Luzardo, Alicia
Lovely Alicia Luzardo, mother, sister, friend and grandmother, passed away peacefully and surrounded by loved ones on Saturday, October 10th.
She was born in Toronto and raised in Southern California, the daughter of Robina Watson from Kirkintilloch, Scotland and Alfonso Luzardo from Bogota, Columbia.
Alicia was diagnosed with stage IV cancer in February, a hand she graciously accepted for a long, slow dance.
Alicia was kind, compassionate, full of understanding and forgiveness; every choice she made was thoughtful, concise and with purpose. Thank you Alicia, for sharing this experience with us.
You helped us to carve through that which is nonessential and recognize our own strengths.
There was laughter and pain and love and loss and suffering, all the elements of a life well lived — truly lived.
The bustle in a House
The Morning after Death
Is solemnest of industries
Enacted upon Earth—
The sweeping up the Heart
And putting Love away
We shall not want to use again
Until Eternity.
Emily Dickinson
