Happy birthday sweet girl. You are so loved, even now. It warms my heart to visit this page and see so many people sharing their memories of you. If anyone reading this page has stories to share about Alaina, please message me! I want to make sure the brightness of your life doesn’t ever overshadow the circumstances of your death. You were, my and still are, such an amazing and special person. - Alexia , Fri, 16 Dec 2022 12:57PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I doubt anyone reads this, but I wanted to get my feelings out anyway. Alaina was my “book buddy” in elementary school where she had to read to me. I remember her being so sweet and beautiful, and I really looked up to her. After reading every single one of these comments, it really shows that everyone felt that way about her and that she had such an impact on people. It breaks my heart to know she was feeling alone and bullied. Anyway, for some reason I think about her every now and then. I hope her family has gotten through this pain and I pray there is an afterlife where they will see her again. - Amanda Wrazin, Thu, 25 Oct 2018 10:11AM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Every now and then a very distinct memory enters my mind....One afternoon at Dickerson the two of us were in the girls bathroom making a pit stop on our way to Chorus. All I can remember is this amazing smile. Alaina, you lit up the world. You are missed every single day by so many. - Loving Friend, Fri, 13 Apr 2012 9:10PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I miss you... Will never stop thinking about you. Rest in paradise sweet girl. - Erin, Sun, 4 Dec 2011 7:33AM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Hey cuz. how have you been. I cant believe how long its been. I just got done looking at all of your pictures and it reminded me just how vibrant and full of life you were. I also realized that you're even more beautiful than ever. There's no way to describe how much we all miss you. Every time the family is together i can't help but think about you and jimbo and how much different it would be with you two around. I can't imagine how many more memories we could have had together. I just wanted to let you know we all love and miss you. you are in are minds and prayers and always will be. I'll see you later but until then you and jimbo keep an eye on us all. Love you. RIP. - chris , Thu, 21 Jan 2010 5:54PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I feel like it was just yesterday when you were just a phone call away. I miss you so much Alaina, wish you were with us.. - Leah, Thu, 22 Oct 2009 9:25PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
hey g-hop! its been a long 6 years without you and when i think about all the times we could have had together it makes me miss you so much. Every year i can't help but remember all the ridiculous things we used to do! From playing pranks on your poor sisters to watching silly movies and torturing your brothers, we had some amazing times. I know you are my angel now, and you are up in heaven having a blast with K&K. I miss you every day and will NEVER forget your amazing smile and hugs that made all my problems go away. I miss u grasshopper, love always, prof - linz, Mon, 1 Dec 2008 8:37PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
i never knew you, but after coming to know and love all of your family i feel like i did. i've even found myself missing you. isnt that crazy? im sorry for this crazy world; i wish it were better fit for our fight for survival. even crazier than the fact that i've found myself missing you is the fact that ive found myself loving you... i wish we could be friends. here. today. i love you. and i miss you. - 000000000, Sun, 23 Nov 2008 9:22PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alaina, I only knew you three weeks. Three short, seemingly insignificant weeks. And yet, you've defined every major decision of my life. Maybe I just think of an image of you, a childhood memory that I've warped over the years, but still. It's always been you to both send me into depression and pull me out of it. The thought of you, and the little that I truly knew about you, has always been there with me. I wish things had ended differently, but they didn't. I'll never be glad that it happened, but you made me who I am today. If you hadn't affected my life in such a huge way, I would've been a completely different person. That I can promise. Thank you for changing my life, for making me who I am today. I may not always love myself, but now I have the strength to accept that. Thank you for giving me the courage to continue living. Thank you. - Alex, your confused soldier, Thu, 15 May 2008 10:53PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Alaina, It has taken me this long to get the nerve to look up this website. I still can't find the strength to look at your pictures. We miss you terribly.

Hey love, i just wanted to wish you a happy birthday. I know you're going to be shaking the clouds tonight. - Alexiaa, Fri, 16 Dec 2005 4:45AM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hey Darling. It's been three years today. I can't believe that you're not here. The time has flown by, but there's never a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I look at all those pictures of you, thinking that there are going to be more recent ones put up, and as familiar as these pictures are, your beauty amazes me every time. Alaina, I know you're not here physically with us, but you're here in spirit, and I know that you're watching over us. I remember the sixth grade, our literacy class and homeroom; I remember how we drifted apart as the middle school years passed, but I had deep respect and admiration for you that will never stop growing. I learn from you, even though you're not here, and I thank you for being mine (and everyone else's) personal guardian angel. I saw your little sister, Stephanie the other day at church. I was so happy to see her, and amazed at how she's grown! Anyway, JJ, I miss you and love you always. Talk to you soon...Nicole Foo. - To my Jiggly Jello!, Thu, 1 Dec 2005 3:03PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lanier... Thanksgiving break is here... All I can think about it what happened years ago from this vacation time. It's weird, thinking that you have been gone for so long, yet the memories just keep getting more vivid. I had a dream about you last night, and when I woke up and realized it was just a dream, and you really aren't here, all I could do was cry. I am still in shock about the reality of what happened to you. The thought of you also brings me to some funny memories of ours. The Hills are Alive if you Need Them! How mature were we? hahaa, I'll never forget that. And I remember that time that you, Alexia, and I did MTV Music awards. And there was that song that you dressed like a idiot and we were expecting it to be so funny, and all you did was sit and stare!! You were too funny! Alaina, I miss you more and more everyday. I hope you are happy where ever you are. I love you and miss you babe! - Danielle (aka Froggy), Tue, 22 Nov 2005 1:05PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hey Alaina this week a friend of mine died on Monday in a car wreck and his funeral was today and when i was there all that i could think about was how he was going to be joining you and how you two can take care of each other. I can't believe that its been this long sense you've passed....I Miss you sooo much. Its so hard losing two of your closet friends but you will always be with us in our hearts. I love you babe. Take care of Cameran for me. - Kaila, Fri, 9 Sep 2005 10:06PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hey Alaina. Talked to Sara today about you and how long it's been since you've been gone. We're amazed at how much you affected us, and we know that you're resting in peace watching over all of us. We start to forget your laugh, or how your hair felt, or what you smelled like, but Alaina, your spirit is ALWAYS with us. We all miss you more every day and know that we will meet again in the future. Love you always. - Nicole, Sun, 10 Jul 2005 5:25PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Don't ask me why I am writing in the middle of the summer. Its not your birthday or the anniversary of you leaving, but its just one of those days where you come to my mind. A couple of days ago I was passing Winward parkway going shopping and right there in the car i started crying. My mom remembered the day you, me, rachel and allison went over to your dads old house to make up our fifth grade talent show dance. And all those hilrearous pictures we took bu the pool, We got manicures ha and you were the first one who taught me how to shave my legs. You were possibly the friend to me ever. A couple of month ago Nicole Foo called me in shock that she found a email from you to both of us when we were in sixth grade. I remember looking in the office to you and your dad crying in the counselors office at dickerson from something that had happened. But who would of known two years later I would be sitting in that same office bawling. I cant be mad at you because this is what you wanted, but I can say that I miss you. And when we gather for a pep rally I think about how much fun you would be, and football games that we used to go watch our brothers play. Its the little things in high school that sadly you will never experience. you'll never get to go to a prom or gala, a powder puff game, and its so weird that you dont even know what an i pod is. but I think your spirit is still in all the students that will go to all these events that you cant, and when they are listening to their i pod they have that one song that reminds them of you. You were the most incredible friend to me as well as so many othe great people. I will never forget you, and thanks for all the great memories that you have given me to remember. miss you. - Elizabeth C, Sat, 25 Jun 2005 9:55AM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

To Alaina's family and friends... This loss is terrible! Two years later and still not even a bit forgotten! Alaina was an amazing person! She always had a smile on her face! She was the happiest person I had even known. To think someone who seems so happy can hide so much pain haunts us! Alaina I love you, and to her friends and family, she is always in your heart! She can always hear you and see you if you want her there, so don't forget she is still on the inside of you. You all are in my prayers!

