She was born in Riverside at Riverside Community Hospital. I drove home early that morning to Elsinore using HWY 74 between Perris and Elsinore.
About half way home I was thinking about names. I liked Melissa but Lynette didn’t. I was working at Murrieta Hot Springs at the time and we were planting a beautiful little flowering plant at various locations around the resort. That plant was Alyssum also known as Sweet Alyssum. I took Melissa and Alyssum and added them together and came up with Alyssa. As it turned out she was Sweet Alyssa.
Alyssa was a very sweet little girl and always watching out for her little sister Tavia. Violet is Alyssa all over again. I clearly see that same sweet little girl in Violet. I thank God for this wonderful family! Happy Birthday Alyssa! I love you very much.
Oh Bob, that's a great story. Alyssa, was so special. I felt like she belonged to me. I remember taking her into that little yellow bedroom on McPherson when she was just born. I rocked her and carried her around, picked her up and put her down. I was only like 5 or 6. I can't believe Linnette left me alone like that with her. It was so fun. And I only dropped her twice.
Slow but sure,and not even sure anymore.anyhow Alyssa,just wanna say I love you sooooooooooo much and your Dad has me intears after reading what he wrote. What a Dad!! We are all so blessed in this family! Hope you had a great Day! Grandma
Yes, Bob, that was a moving piece you wrote about your daughter. If I was her I'd print it up fancy in big letters, frame it and hang it in a special spot on my wall.
