alayna was such a sweet girl, she was smart, and kind, and an all around amazing person to be near. every time i saw her (which was often until i moved) she immediately put a smile on my face. the first thing she ever said to me was a compliment, showing how sweet she was. i cherish the times we sat outside 2/3 period “studying” (aka laughing) and the talks about our favorite music and such. fly high alayna. you’ll be missed . 🕊️🤍