To think two years has already passed blows my mind. It seems like just yesterday we were the best of friends. Lanier, no Maggie, no just Alaina! Every memory I have of you is an amazing one. In fifth and sixth grade, my biggest worry was us not being best friends. It never even crossed my mind that I would ever have to live without you. Although we grew apart in seventh and eigth grade, it still haunts me to think that I would walk in the hall and not see your smiling face. I have so many fond memories of you that will never fade. In fact, these memories only become more vivid at every thought. Thank you for teaching me all you did. All though we can't physically be together, I know you are in my heart and watching down on us always. I love and miss you Alaina! Rest in Peace! - Danielle Silver, Wed, 1 Dec 2004 6:41PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Its been two years today and i still cant believe that your gone. I remeber all the awesome times we had together and how much fun you were. I have and will always will remeber you girl! I love you... - Teresa Asalone, Wed, 1 Dec 2004 12:07PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alaina--two years! Man...it's flown by, and not a day passes that I don't wish you were here with us. I know I haven't been on this website in a while, although occassionally I check back on, and though I don't usual say anything, know that you're always in my heart. Your beautiful smile and amazing personality will forever charm us all. I miss you with everything that I am and only wish for you to continue watching over us as you have been for the past couple of years. We miss you, baby, and we love you.

Alaina- wow, it has already been two years.. when i came to this web site I realized that some people will remember december first and it will blow over some peoples heads. I will never forget you and our great times we had together in fifth to about seventh grade. I cant say they were all happy times, but i look back and see that you were the happiest, funniest girl i had as a friend aand I wish you could bring me that on this sad day. You are in a far better place than here on earth. I just wanted to let you know that I miss you, and I will never forget you.

It's almost been two years.. and looking at these pictures take me back to memory lane.. how she would come over and we'd walk and eat at chilis and see JIMI! get our nails done and have her get picked up.. our little sleepovers and such.. all i wonder is what it would be like if she were here.. honestly, ive heard many rumors since day 1 but it's not my place to start accusing people and thinking reasons.. she's in a much better place now and she now knows that people miss her like crazy.. i love you alaina - Leah Yi, Mon, 29 Nov 2004 4:19PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I still think about you everyday, I miss everything about you love. - missin' you..., Sun, 28 Nov 2004 4:45PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alaina, its November 28th, the sunday after Thanksgiving, almost a year after you left us. I was thinking back to 8th grade. I remember when we would stand in the bathroom before chorus and completly make fun of eachother's butts...So great. I miss you Alaina. We were never very close, but you were definitely one i loved to see everyday because you always had a big smile on your face. You brought nothing but happiness into this world. Although you have passed, and you have had your time here on earth, i know you are looking over all of us from above. And i know i will see you again when it's my time to join you in heaven. Just remember one thing: YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. Don't forget it. I love you alaina. R.I.P. - A small but true friend, Sun, 28 Nov 2004 7:04AM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
-Alaina- I read this page every once and awhile. Usually i read the same ones, but everytime they seem so new and sad. Its weird to me to think I am the age you were when this happened to you.It makes me feel so young. You always had this older Essence i guess.Maybe its because I was so young. I always saw you and your friends and i wanted to be like you guys, exspecially you. You guys seemed perfect, and happy always. I always seem to go back to thinking about a month maybe before you passing away. I was coming over to see Lexie, and your parents wernt home. I heard this really weird, depressing music playing really loudly frpm your room.I questioned it, but i never thought it could be anything like it was.I thought maybe you were having a bad day or something. Or sometimes i think about the time your parents wernt home aging. I was trying to go see Alexia again, and you were like holding me back and not letting me inside. We were laughing so hard.But i did end up getting in.haha. Its weird. I miss you do much.Its also odd how randomly you were gone.you basicly disappered or something. Or remeber when you gave me, lexie and Squid makeovers?! That was really fun. Or when i was at your house (Mom's) and you and your pretty friend were tanning.That was when me and Lexie were just becoming BESTfriends! I knew you really loved me. Even if i was some little 5th/6th grader.You and me always had some little connection. It always makes me happy to think about it.No one else really knew what our little connection was, but we did. i cant explain it.and i dont think i ever will be able to.I love you. And i really miss you.I want to talk to you more.Take Care of your family and friends. Again, i love and miss you. - *your other Little Sister*, Thu, 30 Sep 2004 2:55PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

it's been a whole year today since you've been gone and i can't tell you how many times i've thought about you everyday. now our class is in highschool, soon to be finishing our first semester. it doesn't feel right without you. i miss you so much. we all do. today, a lot of us wore yellow ribbons in honor of you, including myself. it was the most touching thing i'd ever seen. you're not forgotten, love. you never will be. i miss your beautiful smile and your laugh that could make anyone's day. but it helps to think that i'll see you again someday. you were such a beautiful person and i'm sure that the only way you've changed is that now you're an even more beautiful angel. i think about you all the time. i love and miss you very much. keep us safe.

Alaina... It has been eleven months since everything happened and I still think about you everyday. I miss you so much. Nothing is the same. I remember you once told me that highschool was going to be the best years of our lives, and your right I have had so much fun, but things would be even better with you here. I wish you were here to give me advise and just have a good time with me. Nothing will ever be the same. I went back 2 Dickerson the other day, and saw Ms. Lamm. That day I thought about you a lot, and how much fun we used to have in that class. So many people cared about you and still think about you every day. I just wish I could see you. I miss you more each and every day. You taught me a lot, and even though your gone you are still teaching me somehting new eveyerday. You have taught me that you should be nice to everyone and live each day as if it were your last just like you always did. I will never forget you Alaina. I have been thinking about you a lot lately and I really miss you and hope your okay. I love you Alaina.

