i still can't believe it. ali, you were such a sweet girl ... you lit up this world. i didnt know you personally but i still knew who you were and you had still impacted my life. you brought sunshine to this world .... you brought hope to some people's lives. even though i will never truly understand why everything happened and played out the way it did but there's no doubt in my mind that God knew what he was doing. i miss and love you ali

Hey Ali, Its Aunt Becky again, I wanted to tell you that today I went to the hosptial and had some tests. And you know how Aunt Becky can talk to anyone. Well I started talking about you to the lady who did my tests and then she began to tell me about her best friend whos son was killed on the same day as you and was 16 also. Well I hope the two of you have found each other in heaven and maybe between the two of you, you can send some messages to other teens your age, help them to understand and to try to make good choices in their lives. Everyone needs a good angel to help them. And I know that your one of the best ones there Ali....We love you and miss you, love always Aunt Becky

Ali, first of all I would like to say I'm sorry for not having the opportunity to tell you how much I appreciated what a great cousin, friend & confidant you were to Maggie. You were her "ROCK" and for that I will always be grateful. I don't know if you realize how much she counted on you to get her thru all the teenage girl angst. You were her tried and true most trusted friend in the whole world. You were her "SISTER"by heart. My only hope now is Maggie will take some of who and what you were and grow and learn from it. She will miss you forever but lickily she has wonderful memories to help her thru.

Ali you touched alot of lives. I hope with this tragedy we have all learned a valuable lesson-live life to it's fulliest-with caution-make good choices.

You will forever be in our hearts!! Love Aunt Leann

Oops! I forgot the photo. Here it is.

The South Bend Arbogasts (Sara, Amber, Bobby and Dan) heard that PTHS was having a "pink day" in honor of Ali. We, of course, wanted to be a part of it. On Tuesday, we made our own South Bend pink day and took a picture, Ali-style. Notice, that Bobby is even wearing a pink towel on his bottom half. We love our Ali!

Hey, it's me again. Just thought i would say hi again. I cant stop thinking about you everytime i walk past your locker every 6 times a day. I see all the stuff that other people have written on there and then i look up and see this big heart my friend caleb made and put his name and mine and some other peoples names on it. But then i just walk on cuz i dont like the pain. So i guess i will just talk to you tomorrow. Lata gata!

Ali, you were one of the most amazing people, I have ever had the opportunity to know and love. We were always telling people "she's my cousin", b/c thats how we knew eachother, even though we only share the same cousins and therefore are distant....we both always happened to leave that part out. I remember sitting with you everyday in wittenberg's office and getting a HUGE hug from you and talking about our wonderful weekends. You have forever changed my life, and the lives of many others. You taught me how precious life is, and that I want to be more like you and get the best moments out of it everyday. I miss you Ali Rebecca and I think about you numerous times every single day, I can't wait for you to give me another HUGE hug someday, I'll be waiting for it.

First of all I would like to say thank you to Keri Jo and Stephannie for all you are doing to keep this precious angels memory alive.

I would also like to thank all my family and friends for the outpouring of love and suport they have given.

And to all who waited so long to say goodbye to our beautiful Ali...Thank you.

Pam and Steve

A Message to my Daughter,

I have so much I want to say to you but mostly I just need to tell you how much I love you and miss you. I feel as though a part of me died with you on that day. You are my first thought in the morning and my last thought at night. I know that I will never be the same person that I was before August 26. I am trying so hard not to be angry but I just want to scream why. Why did God have to take you from the people who loved you so much. I know that you wouldn't want me to be so sad. I remember when Grandpa died and how you would hold my face and look so deep into my eyes and tell me not to cry. Everywhere I look I am reminded of you And all my thought and memories are filled with our happy time together. I know that you are looking down from heaven and smiling that huge beautiful simle of yours. Everyone has such happy memories of you. I hope you know how many lives you touched during your time with us. I don't know why you had to leave me so soon. I know that God has a plan for you. My only hope is that I someday know why. If I could have one wish Ali it would be to spend just one more minute with you to tell you how much I love you and what an important part of my life you are. You are truly amazing. I love you.

Love, Mommy

I was in the room when Ali was born. It was the only time that I actually witnessed someone giving birth. I was there when Jill was born but I had Jenna with me & she was just 3 weeks old, so I didnt get to really focus on everything that was going on. Watching Ali being born was remarkable. I had C-sections & we all know that is so different then the real thing. You were a beautiful baby & that stayed with you thru out your life. Thank you for letting me share that wonderful day when you were born & everyday afterwards. Rest In Peace Sweet Angel!!

