Cheerleader For God Angel Picture Back to Angel Pictures
Alicia Nicole Rix died tragically in an accident. Her mom sent this angel picture of her and story:
"Standing at my desk at work, I picked up a call from my husband. He told me about a call he just got from
Heather, Alicia's best friend. Heather's brother had received a call from Duncan the girls Cheerleading Coach.
Duncan said Alicia has been in a bad accident. I hung up the phone with Rick after telling him to call and find
out what's going on and I'll try to call Alicia. I left several messages on Alicia's phone, unable to speak to her.
I will never forget that day and that feeling when I heard she was gone.
Alicia Nicole Rix, my only little girl was 16 yrs old, would have turned 17 the first of this month. She was going
fishing with two other cheerleaders and they were hit by a semi-truck, there was no alcohol involved just 3
fishing poles. They say she didn't suffer but she got most of the blow and the tire. I can't help but wonder if
she called for me to help her and I didn't hear her.
Tomorrow September 18, 2004 will be 6 months since my heart was ripped out. Which is exactly the words I
used to express the depth of my pain to my mother in the wee hours of the morning some odd days after
Alicia's accident. It is strange how time has no relevance during these past few months. It has actually been
months?
Alicia made and maintained so many friends during her time here with us. There were nearly 1,100 people at
her funeral. That's more people than I've ever said hello to, much less kept as friends in my nearly 40 years.
As mothers do, I always said she was special but I had no idea so many other people felt the same.
Alicia would have been a Senior this year and had just gotten her Senior ring a few weeks before the accident.
She would have no doubt made Homecoming Court again this year and some say probably Queen. She
would be starting soccer practice next month. A sport she loved and was very good at, especially slide kicking.
She was a quiet little thing unless she was with her friends. It is hard to believe this little thing broke 3 girl's
legs during one Soccer season and her own foot once during another season. I miss those soccer games.
She could run for 40 minutes straight without stopping unless it was to pull her hair back up and wipe the sweat
from her face with her shirt. :) Some games I'd have to watch from the car because she would give me "that
look" that said "Mom, shut up and stop yelling!". I always tried to yell positive things after coming close to
getting kicked out during a tournament when she was 12. :) But she always wanted me at her games and got
upset when I wasn't there. I wish I could see her play now."
