Tributes
"My favorite Cousin Felicia. As a child, I remember her always at Easter. Felicia would bring the best chocolate bunny rabbits from Truman's Chocolates. Felicia and Jan always remembered her Uncle Alex's family at Christmas and send all of us Christmas cards. She came to all of our family celebrations. My parents Alexander and Anne loved her very much as a matter of fact Felicia was 5 when she was flower girl at their wedding in 1947. I know she is loved by all of us and will be greatly missed. I will always remember her. "

"I will always remember Felicia as a happy, caring person. When I was a child and Felicia would come over with her mom, Eva and her sisters, she loved when my dad, Alex, would kid around with her. I remember Felicia and Jans wedding. They were so much in love. Felicia was a fighter til the end. Now she's with God in heaven with her parents, sister and grandparents and Uncle Al and Aunt Anne. I will miss you, cousin."
