Thank you for all your support on the last post, it really means a lot.

Services were held in Ohio on Tuesday & Wednesday then she was flown into Houston and driven to our hometown in Louisiana.
Last Friday was a private showing for the family, then the funeral home was opened to public. Even though Aly was swollen from steroids she had to take for surgery, she still looked beautiful and I am glad I was able to see her to say goodbye. Friday night was also a vigil and rosary. The funeral and burial were held Saturday.

At the vigil a letter written by Brady Quinn was read. Brady met Aly through the Granted Wish foundation.



Brady Quinn then went to visit Aly a few more times in the hospital. His letter stated that he was going through a tough time and prayed for an angel then God sent him Aly and he realized it was his wish that had been granted. He promised Aly when she was well that he would take her to Cleveland stadium and throw the football with her, he said when they meet in Heaven he will fulfill that promise to her. Brady also said he loved her in the letter.

I know Aly would have just been tickled by that letter, she loved Brady ever since he was the quarter back for Notre Dame, her dad's & brother's favorite teams, then followed him when he was drafted by the NFL for the Cleveland Browns.

He was so good to her, he was previously on CNN with her as he is the spokesperson for Granted Wish and wanted to use Aly as his main story.

He gave her this jersey she loved to wear:




Aly touched so many people the funeral home in Ohio, where the first service was held said they had never seen a service of that size. At the service in Louisiana a song was performed that was written about her.

She was a very special girl and will be greatly missed.

When I saw my family for the first time at the funeral home, my aunt who is Aly's grandma the first thing she said to me was Oh Erin, Aly used to always talk about you. So I know she is in Heaven watching over me.