I never knew Alaina but she seemed like SUCH an amazing person! My friend knew her and I only wish I could've met her- she was clearly gorgeous and loved by many. I still don't understand what would cause such an amazing girl to kill herself- How? Why? It just doesn't make sence. We had an assembly at school- the guy said that everyone has a mask- Alaina had one, too. I look at this site at least once a week and im amazed- she was so preety and everyone loved her. People are SO mean in this world- get over yourself whoever caused Alaina to do this. I mean it really sucks how people have to die to show how rude and awful it is to be mean. You guys wasted a BEAUTIFUL LIFE! To Alaina: I wish I had known you and I consider you as a friend because I pray for you- I cried for you- and I talk to you about my problems. RIP! I hope your looking down on all of us and smiling like you always did. I love you!! - A Girl, Fri, 31 Oct 2003 6:58PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I am sorry to say that i never had the pleasure of knowing Alaina or any of her family, but i did know her through her sisters friend and as i sit here reading these guest book entries i can feel the hurt of her friends and family. I can tell that she was a truly special person and i can only hope that others thing as highly of me. I know that one of Alaina's sister's friends loved Alaina so much and because of this, i too love her and i know that she was loved by so many. - someone you never knew cared about you, Thu, 21 Aug 2003 9:22AM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alaina... i cannot tell u enough how much we all miss you! There is not one day of my life where i don't think about you... you're beautiful smile and ur loving personality... I just wish you knew what you were doing! Recently my aunt attempted to commit suicide and failed and now she realized how big of a mistake she made! I wish you would have known how much people care about you alaina! You had a major impact on everyone's life and the only thing i can ask is why would such a wonderful girl end up in that position? Whenever I think of you the first thing i remember is your amazing smile... in chorus you were always laughing and having fun... you also made everyone else in the class smile along! We miss you so much alaina and i cry for you often! I pray that you are watching down on all of us right now and that we'll some day join you again! I love you so much Alaina and i wish with all my heart that you could come back to us!

*the love lingers on, the hurt people are still hurt, the amazing smile still lays in our minds and souls, the laugh and joy will always be in our hearts, every day that comes and goes, you are thought about , not just by me, by everyone, you are loved, you are missed, you are still a part of everybodys life, it still hasnt sunk in, that you are really gone, the name brings tears to my eyes. as i sit here, writing this, crying my eyes out, i remember what Alaina was like, a fun loving person, a truly beautiful girl, who would grow up to be a truly beautiful woman, even if that chance is no longer able, you will always be amazing, wonderful, a part of everybodys world, in your own way, you are remembered differently by every person, but yet, remembered in the same happy way. i remember Alaina, many ways, at the back of the bus, smiling and laughing, at the bus stop, talking on with her sweet voice, walking down the halls of dickerson, crowded by people, who all just wanted to be like her. Alaina, you were and still are a wonderful girl, and you will never be forgotten. In Loving Memory of Alaina Mary Arani. - hurt person, Sat, 2 Aug 2003 7:01AM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
i dream about you Alaina, they depress me, and i realize once again, how hurt everyone was. i cant stop myself from crying, whenever i think about you, everything is so different without you, for example, the bus wasnt nearly as cool without you, and when i walked up to yalls bus stop, you wouldnt be there to talk to you. i wish you could just come back Alaina, we all love you and miss you so much. I love you and miss you also! you will always be in my heart Alaina, ALWAYS - rachel from the neighborhood, Sat, 2 Aug 2003 6:49AM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It has been almost six months, the longest, hard six months of my life. Every day I pray for you. The Eighth Grade dance was a couple of weeks ago, and unlike the other ones, it was actually pretty fun. I started to cry when our song came on, and all I could think about is how much fun you would have had and how you would have been dancing and enjoying yourself. And when we finally finished this horrible school year, all I could think about was you. I wish I could just let it go, but it is always there and it will never just be over. I love you so much. I am sorry for all the pain you suffere. You were such a beautiful, smart girl and I miss having someone to talk to when I am sad.I loved you for who you were. Did you know that 3494 people have visited a website created for you. Tour legacy will live on forever and it will never be forgotten. I know that you are looking down from heaven on me, but its not easy trying to live life without your beautiful smile every day. I will never forget all of the wonderful times we spent talking, laughing, and crying. You were the most happiest person I have ever met, and I am still trying to grasp the fact that you are gone. You hid your tears behind your smile, but now it is all over. You can't feel the pain anymore, but it is bleeding through our hearts. There was a hole in your heart that could not be mended and now it is a part of mine. I just wish you could be here for me when I cry and tell me that everything is going to be okay. You are a sweet angel now, and I know you hear me when I speak to you. Although you cant answer me I know that you are there. I just wish you could have a second chance, but it is too late for you now. Rest In Peace Alaina your spirit lives on through my soul.

I didn't really know alaina that well but alexia is one of my good friends. from what i heard from alexia and many others was that she was great, she was always there for alexia. I just wanted to say that i am always here for u alexia!! i may not have always been the best friend to you but i want you to know that i love ya and im always here for you! you and your family can be sure of one thing, that Alaina will live forever not only in your minds and hearts but in everyone who Alaina has ever met. The first time i met Alaina when i was at Alexia's house i dont know what it was but i knew i would never forget her. Now that its been almost 5 months i hope Alexia and her family are getting through their tough time. I bet that Alexia's family and everyone else who knows Alexia will agree that a part of Alaina is still with us, in Alexia! So thats all i wanted to say. I love you Alexia.

If you didn't know her i am sorry. To give you a brief summary of her she was the sweetest most caring person. She could be mean at times but you had to look past that and find her if you sat down for 10 seconds with her you would probably think ya she has a life why do ya'll care so much? but if you get to know her and understand listen to that amazing person you would wan to be with her all the time trust me... i know. I wish everyone could of met this beautiful and amazing woman but her life ended a while ago and some people would say so it's not possible. but if you listen, look, and talk to her freinds and family you will feel like you almost knew her. You won'y have a physical relationship with her but i will tell you this she had the strongest presence listen carefully and you'll feel her. - lil sis, Thu, 20 Feb 2003 1:26PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

You full of life, always smiling and carefree, life loved you being a part of it, and I loved you being a part of me. You could make anyone laugh if they were having a bad day, no matter how sad they were, you could take the hurt away. Nothing could ever stop you, or even make you fall, you were ready to take on the world, ready to do it all, but God decided he needed you. So from this world you left, but you took a piece of all of us. Our hearts are what you kept. Your seed is now empty, and it's hard not to see your face, but please always know this, no one will take your place. You left without a warning, not even saying goodbye. And I can't seem to stop, asking the question why. Nothing will ever be the same. The halls are empty without your laughter, but I know you're up in heaven, watching over us, and looking after. Your smile could brighten anyone's day, no matter what they were going through, and I know every day for the rest of my life, I will be missing you. I love you alot. R. I.

My First Christmas In Heaven I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below with tiny light, like Heavens, reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear, For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear. But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas Choir up here. I have no words to tell you, the joy the voices bring, For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart. But I am not so far away, We really aren't apart. So be happy for me, dear ones, You know I hold you dear, And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above. I sent you each a memory of my undying love. After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold. It was always most important in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do. For I can't count the blessings or love he has for each of you. So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear, Remember I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. ** This poem was written by a 13 year old Ben to his mother before he died of a brain tumor. He died in 1997, and that year his spent his first Christmas with Jesus. 2 Timothy 13 I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience.

