Katharine, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. My heart goes out to you and your family.
My heart is breaking for the entire family, I am so sorry for your loss. Alyssa was the sweetest, kindness and a loving young lady. I have so many wonderful memories of coaching her for the Rockettes. I loved how she would roll her eyes when Brianna or Kirsten would say something that she felt was inappropriate or just silly. Then we would laugh and move on. She grew into a beautiful young lady. Sending all my Love, Hugs and sympathy at this difficult time. Alyssa will always hold a special place in my heart.
