Cecilia was a beautiful woman and the most wonderful mother to Alyssa Franco and her four legged son named Benjamin. Alyssa is a full time college student. She works as a Police Cadet and volunteer Police Explorer for the Santa Monica Police Department. She has been a volunteer police explorer since she was 16. She is currently one of the explorer leaders of the program and holds the rank of Lieutenant. It was always uncontrollable fits of laughter to be around Cecilia. Even to strangers, she was the kindest soul and the most understanding person. After going back to school and conquering college, Cece lived her dream as an EMT— in the medical unit for Amazon. Although heaven gained a new angel, Alyssa lost her mother and her best friend to the COVID-19 Virus. Due to this era of Covid-19, it is heart-rending that at such a young age Alyssa was robbed of being able to be by her mother’s side during her battle with the virus and will not be able to say good-bye. A daughter should never have to lose her mother, let alone at this young age and during a time when hospital visits were not safe. Please, anything helps.