I never had the chance to meet you, and i totally regret it, everyone I hear says YOU WERE THE GREATEST FREIEND, I wish I could have shared the love with you....I know you had so much going for you and I wish you were here to live your life and find out how it turned out...I promise no one could have guessed you wouldn't be there the next day to smile your beautiful smile, DAMN you were so gorgeous!

Alaina- How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it. -Marcus Aurelius Alaina- You will never know it but I really looked up to you. You had all the friends you could ever dream of, You went really smart, and most of all you were truely a good person. You had so much to live for, and I am sure if you could do it again you would have never chosen this way out. I really wish you were here to tell me some jokes on the bus but it will never happen ever again. My prayers are with you and your family through this devastating time in their lives. I will always be thinking of you. - Ansley Mendenhall, Fri, 20 Dec 2002 2:25PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Out of everything I have heard about Alaina, it has all been consumed as positive. She was obviously a very intellegent girl, who had both mental and physical capabilities, that arose above others. In a way this is a small piece of the puzzle of life, that shows us; how we have to be strong. Life is an obstacle course, and when you break a limb on the jungle gym, you have to keep on swingin'. Be with people who are there for you, obviously like Alaina, and make sure they won't run from you. To get respect from people, its out of character and intuition, not humiliation or fear....Blaize Out - Blaize, Fri, 13 Dec 2002 8:36PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alaina was such a special person. I can't even imagine how any of this ever got started. I didn't know Alaina too well outside of school. We would see eachother at the movies or someplace like that, but we weren't really that close. Inside school was a different story. Every day I would walk into 2nd period, expecting to laugh. Alaina was my cheer on a bad day. She was the smartest person i knew. Her belief in me was amazing. Even though in Spanish class we would joke about how i didn't know much but really i knew that she was the only one who really knew i was smart and i could do it. Alaina helped me out so much, I don't know how I could ever thank her for everything she has ever done for me. Last year, Alaina and I were in the same lunch class so she began to tell me everything. We would talk and laught the whole lunch time, never a boring moment. I remember every single thing that happend that last Friday that I saw and talked to Alaina. I will never let that day fade to me, for it was an incredible day, I just didn't realize it at the time. I know Alaina will always be with me, forever and ever. I know that she is still there, sitting next to me everyday in Spanish, helping me translate, making me laugh, and most of all being my friend. My prayers are with you and your family always Alaina. Rest in Peace, I LOVE YOU!!!! - Kaitlyn, Fri, 13 Dec 2002 7:26PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I am so sorry that it had to be this way. i was friends with Alexia and i knew Alaina was very nice. in the halls of mt. bethel and dickerson i saw her walking with a smile on her face. it seemed like she was a very happy person. although she is not here on earth, her spirit remains. every one remembers her in a different way , her smile , her laugh, her cry, and more . although i didnt know her all that well, i knew she was a great person and a great friend. if we could just have one more minute with her, to tell her how much every one loved her, that would mean so much. some of us took her for granted , and most share wonderful memories with her. we will never forget her, in her heart, soul and spirit. rest in peace Alaina we miss u. << - Lauren Miller, Fri, 13 Dec 2002 7:02PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Dear Ardy and Sharon. A few days ago we got an very sad mail from Grethe, and I don know have to react. We in the family Neergaard in Skanderborg Denmark have been talking so much about you and your familie and about yours and ours big lost. We feel for you. We know sad things in the live are comming to all of us - but I have always said - it must be the most difficult in the world to say goodby - even it is just for a time - to one of our children. Andy and Sharon - it is easy to say as Mark Twain: It is the future you have to look for - it is there you have to spend the rest of your life. I know you will always have Alaina in your mind and heart, but also take care and look for the whole family. We pray for the whole Arani family, and even - Andy - you are a sensitivity man, I also know you are a strong personality. This you need to be know. - Inge and Bent Neergaard, Thu, 12 Dec 2002 12:32PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I met Alaina at a camp in Maine. At first we werent the best of friends. We didnt really think much of each other. Then we became better friends. I wish that she will think of me always as a friend. Alaina was a great person. She had a BEAUTIFUl smile, she was very out going, i thought she was very pretty. She was a great friend. She was the kind of person who would bring a smile to your face, during the times you needed it most. She could make you smile at anytime. She was funny. My memories of her were at Camp Four Winds. The boat ride to Robinhood in the middle of the night. All the noises we made. Also when she would sing and dance. She always tried to make youi happy. She was the best. I hate to lose her. She is Forever in our hearts! (12/11/02) - Ashley Nolan, Wed, 11 Dec 2002 5:33PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Alaina Jesus loved you then and He is with you now. What hopelessness you must have felt. Why couldn't you know how much you were loved? What can we do differently? What can we learn from this? Can your friends grasp how much you were loved by Jesus? John 3:16 says that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life". I know you would want your friends and family to know this. " I pray we all know how deeply you love us Lord. Be with the parents, families and friends in comfort and hope.

It's sad to say that someone has to die for people to realize just how quickly you can lose someone. It's sad to know that girls and boys act rude and mean to each other because of a little jelousy or just for fun. I for one feel horrible about what happened and I wish I could know along with everyone else just what was going through Alaina's mind and the feelings and thoughts she must have had. Different people can blame different reasons why Alaina did this to herself, some might think due to family, friends, school, or even those girls that said those horrible things to her. But I for one can't blame anyone and neither should you. It was Alainas choice and decision(Im not saying it was a good one but hers to make) Maybe God wanted her now then later. No one knows why she is gone. But it is not going to bring her back if people start blaming different people for different reasons. I'm not saying what those girls did was right but I am saying that we should learn to forgive those girls and not be so mean or blame them for what happened. It is a horrible thing to say but thats what girls do is talk bad to other girls because for some reason girls always think there bettr then each other because of age or appearance or social status and just about anything. Its gay I know and now I think a lot of girls and boys have learned a lot from Alaina. I just cant believe something like this has to happen for people to start realizing things and shapping up there attitude. Her family and friends are going a lot right now and the best thing we can do is just keep them in our prayers and be sincere to them. I never offically met Alaina or had a real conversation with her and I never got the chance to get to know the girl that she was, all I ever did was judge her for the rumors and gossip I heard. That was wrong of me I know because I pretended to know who she was before I got the chance. I feel like such a bad person and I hope that she can forgive me. This experience has taught so many people different things. I learned to no judge someone or be mean to someone and never take my friendships for granted and the most important thing I learned is you can never say I love you to much. I love you Alaina even though I didn't know you I love you and a lot of others do too. If only you could see how muched you were loved!! RIP and may you be happy now and content right next to GOD!! - Clara, Mon, 9 Dec 2002 6:10PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

To the Arani Family; we were shocked at the tragic news of Alaina's passing. We remember her so very well as the little girl in her neighborhood who was so full of spunk. She certainly grew into a beautiful young lady. Our hearts go out to all of you as we pray you find the strength to get you through these very tough times ahead. I met and spoke with Iris Bolton of The Link Center at a conference and she is a wonderfully compassionate person. I hope you all will benefit from the help they offer.

my deepest sympathy goes to alainas family and everyone who was close to her. i didnt get the chance to meet her but from what i hear she was truely an awesome person and that makes it even worse. what happened was a tragedy and no one should have to live through that, so what i want to let yall know is that please be careful with what you say to people. who knows exactly what caused her to think she had no one to turn to but whatever it was im sure it could have been prevented if only more people cared.

