Alyx was a person that always tried her best no matter what. She was always full of happiness, and that happiness was infectious. She would always help with anything I needed help with in school, no questions ask. Whether it was math, science, history or art. I remember her helping me with an art assignment like it was yesterday. She was always happy to help me with anything, those were the most fun assignments and projects I ever had, all due to her and Cody. I wish I could go back and ask for help for things I didn't even need help with.. I am beyond lucky to have alyx as a sister and to have had her in my life.

Alyx was one of the sweetest, happiest people I had ever met. She always gave the best hugs. In college she would pull her upper body back, scrunch up her nose, throw her arms out and wiggle her fingers in a way thT said “Come here, you, and let me hug you or I’ll hunt you down and smother you with my bosoms!” Alyx was a dear friend of mine in college (we went to Viterbo together), and I was so sad when she went back to Chicago. I bought my first car from her and we stayed in touch for years. I even went to see her in Portland in 2009 when I had hitchhiked out there to see my boyfriend and found out she was nearby. But that’s the last time I saw her, 11 years ago. I followed her cake baking and decorating expedition for a time as well. She brightened the world so well with her big personality. I’m so sorry she left this world so early. I am wishing you all the best holiday you can muster under such dire circumstances. Thinking of you all.

I knew Alyx through Cody, and it's always been clear just how in love they are. I stayed with them for three weeks for a visit a few years back, and the time I spent with my old friend and getting to know Alyx better is one of my fondest memories. It was a fantastic time, and Alyx was a big part of that.

She was always a beacon of joy, always the center of the energy in the room, and a constant delight to be around. I can't imagine how this loss must be affecting the people closest to her, and my heart goes out to all of them.

Alyx was one of my favorite people on the planet, and it still hasn’t sunk in that I’ll never get to see or talk to her again. 

I’ll never forget her smile, her laugh, and the many inside jokes we had. She brought so much joy to my life over the years. Some of the most fun I’ve ever had in my life was when we were together. I’m thankful that I have so many great memories, my life was better because she was in it. 

Alyx, I’ll love and miss you forever. You were an excellent friend that became part of the family and no one could ever replace you. 

Even though we weren't officially sisters yet, Alyx was and always will be a big sister to me. She was the most kind, caring, and loving person that I have ever met. She'd bring joy and happiness wherever she went. Even if she was in a bad mood, you would never be able to guess it because she just always had a smile on her face. Alyx is the kind of person that we should all strive to be like, someone who will always put you in a happy mood and would care more about a stranger than herself. She was one of a kind. I will forever miss her smile and laugh and just her presence. I'll miss talking with her about baking and cooking, and her never ending knowledge of board games. I'll miss seeing her cute jokes with Cody, and seeing how amazing she was with Issy and Will, and her big sisterly love for Jaden and Alex. She was literally the best sister that anyone could ever wish for. She knew she was loved by so so many, especially Cody. Their love for each other was one that you don't often see, unconditional. You don't even have to know the two of them to be able to see how strong their love for each other is. I am very thankful for all of the memories that I have with Alyx. From game nights, girls days, playing pokemon go around town, family gatherings and parties, to Alyx and Cody's beautiful wedding, to the Orlando trip, to our San Francisco trip, and I could literally go on and on forever with the amazing times that we all got to spend together. I am so thankful for being able to have these memories with Alyx. She was for sure, one of a kind. We love you and miss you, and even though you will not be there to see Alex and I get married, you are still my bridesmaid and forever my sister, and I know that you'll be there in all of our hearts. You will always be in our hearts. Love you Alyx.

When reading this her smile is the first thing about her that I remember. She had such a kind spirit and I believe after playing games with her  and her beating me terribly that she played down how smart and funny she was. One other thing that I remember so fondly was how much she loved and was loved by those around her. 
She will be missed terribly. RIP Alyx 

I did not have as much of a chance to know Alyx as I would have liked because of the distance.  The first time I met her though, I remember thinking "this is someone I want to get to know!"

Her attitude, her playfulness, and her friendly and welcoming demeanor made me feel like I had known her for years after only a few hours.

Though my relationship with Alyx was one of waiting for the right time to deepen it more than shared experiences, I regret waiting for the right moment instead of putting in the effort when I had the opportunity.  

Condolences and love to her surviving family and friends.  Alyx was taken entirely too early and I can't imagine the feeling of loss for those close to her.

Unfortunately I did not get to know Alyx as much since I live far away but I loved her because she made my son happier than I have ever seen him. Was by his side every step of the way, thick and thin. They had the kind of love we are all searching for. Thank you Alyx. Your time on this earth was way too short but you made it a better place in the time you were here. 

Love, Mike

I met Alyx just shy of ten years ago, at our community college. Her hair was dyed blonde before we met but had since grown out. I remember noticing her- that cute girl in the class with half blonde, half dark brown hair- almost black. In an ice breaker activity, we somehow accidentally drew each other’s names – looking back, I think that was fate. We worked together on a project during the semester, and from strangers we became friends, and from friends to partners. I remember our first date – she couldn’t believe I had never had Giordano’s despite living near Chicago my whole life. To remedy this, she took me to Giordano’s in Sycamore just to discover there was no dining area! So, we went to Hopkin’s Park and ate our pizzas outside. It was a bit of a disaster, but I enjoyed every second of it. I think she did, too. Four years later, I shipped Giordano’s from Illinois down to Georgia and asked her to go on a picnic with me on our anniversary. I placed our pizza in a box, and inside the box I had it decorated: “Alyx – Will you marry me?” I had her open the box, and as she opened it I scrambled to get down on my knee for the proposal. Alyx, of course, began crying – tears of joy! A year later, we married each other in my Gramma’s back yard. She walked down the aisle to an acoustic rendition of Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles. That was the perfect song for her, because Alyx is my sunshine. Nine and a half years was not enough time, and I know she’d agree with me. Alyx- I love you and I like you, and I will miss you forever. Rest in peace, my beautiful love. I’ll be with you again someday.

I met Alyx many, many moons ago at Fright Fest. Her smile and joy was infectious and would light up everyone who came near her. She will be missed more than she could have ever known. Xo

Alyx was a rainbow of light in a sometimes dark place. You could always count on her to bring joy wherever she was and smiles all around. Ever since she entered our lives we all greatly benefited from her presence. I will greatly miss her and aspire to put the kind of positivity she had into my life. I will miss you big sis. 

Love, Alex

I will forever remember  Alyx as I would see her whenever  we  would  see each other.  A smile smile on her face, and joy in her voice. Gone too soon. 

Alyx you have been a loving, caring, considerate addition to our family. I will miss you and carry you in my heart. 

Love, Gramma

I didn't know Alyx well as I live so far away. But the little I did know her she struck me as a positive upbeat person. 
I had been admiring her knitting on visit and she encouraged me to try and learn it. I never did get the hang of it but I will never forget her kindness and encouragement.
Love you. Aunt Debbie

Sweet, beautiful Alyx, over the years you have been such a gift to our family.  The love and support you provided Cody will never be forgotten.  Every moment with you will be cherished as we carry you in our hearts forever.  Love Mom
