Warmth


"Ali was one of the few people who at any given moment would drop anything if you needed a friend."
-Stacia Buda

"Ali and I never really new each other in high school, but I graduated with Phil and this semester last year we were in a marketing class together and were paired up for a project. Although I could not possibly feel the pain of that of her family and friends, please know that she was nothing less than an amazing person with such a great outlook on life. I only wish for two things.... That Alis friends and family will someday be able to find some sort of peace and that she will never be forgotten. I only knew her personally for a couple months, but that was enough to know that she is one in a million and also an amazing soul. May she find peace wherever she is and may this world never forget her. All my prayers and love to her family and friends. Love Ryane Kelly; also a graduate from Blue Valley North and a junior at K-State."

"Think of blinding light, shining brilliantly in the sky. Now put that same brilliance in a person. Thats Ali."

Never Knowing
by SH

Though I never knew you
Your story made life so clear
It made me think of how life’s so fragile
That losing someone is never fair

Our community became so close
After hearing about this awful event
Even though a perfect life was taken
So few knew what this meant

It meant that a human
Could take another’s life
And not feel an ounce of guilt
Upon leaving others with pain and strife

How could someone be so cruel?
How could somebody be filled with such hate?
May God have mercy on the person who took your life
For in taking you from your loved ones, that person has chosen his own fate

You were loved and you always will be
So many people cried for you
I know that you will be missed
By everyone you ever knew

for you, Ali
