She was a pretty damn good Writer.

I think she would appreciate hearing that.

Thanks for sharing your life with us Alicia.
 
Aw, son of a *****. The cancer got her. But not without one hell of a fight. RIP, Alicia.
 
In her last days, she listened to friends read aloud from her favorite book, "To Kill a Mockingbird." She died 20 minutes after her high school English teacher finished the last chapter.

She did everyone a tremendous service by writing about her ordeal. Cancer didn't beat Alicia Parlette. She just ran out of time. RIP.
 
This is pretty powerful:

... if I go through this life-changing ordeal and my body just wears out and I die, I will die a writer. The one thing I've always wanted to be.

She had a hell of a voice as a writer. I'll never forget it.

Awesome, Baron.
 
When my aunt was dying from breast cancer, I sent her links to the Parlette series, which she thought were tremendous. She read all of them.

I stopped reading them because they ****ed me up royally. Amazing writer... RIP...

Thoroughly heartbreaking. I'm not sure I have the strength to read the series.
