Comments: I just want the Coco family to know that as terrible and tragic as Alese's story is, it is beautiful and motivational. I am currently being treated for Hodgkin's and although I try to maintain a positive attitude, I have trouble grasping the severity of it but your daughters story has helped me accept cancer. She is truly living on.

Thanks Alese for sharing. You are now up in heaven with Amanda Dieppa, two strong faith women taken from the earth to early! Thanks for reminding me to be thankful...(trimmed)

It will be 6 months tomorrow. I know you all miss Alese. We try to be happy our beloved ones are with Jesus. Yes, I'm happy for Mother and for Alese.

I never really though that this would have happened and I'm so sorry it did. Such a beautiful girl now gracing a far far more beautiful place.

This is Angie, a nurse from UCLA who took care of Alese along with other nurses. I have a picture with Alese, from the UCLA holiday party in 2004 where she told all of us that she will be a fighter and go to NY. We all prayed for her. We all loved Alese, and we will never forget her spirit, her smile, and her love for life. I am truly sorry for your loss, but I know Ales...(trimmed)