No one will ever be able to replace my best friend but i know that she will always be with me. I know know that you should spend every waking moment with the ones you love most becasue u never know when they"ll be taken away from you.

Dear Alaina's Family, I did not know Alaina but I have heard such wonderful things about her. I am a mother of a teenager but I can only imagine the pain that you all must be going through. My prayers are with you. I pray that God will give you all the strength to get through this hard time. God bless you and Alaina. - Kathy, Mon, 9 Dec 2002 12:07PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I knew Alaina when she was in elementary school and my son William and Alaina liked each other. My husband and I would often take them places together. She was a beautiful and bright child and always acted so grown up. I had an occasion to see her at church not long ago and I barely recognized her, she had grown up so much. We lost William's dad to cancer 2 years ago, so we know the loss of a loved one. I wish William had stayed in touch with her. I don't know the circumstances of her life now or what would have caused her to do such a thing, but my prayers are with her family. I pray that God will help you through your grief and give you some peace. For everyone out there that new Alaina, please be good to one another. A smile and a kind word to someone is contagious and we can all use kindness. Alaina, I will always think of you as that bright little grown up girl friend of William's. Peace be with you. - Beverly Valle, Mon, 9 Dec 2002 7:41AM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I'm not sure if you remember me, but I am truly sorry about Alaina's passing. When I found out about it at church tonight, I was devastated. When I told my Mom about it, she got really upset.

I didnt knwo alaina at all, but alot of people i know were verrry good friends with her. they were so hurt when they found out about what she did to herself, and i felt horrible about it even though i never knew her. everyone was talking about how beautiful and popular and sweet and wonder ful she was, and i believe it totally. i wish i could have known her. all i know is that alaina is in a place where she wants to be, and that she is happy now. rest in peace. - sad, Sun, 8 Dec 2002 7:03PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I've known Alaina and Alexia sence second grade and Alaina was always so kind to me and she always had a smile n her face.She was so happy and i never would have guesed that she would ever do something like this.She was a great sister and a wonderful friend.At first i deniied that she did what she did.But then the teachers said that it was true and at that moment had a big hole in my heart.I didnt cry i wanted to,but i didnt.I cried when i got hoe,i couldnt help it.And then at the visitation thing i couldnt stop crying.The tears just kept flowing down my cheks.And then at the funeral I tried to remember all the wonderful things that about her.And how she would always be in my heart and many of yours.May Alaina always live in our minds and in our hearts.I just have one question...WHY?????Why did she do it? - Tricia P., Sun, 8 Dec 2002 5:01PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

My deepest sympathy to my cousin Ardy, Sharon and Alexia and Stephanie. I never had the chance to meet Alaina, but, after reading, I now have the previlage to know her as a very special angel who touched everyone's heart. We should all try to cherish her and always remember how she touched everyone's life as a friend, as a mentor, as a loving daughter, as a sister, as a cousin. Alaina, now that you went HOME, LOOK UPON ALL YOUR DEAR ONES AND HELP THEM AND GIVE THEM STRENGTH AND LOVE. YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL AND MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.

Alaina is/was my beloved sister. She could make you laugh when there seemed nothing to laugh about. she could make you smile on the worst of days and make your problems seem invisible. She would just give off that magic laugh charm and smile. She could be mean but in a funny way. She was a girl that no one could NEVER EVER forget. - squid, Sun, 8 Dec 2002 9:38AM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Although me and Alaina were never very close, I remember her smile and laughter in 6th grade. We sat togther in Ms. Gass' 1st period science class.

Alaina- I did not know you and had not really heard of you because you were in 8th and i am in 7th, though when I heard about the terrible tragedy somthing inside of me felt as though i had known you for years. I do know one thing... that you are missed very much because you were a wonderful person. There isn't a day that i think about you and pray for your family and all of your loved ones.

I can share no fond memories of Alain for alas I knew her for only a short time. However she did leave a mark on me for she had an undaunted spirit that left a mark on all that encountered her. Life is full of pain and sometimes we feel we can not escape it. Life is like a dark tunnel with a speck of light at the end of it. We must always focus on the light else we despair and loose ourselves in the darkness. The occurences of joy in life may be few in far between but it is up to us to not despair and keep on living. Alaina's passing brings to mind the words of a sond that goes as such, "Things have never been so swell, I have never felt so well, PAIN!!!" Alaina's life seemed so full and she seemed so full of life. However there was some great pain that washed away all these seeming joys and left her only with despair. My condolences Ararni family. May Alain find comfort and escape from the pain she could not shake in life. May she rest in peace. - Smoky, Sat, 7 Dec 2002 3:16PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
You are our family. There are no words to express the feeling that we have for all of you. There is a deep hole in my heart for this loss. I can only honor Alaina by living my life by taking a stand against what is happening among the young teens today.

Alaina, We will miss you and will NEVER, EVER forget you. - The Rahal Family, Sat, 7 Dec 2002 1:26PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ardy and Sharon, I only met Alaina once but I can now say that after reading all the beautiful words from Alaina's friends and family, I now feel like I knew her. It is obvious that she effected so many people in a positive way and will ALWAYS be remembered fondly by all. As a parent, it pains me so much to see your pain because this could happen to any of us. We all need to be sure to hug our children even when we don't think we've got the time. There can be no greater pain than losing a child but you should feel peace of mind knowing that she was, and will be, a positive influence on so many people for the rest of their lives.

I have known Alaina for a while, Alaina was the person who would be there at our early morning soccer games and have that smile that lit up the entire world around her. She came behind me and would slap me one the head and say "Wake up, we are going to win this thing,"and i soon developed a feeling that she would become one of those forever friends, one you will remember your entire life. And as I looked around the service on thursday, i know that she could see everyone aroud, who felt the same way I did, she could see that so many people cared about her and will continue to care. She has changed my life, made me see that life is a special thing that you can't take for granted. I will continue to love her, and thank her for everything that she has done for me and others, I hope she is happy where she has now gone, for it is a better place.and she will always be there for me, in my heart, and in everyones. - Erika, Sat, 7 Dec 2002 12:04PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
the most amazing person i ever met, alaina made the whole world light up wen she smiled. i didn't become close to her till this yr but she's always made me laugh. i had 3 classes w/ her this yr and i sat by her in every one. in p.e. we were in the same group for the project and she would make everyone crak up and we'd get in trouble but she never would! then in chorus wen we'd sing this certain song we both used to look @ eachother and roll our eyes cuz we hated it so much...soc. st. was another class. it will never be the same...it's 2 quiet now no happiness that she used to bring. i'm so upset i wanna scream but i know that she wants us 2 live and be happy. everyone will always ask y but most will never no. all we do no is that we loved and still love her she was r angel on earth and now she is the newest angel in heaven... - Gillian c., Sat, 7 Dec 2002 11:51AM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I know you did somethings in your life that i probably never will, but you taught us all a lesson and I thank you for that. this has brought us all closer together and now that your gone we live each day of our lives like its the last, as you did. i believe in magic, do you? thats waht you asked me everyday. that was our song, "do you believe in magic, in a young girls heart.." and our magic braclets that I'll wear with pride knowing that your okay now, and in no pain. you were my angle and now your watching over me everyday, guiding me in life. when my time comes, i know you'll be there, welcomming me into heaven.