To my dear sweet Ali, What a much awaited baby you where to Pam and Frank. Your Mommy had a very hard time carring you and after 9 long months you came into this world and what a beautiful baby you where. You had the sweetest smiles, we all loved you so much. Along with our love came our very famous names for you....Ali Cat....Ali Becca and Al Bundy...and from you we would recieve your world famous hugs and kisses. WE sure do miss those. Could you please give Grandpa "Dad" a big and hug and some kisses for us. And could you tell your Uncle Dennis to help me look after Colson and Karliegh cause right now things are pretty rough and we could use some help from you precious "Angels". And I wanted to tell you how much of you that you left in Rebecca, "oh my gosh she is you made over" I even call her Ali half the time and I am sure that little Emma has some of you in her too. Well sweetie, you came into this world a beautiful baby and even though you had less than 17 years here on earth you touch alot of hearts. And now you left this world in more than words can decribe, but your a beautiful Angel.....Remember we all love and miss you, love always, Aunt Becky

I'm Ethan's mom. Ethan is Ali's nephew. I've known Ali since she was 1 1/2 years old. Even then she would run up and give me huge hugs. That is what I'll miss the most, her hugs. They always made me feel so good, and as she got older, old. There are so many memories that I have of Ali and will treasure them always. Whenever Ethan and I were in Pontiac, Ali would stop by and visit with him. Ali even babysat Ethan's brother Kanen just last year. She hugged and loved on him all night. Even though there was a distance between us, Ali bridged that gap. The last time I saw Ali was at my little sister Emily's graduation. I of course got my hug and now I just wish I would have held on forever. Ethan was lucky to visit one on one with Ali over the summer. They went to lunch and spent the evening with Grandma. How I wish I could've been there. Ethan will always love his Aunt Ali and so will I. She was a bright, loving girl that will be remembered forever. See you in heaven, Ali!!! I'm waiting for my hug!!!

Ali loved Grandma Days. We always would let whoever was having a birthday pick what they wanted for dinner. It's a good thing Jill also loved homemade noodles because Ali would pick that everytime. And she would come in the kitchen 20 times asking how much longer was it going to be. When she got older she would watch as my mom would make them & drive anyone who happened to be in the kitchen crazy w/ Ali just being Ali. She will always be in our hearts & forever be missed. She is our angel in the sky. See you in Heaven Al Bundy!!
Love Ya!!! Aunt Sandy

Logic tells me that gives some meaning to why it happened. That's over 2000 people who looked into her casket and saw her beautiful young face and were touched in some way. And now we can all learn something from her. Maybe it's to cherish moments we have with the people we love or not to drink and drive or just to try and smile more, I don't know, whatever it is, that's what gives her death meaning and that's why she is gone. It is the only logical explanation for it. She was sort of a little miracle being brought into this world and a loving soul. The numbers don't lie, and like me, she loved math... 1 special little girl + 16 years of of smiles x 100,000,000 hugs + over 2000 people touched - differences / divided by nothing = Ali's last little miracle. Thank's Ali. I will miss you forever.

LOGIC
Sadness, sorrow, anger, hate, pity, numbness, disbelief, all of these things deal with or are a result of emotions and feelings. None of which will lead us to an answer for what we are all thinking when we look into the casket of an innocent 16 year old girl and ask why. Why did this have to happen? Only logic can give us any type of answer. Both logic and emotions tell us it should never have happened. It was senseless for this to happen on so many levels, yet it did. So why? If it is senseless then how can logic give us an answer? Because logic helps us find meaning to questions, and although Ali's death was senseless, it wasn't meaningless.Like so many great discoveries and achievments throughout our history it has come with a price. Sometimes to overcome an obsticle or to learn a lesson, you wind up losing things you love and cherish. Sometimes the tradeoff isn't fair at all, but you got to take what you get and cherish those things you have and remember those things you've learned. I have lost my sister and it's a raw deal and I would give anything to spend another minute with Ali but I can't, so I have to take what she has given me and all of us with her love. She brought over 2000 people together that otherwise wouldn't have been.

Hey, Ali was an aswome cousin and a cool friend. I know she is loving the fact that there is a website all about her. And the fact that now everyone who was complaining about those huge hugs are now treasuring them... No matter how many of us who were at grandmas on Sundays Ali made sure we all got our hugs and kisses. She made sure we all felt loved. We will all miss that. I know i will expecially miss the puffer jokes and rocking out to music, singing off the top of our lungs in my car. I will miss the way she always got mad because Emma (her niece) always came to me first. And most of all her personality. Ali tell everyone hello and i will see you in heaven!!!!!!

Hi, Im Ali's cousin Maggie. I dont really know how to explain how close me and Ali were, but i considered her my sister that fate forgot to give me! I love her with all my heart, and even though i know she knew that i wish i could of told her how she really meant to me. She was the one person i could go to with my problems. Like now when im in pain or i need to talk i feel like i dont get the full effect because Ali was the one who knew just what to say and knew just what to do. I hate to admit it but she was always right, as much as i hated not being right, i knew she was! I know that everyone is saying they miss her bear hugs but it is soo true! I loved being able to say having big boobs runs in the family. That was our motto. I loved it! Like Kathy said too, i just want to hear her say "Peace Out I Love You!" then give you the biggest kiss in the world. I dont think i have ever had someone kiss and love on me as much as she did! I want her to ask me 1 more time what bra im wearing or "Are you wearing your victoria sercret underwear today?" I hate living with the fact that i dont get to talk to my best friend every day. I feel like i have lost a huge part of me but at the same time im so glad that she is in the place that she always knew she wanted to be. Even though im jealous that she gets to sit and talk to grandpa before i did, I will always treasure the times i had with her and wait for the time i get with her in heaven! I cant wait to see her beutiful smile and her boobs sticking half way out of her shirt! I love that girl and i hope she knew that! And all of this is just half the fun times me and Ali shared !
Love always Mags!
