I never met Alyse but her husband's mother, Muriel, whom I called "Aunt Muriel" was my family's neighbor.  Many happy times!  So very sorry to learn of Alyse's death.  I hope Thomas will be fine.

Mom,
I have thought about you every day. Your face appears in my mind and I hear your voice. I am trying to be strong because you made me that way but I miss you so much that it makes it hard to breath. I’m going on a trip today with my family. It’s the cruise to Bermuda that you knew I had planned and that you also took with Dad. I will think of you when I look out at the blue ocean, see the stars at night and hear the waves on the beach. I will always remember you saying “have fun with your family” and so I will try to honor that wisdom.
Love Always,
Tamsen

With sadness I send my sincere condolence for the passing of your sister/mother/wife Alyse.  Her tribute slideshow showed the beautiful woman she was and the love surrounding her.  I am so sorry for her sudden passing.  With Love and Prayer, 
Kathy Meehan 

Alyse was a kind and caring person and we know she will be terribly missed.  We will be praying for you all and hope that your  grief will lesson over time.   All our Love the Langlois Family. 

Dear Alyse, 
I thought of you today, 
but that is nothing new.  
I thought about you yesterday
 and days before that to.
I think of you in silence,
 I often speak your name. 
All I have are memories 
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake
 from which I'll never part. 
God has you in His arms, 
I have you in my heart. 
Your Loving Sister Marie 

Great sister, always there when I needed her.  The best gravy master every.  She will be missed dearly. 
Your loving brother,
 Al 


My Beloved mother,

You are and will always be the foundation of my strength and humility. 

My Beloved mother,

You are and will always be the foundation of all things that are good in my life and the life of our family.  You were selfless in your devotion to both of your children, and in caring for your grandchildren. Loving even when tired, without limits. Mom,  a few years ago when I asked you if I could move home you put aside your own interests to make it possible for us. You gave me the biggest gift of my life; time with my children. You treasured every moment with them and them with you.  I never saw you loose your temper. You were always understanding and patient with all of us. Last year you reassured me that you were proud I made the decision to do what was right for my family.  Mom-I will continue to have fun with my family and try to make you proud.  I will always miss you. We will be strong for you although we are heartbroken. 

Alyse will always remain in my memory and heart as an amazing woman who was strong yet calm, loving yet firm, smart yet not condescending, and had endless energy for her family for who she genuinely loved and deeply cared for.  Alyse transcended to more than just a wife, Mom, and Mother-in-law.  To her grandchildren, she was revered as Oma.  To all 4 legged fury creatures, she was known as the Dog Whisperer.  And in the kitchen, the Gravy Master.  I will cherish the fond times we had together, and I can smile knowing her spirit is still with us today, and will continue to bless us with positive energy and careful watchful eye.

Alyse was a wonderful, loving sister and I will miss you every day of my life. We had many great times shopping, kayaking, making holiday meals and cookie bake offs.  We would laugh our self’s silly at the smallest things.  Life will not be the same without you, but I know you will be with me in spirit. Although we are apart you will live forever in my heart. 
Your loving sister,
 Marie 


As sisters we had many fun times growing up in a busy fun loving and happy family. We shared many wonderful memories and stories. You were a devoted sister and once told me you would always “go to bat” for any of us. You had the most beautiful smile. I will miss your smile, quick wit, and loving nature and your ability to bring joy to all those around you. I love you and will miss you dearly.
Your loving sister,
 Lois


Mom,
Once I was talking to you about a difficult time in my motherhood and told you I couldn't wait for this particular time to be over. You said "Oh Tamsen, don't wish your life away..."  I will never ever forget that advice. 
I watched you sit quietly and look at baby doves with their mother. I watched you carefully hold weeds given to you by my daughters as if they were the finest roses. I watched you protect caterpillars so they could turn into butterflies. I watched you patiently sound out words in a children's book with your grandchild at bedtime. I watched you listen to the woes of strangers with genuine care. I watched you take time and care to cook food with love for any recipient.  I watched you soak in the morning sunshine. And I heard you when you spoke about the importance of humility, integrity, strength, and the joys of simplicity. 
Mom, I have been seeing and listening and learning from you and I won't wish away a single moment of my life because you taught me how precious it is. I will honor you by finding joy in the small wonders of life, in the beauty of unnoticed things and the world around us and the importance of being kind and just. 
I will make you proud.  
Love Always, Tamsen

Oma,

My favorite memories will always be going to the beach with you, the shore, baking, all the hugs you gave me, talks and love. I miss you and I am happy for all the memories we had. I will have fun with my family Oma. I will never forget you and I hope you have fun in heaven. I love you. 

Aunt Alyse, you were stunning in your wit and charm and strength. I have always been in awe of how confident and sassy you were!! My memories of you and Uncle Thom and Tamsen and Loren are full of laughter, great (loud) conversations, lots of energy, food, books and love. Lots of unconditional love that will last forever.  What an amazing life you build and legacy you leave. Love you all. 

Although I'd only known Alyse for a few years she always had a kind word with  a smile that warmed your heart. Condolences to the Adam's family.  Rest in peace my neighbor and friend.

Alyse was a great jovial person who loved life and her husband Thom and kids Loren and Tamsen.     She was also very close to her siblings and very thoughtful.   My prayers are with Thom and his children and Lois, Marie, and Al

Alyse, you have been the center of my world for 50 yrs. I knew I would love you from the start to the end but never thought of the end, for I felt it would never end, such was my heart for you. In your final days, I hope you heard me tell you how there was never a day that I didn’t love you, and there will never be a day without my loving you still.  We created wonderful world with children and grandchildren and they are our legacy, God was good to us that way.  Life will be empty without your being in the room but you will always be in our hearts and I’ll be with you one day and we will be happy again forever.  Still in love, Thom

Aunt Alyse always had a warm welcoming smile and an easy going calm manner. I have many fond memories of visiting her home in Park Ridge playing on swings, looking for eggs in the chicken coop, going to the pool, and playing in the house and yard.  She will be happily remembered by many as easy to talk to and fun to be around. 

Alyse was my first cousin on my mother’s side of the family. She was more than just a relative. She was a loyal friend, a god-parent to my daughter, a compassionate, humble human being who listened and dispensed advice without judgement, an astute, business person who enjoyed the finer things in life. Most importantly, however, she was always a giver; never a taker. 

Once, I ran into someone who knew her because we lived close. She said Alyse was so bright that she “could have been running Volvo.” She also said something more indicative of her true nature. Alyse, she said, was a great judge of character because she was, herself of impeccable character.  She was right on target. 

My family will remember, Alyse, as a kind, compassionate and soft spoken woman.  We'll miss her greatly at family gatherings. May her memory be a blessing to those who knew her.