To Ardy and Sharon: Where and when do you start to move forward? God be with you in the coming days and as the future unfolds. Coach Craig and I had the privilege of coaching her for 8 to 10 seasons. Almost every picture I have of my daughter on a soccer team includes her. I want to thank both of you for the sacrafices you made to continue to bring her to the soccer practices and games, even after you had moved. She touched my heart so much that I nicknamed her "Sunshine". The games and our practices were diminished when she was absent. The practices were probably better organized, because she had the unique ability to disrupt everything. The girls hung around her because she raised everyone's spirit, and she was always the cutup. I will regret with fondness every time I scolded her to quiet down, or asked her if her gas tank was full or half empty. As we know, she could be very good and dominating on the field when she wanted to be. I worried that when she was asked to be the goalie that she would be upset and lose interest. I will never forget how good she was during one of the first games and then she wanted to play goalie. I will cherish all the times she would come up and hug me, and say "You know you love me." And we told her that we loved her. Coach Craig and I picked on her and loved her like she was our daughter. We were only around her for three hours a week during spring and fall, but they were great times. I recall Ardy remarking to Coach Craig, I did not know I would enjoy Saturday Soccer games so much. Neither did we. My memories of my daughter and Alaina/Maggie/Sunshine playing soccer while they were growing up will be there forever. We will never forget her and we WILL keep her memory alive through the soccer team and in our everyday thoughts. To Sunshine: You were a joy. You made all of lives better by your presence. We miss you. We love you. God bless you. - Michael Jordan (Alaina's Soccer Coach), Sat, 7 Dec 2002 6:57AM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
To my dear friend Ardy and Alaina's family and friends who loved her: Words to convey heartfelt sympathy for Alaina's tragic end do not flow easily, although her loss is felt deeply. Perhaps knowing that so many people share your grief will somehow lesson the weight of your own suffering. May you feel God's love surround you. May we all remember that our words and actions affect others and we need to reach out with kindness and compassion. It is difficult to wrap my mind around what happened. Reading what others have written here and looking at the pictures from her life, I cannot grasp how this beautiful and intelligent girl, loved by so many is lost; but, beauty and intelligence are not immune to pain--as we all are not. We need to ask for help when we do not see a way out and know that we do not walk alone. May this difficult lesson teach each of us to give more, love more and take less. You will remain in my daily thoughts and prayers. - darcia mattson, Sat, 7 Dec 2002 2:22AM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
i didnt know alaina, but she seemed like such a great girl from what i have read and heard from people that know her. as i read through what others have written, i have noticed that she was such a great perosn and everyone loved her and she had so many friends that cared for her. i feel deep sorrow for all who was left behind and will pray for you all and the family too! i also read about someone saying that they knew what she felt..i kinda do also, i was going to take my life because i thought i had the worst life of all..i was wrong and i am happy to know that i didnt, i realised that i would have been making a great mistake of taking my life, all the people that would have been devistated that i was gone. but i think it was after reading theses messages from her friends that a person could have such a great impact on everyone and that i would have broken alot of hearts, she was so loved and it breaks my heart to know that such a great girl could go through so much pain once again i feel soo much simpathy to all who knew and loved alaina, god blessR.I.P - lindsey, Fri, 6 Dec 2002 8:32PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I didnt know Alaina really well, but she was in some of my classes in 7th grade. Alaina was one of my smartest and prettiest girls I knew. She always had a smile on her face and she could brighten anyone's day. It is so sad that this tragedy has happened. I have been praying for her and her family everyday. It has only been a week but it seems like forever since the last time I talked to her. I will never forget you! You are in a better place now and I can't wait to see you again! We havent lost a friend, we've gained an angel. Alaina, rest in peace. - Anna Worthington, Fri, 6 Dec 2002 7:50PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I never knew Alaina. I am friends with Emma. The only thing I heard from Emma was good things about Alaina. Your daughter was beutiful. I wish I could have known her.

I didn't know alaina very well but she was a very sweet girl, everyone that i knew liked her very much and said nothing but good things about her. I hope her family goes through this troublesome time with their heads held high even though they have been through a world of pain. I know what it's like to lose someone very close to you, but i didn't get to say goodbye and neither did alaina's family, I'm very sorry that this tragedy happened, but hopefully the wounds will heal at least a little bit. I pray for her and her family to get better even though it is very hard to forget a death.

I never really became friends with Alaina, however, whenever I saw her in the halls, she always had a gorgeous smile on her face! I know that she had a lot of wonderful friends, and from what I heard about her, she was always sweet, caring, and fun to be around! When this all happened on Sunday, although I wasn't friends with her, it touched me as I know it did everyone else who knew her. I just kept asking myself why? That's a question we'll never know the answer too, but we can know that Alaina is in a better place now. She is with God in Heaven, and I believe she is looking down on us all, and seeing how many people truly loved her! Monday at school may have been the hardest and most heartbreaking day I will ever experience. I will always remember the vivid memories of that day that are held in my memory. Seeing all the people who loved her crying put an ache in my heart that may never fully heal. I think on Monday I hugged more people than I ever have in one day. I told so many people how much they meant to me that day, because I realized that you cannot take your friendships for granted. You should treat each day as if it were your last!Each night I have prayed for the Arani family and all of Alaina's friends. I prayed that God help us get through this, and to focus on the good times we had with her! "When someone you love passes, the memory of them becomes a treasure." I will always remember Alaina. It will be hard for many (including me) to get through these next few weeks, or even months. But remember, the Lord will help get us through this tragedy. Alaina, although she's not here physically, is here in spirit. She is an angel. She will always have a place in my heart. Alaina, we will truly miss you! Rest in peace sweetie! - Tori, Fri, 6 Dec 2002 2:43PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alaina was one of my good friends. She was a great person and everyone loved her. She had a wonderful personallity and a beautiful smile that made everyone love her. I am a year older than her and I go to Walton, that tragic monday was one of the worst days ever! people that didnt even know her were crying about the horrible thing. When they would see pictures on the sheet brought from the funeral they would just take one look at her and cry so hard. She was so great she cared about everyone so much...im just so sorry that she didnt care about herself as much as she cared about others. Everyday almost she would call me and have long conversations about her day and that one sunday she didnt call so i thought she was just busy or something then i heard about it on monday and i just burst into tears. Now i dont have anyone to have 2 am talks with..there will always be that empty spot in my heart that hurts so much...i wont get to see her beautiful smile anymore when i see her in the halls as she would run up to me and give me a big hug. I still remember every secret that she has ever told me. I love you alaina! and i miss you so much! i wish i could have just said one last thing to you and made you not do that awful thing! Ur still my lil sis and i will never forget you!!!!! - i miss you, Fri, 6 Dec 2002 2:40PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I didnt know Aliana..infact I never met her, but as I hear the news it was like I saw my life flash before my eyes, it was like I was soon thankful for my life, and that no matter if I had problems in life that nothing mattered anymore. I can't say how close me and Alaina were because we never met, but judging from how much love she brougt to these people its obvious to say how much of a wonderful person she was. When you think bout suicide you dont think its real, and that it cant happen to somebody you love,but now you know it really can. To Alaina's family I give you my blessing forever, you have to be strong and ony remember al the good times you shared with your daughter. Alaina's family; hold on tight to what you have..because you have just lost an angel, but she will always be watching down on you. I know you must have loved her a lot,her love is like the wind, you cant see it, but you'll be able to feel it..Rest asurred in God's arms. - Dee, Fri, 6 Dec 2002 1:55PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

