out the wings. Each cancer patient was to have received a celebration Flying Colors as they completed their final radiation treatment.
We enjoyed her company at meetings and lunches together when she could take an hour off from caring for her mother. Alicia had a generous, caring, giving heart.
The extended weekend of Nov. 3 through Nov. 6, Alicia joined us for the Kentucky Clown Derby. She was selected for a clown makeup demonstration in a class then she had someone take a picture of her new clown face on her phone and she kept the makeup on all day!
My condolences to her family and her many friends. She will be missed.
Peace to you today and always, Anita "Folly" Gerstle, Anything But Serious Hospital Clown Troupe

I'm still trying to grasp the fact Alicia is no longer with us! But I believe she is probably much happier being with her mother once again.

My sincere condolences to her family and friends and all the organizations she volunteered for. She certainly will be missed.