When Mother started Four Winds back in 1946, she never realized the number of "daughters" she would have the pleasure of knowing over the years. Mother is now 92 and while she may not have known Alaina, Alaina was one of her daughters, nevertheless. Our hearts ache to learn of your loss. When my older sister (Mother's first daughter) passed away a few years, a friend sent us a card that was enormously comforting to us and we hope it will be for you as well. Based on an Indian saying, it read, "Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather small openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones shines upon us to let us know they are happy." To Alaina's family and friends, we wish for you whatever brings peace to your heart. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I did not know Alaina, nor do you know me. I live in Littleton, Colorado and am a father to a precious little girl who is only 2 months younger than your Alaina. We found out of your tragedy through a friend of our's, whose daughter is in Alaina's school. I cannot even imagine the amount of pain that you are experiencing right now, but I just wanted to let you know that you are not walking alone. As I browse through the photo gallery, the tears pour down my face. I must tell you that even though I didn't know Alaina, her outer and inner beauty is captured in every picture that I observe. Her smile could brighten a dreary winter day. Her eyes radiate her loving, gentle spirit within. She and my daughter could have been sisters, as far as resemblance goes. The bible tells us to "grieve with those that grieve", and for whatever it's worth, please know that I am grieving with you. But grieving brings healing, and healing brings hope, and hope restores your soul. My prayer for you is that during this trial of your life, (just as in the poem "Footprints"),that the Spirit of our Lord Jesus will gently carry you until the day when you are able to walk again on your own. My sincerest regrets for your loss. - A Girl's Daddy, Thu, 5 Dec 2002 10:25PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Alaina and I were good friends in 6th grade. But then, sadly, we drifted apart. I knew the 6th grade Alaina but I didn't know the 7th and 8th grade Alaina and I wish I could have. This has taught me a valuable lesson, though. For every single friendship you make, make the most out of it, don't ever take it for granted, and most of all don't you ever, EVER drift apart. I wish we had never drifted apart because now it's too late to renew our frienship. I always looked up to her for having such a high self-esteem, her positive attitude towards life, and her being able to laugh things off so well. She was very outgoing and nice towards everyone. She always made people feel better with a joke. I love you Alaina and I pray for your family. I will always remeber ur bright smile and the way u could light a room with ur laugh. - Lucy Dorris, Thu, 5 Dec 2002 7:20PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I never really got the chance to get to know Alaina and I'm very sad about that. I wish I did because from what I heard, she was an incredible friend to everyone. Whenever I saw her, whether it was in the halls or in chorus, she was always smiling that beautiful smile of hers. She was always surrounded by friends who adored her. Last year, I was in Alaina's social studies, Spanish, and chorus classes, and she was always gleaming her kindess. She always seemed to put a smile on everybody's faces. I will really miss that.

Alaina was a beautiful girl who could always make you smile and laugh!!! When i was new to Dickerson she would always talk to me in math and spainsh. and our friendship grew from there. In spanish we got away with not paying attention and we would sit back there and talk and stuff. i missed that alot this year and now i will never be able to do that with her again! you got the felling from her the moment you met her that you would become friends. even though i was friends with her i was never really her good friend but she still made an effort to say hello in PE and talk to you. just after 5 minutes of talking to her you felt like you knew her forever and would always be friends even if you havent talked in ages. she had a wonderful presence and for people who never got to meet or talk to her have missed out on a truely awsome person! we miss you girl and i hope your in a better place i am praying for you and your family. for her friends stay stong and remeber the great times RIP i know your watching and keeping us with you we love you kalie - kalie, Thu, 5 Dec 2002 6:15PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I knew alaina through some of my best friends. We soon became to know eachother and were kind of friends. she was a very sweet person and i cannot believe she is actually gone.She was so nice that whenever we saw eachother she would always say hey! it is so sad that she thought the only way to get out of her problems was killing herself. If she knew how much pain we would all be in she wouldn't have done it. She is an angel in the sky watching down on us each and every day. we will all miss her terrible. It is so sad that her life had to come to a tragic end so soon. When i think of her family's loss, i think how much pain they are feeling inside and my prayers go out to them.

I didn't know Alaina at all, but I had seen her in the halls. She was always smiling and looking happy. Sometimes I wondered what could make a person smile that much, and I still haven't figured it out. She was beautiful and happy, and thats more than a lot can say about themselves. Lookin at the comments and her pictures brought me to tears to think of the great loss that all of Dickerson suffered. It's so sad her beautiful life had to come to such a tragic end, but she will always be our hearts, those who knew her, and those who didn't. I wish she was at school on Monday just to see the horrible impact her death had on the school, it was a day no one will forget. When I think of her family's loss, I get so scared to think of what it would feel like for me to lose someone so wonderful. My prayers go out to her family, friends, and herself.

For the short time that I have known about this, I have not been able to get it off of my mind. Alaina and I were best friends in 2nd and 3rd garde. I have so many memories with her from that time: climbing in through the window when we got locked out of her Mom's house, signing the wall she had at her Dad's house, playing on the playset and trampoline in her yard, playing kidnapped in her closet... the list could go on and on. When she moved away later, we saw each other only once in a while. Soon after, we lost touch completely and I will always regret letting her go that easily. I will never forget her loving smile and personality that she shared with everyone. I know she made a difference my life as well as many others. Alaina Arani...

Alaina's beautiful face and warming smile was just a threat to older girls. she really did seem like a sweetie although my peers didn't not understand they were just jelious. people are so mean and we will never completely know why. i never talked or did meet alaina although the guys in my grade talk highly of her. i wish i did get to know her and all the things that were bothering her because i have been in some situations also and would have loved to help. Alaina im praying for you along with all of these people here who loved you and will keep on loving you.

Alaina, or Maggie is what she wanted us to call her, was an amazing person I know everyone will really miss. I played soccer with her for about 4 years and she was always so happy and ready to go play a game. She came to practice always smiling and joking around. She was so sweet and made everyone on the team happy. Even if she was having a bad day she would come and want to go out and win a game. She always played her hardest and could kick with so much might!!! Everyone on the team loved her soo much and was upset when she couldnt come to a game. At the parent kid game we had, Maggie and I just sat in the feild then toke off our shoes and ran around yelling. She was so much fun to be around and made my life so much better! It is awful that she is gone and cant make our days better but she will always be with us! Our nickname for her was sunshine, and that name fite her perfectly! shinning as bright as she could even in the darkest days! We will all miss the angel that has left us but will NEVER forget her! Much love to the family!! We are all here for you! - Nicole D., Thu, 5 Dec 2002 4:37PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
To Alaina's family. We cannot begin to imagine the hurt at losing a love one whose life was just beginning. Our prayers go out to her family and friends who have lost a precious daughter, sister, relative, or friend. There is so much hope and promise in the lives of young people that our deepest feelings are oftentimes expressed with their passing than in their growing. However, now is a time of reflection of how we treat each other in life and of how very precious life is. We pray that God watches over each of Alaina's family members and friends in this time of grief and that each of your thoughts are led to the joy that was experienced with her time with you. Like each of Alaina's family and friends, our son was blessed to be touched by her warmth and kindness. We, too, are touched by the beauty of her smile and the spirit radiating from her pictures. May God bless and strengthen you in your time of need and may He extend a special place for Alaina amongst His angels as her light continues to shine upon all who knew her. - The Wynn Family, Thu, 5 Dec 2002 4:37PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Alaina took stoll so many hearts with her smile and her cheerful spirit! I never saw her frowning or not laughing with her friends. She had a way of touching people and making such an impact on everyone, but now she is in heaven were she belongs and is with God. Alexia carries so much of Alaina in everything she does. Even though Alaina has past away she is still very much with us in Alexia. Alaina was a wonderful sister, an amazing friend, and a great person. We miss u Alaina and pray for ur family!

I never got to know Alaina. And i regret that i never got a chance to talk to her. Alaina was gorgeous and was blessed with so many friends. She was in my homeroom and every time i saw her she was always laughing and smiling with her amazing smile. In all of the pictures listed below, there is not one where she is not happy. She looked so fun to hang out with. She looked like she had the perfect life. Like the minister said"People wear masks and people pretend." i wish that we could have saved her, but at least now she knows how many people care about her, and how many people love her. People like Alaina are rare, and those that got to be close friends with her are lucky, i just wish that i could have. But now she is in God's hands, and right now I can just see her up in heaven with her wings looking down at us. Alaina we love you, and you will never be forgotten - Mary Smither, Thu, 5 Dec 2002 4:05PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alaina was the person I could alwayz talk to we became friends at the beginning of the year. I remember the first time I met her when it was in the girls bathroom and we would check ourselves in the mirror and would always laugh about it. Even though she is gone she will alwayz be in my heart forever. Alaina had a great personality and would always make someone smile if they felt down or needed someone to talk to. I would always tell her my secrets and she would try to fix them for me if something was wrong. Alaina was sooo sweet and would never be mad at anything that's what I loved about her. I would treasure those memories forever. We all miss you Alaina!! and We love you! Rest in Peace.. - Trinh N., Thu, 5 Dec 2002 3:57PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I didnt know Alaina that much but what I hear from her friends and family she was a nice and funny girl. To the Aranis Im terribly sorry about what happened. But now she is in Gods hands. To her friends Im so sorry Im sure she will always remember you and in your hearts you will always remember her laughing and smiling down the halls of school and at home. Alexia, I'm sorry that this had to happen but now she is watching over you and and watching all of her friends and family crying and weeping over her death and wishing she could come back. R.I.P. ALAINA!! - 6-A Kid, Thu, 5 Dec 2002 3:53PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alaina was my guardian angel and she didn't leave me to do anything but to go get her wings. I'm happy she went to go get her wings because she deserves them for all the great things she did and could've done. I'm happy Alaina and I were close friends, she was like a sister to me. She was the one that made sure I hd all my school work togather and she was the one that made sure I was taking care of myself by going to the doctor. I miss her and I'm positive many other people miss her and loved her. Alaina I love you and I'm praying for your family. R.I.P BABY GIRL!! Take care of yourself baby girl!

Alaina was one of the most amazing people i have ever met. We have not known eachother for all that long but in our short time together we shared so many great memories. She had an extraordinary personality, she was one of the funniest people i have ever met. Even when I was feeling down, she would turn my day around. Losing Alaina is much like losing a family member, and already i miss her very much... Alaina, you will remain in our hearts forever, I love you, We all love you.

I didn't know Alaina very well but what i do know is that she always tried to make everybody else's day a little happier by a quick hug in the hall, talking to them, making them laugh, or by just simply smiling. i honestly think that if Alaina could of just seen how dickerson was on monday she would of thought twice about what happened. i have to say that monday was the saddest day of school ever. everyone was crying her friends, people she'd met briefly, or even people who didn't know her. if she could of only seen the love everyone had for her i don't think this would of ever happened. I'll never forget that scene on mon. it'll stick in my mind forever. Alaina will be missed so much. but we do know she's in a better place and will never be in pain again. my best wishes and love to Alaina and her famlily in this difficult time. Alaina was loved and will never be forgotten. - Anonymous, Thu, 5 Dec 2002 3:26PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Even though Alaina and I didnt get to know eachother very well, she was one of the funniest and nicest people i knew of. In chorus, she would always make everyone laugh and smile....she would make random comments about the songs we were singing in chorus. whenever i saw her in the bathrooms, we would laugh about how we always ran into eachother in there. you would never think that anything was hurting that girl inside. at least we know that shes in a better place and nothing can hurt her now. my prayers go out to her and her family.....god bless alaina, u will always be in our hearts. **RIP** - Shabnam, Thu, 5 Dec 2002 3:08PM | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It makes you think that maybe we shouldn't take people for granted b/c you never know... Lots of love to all her family. We will miss all your smiles and your laugh, and we will never forget you.

Through the years, through the tears, we will always remember you! We remember the day we first talked to Alaina. We didn't even know each other but the way she talked and smiled at us made us realize Alaina would be a true friend forever. From then on, we knew she would always be there for us. She had a great personallity and always could cheer anyone up. Alaina became one of Danielle's best friends and one of Sarah Beth's good friends. We are now in such shock that we can't even believe it. One of our freinds has killed herself. I hope everyone will use this as a lesson. Every problem has a solution and if only Alaina had thought of that, she would still be here today. Let your friends know that you love them because if one day they aren't here, you'll wish you would have said it. We love you Alaina, rest in peace.
