Alicia Lynn Page, born March 19, 1985 in Tulsa, passed away on Oct. 2, 2004 in Claremore. Alicia was a 13-year-student of Glenpool Schools, graduating in 2003. She was involved in vocal music, cheerleading and National Honor Society. She was currently a sophomore at Oklahoma State University, majoring in journalism.
Alicia was affectionately called "Pud Head" by her friends and family. She had a huge heart and was filled with a strong desire to make everyone around her feel good about themselves. Her ability to laugh at herself and to help others see the brighter side of life drew others to her like a magnet. Her beauty and grace radiated from the inside out. Alicia Lynn made our world a better place to live. "Pud" had a tender heart for animals of all kinds. She especially loved to play and love on dogs of all shapes and sizes.
Alicia was an exceptionally gifted writer and dreamed of a future as a published author. She had the ability to put her thoughts and feelings into her writing that profoundly touched the hearts and minds of all who read her works. She was an artist who was always looking for inspiration while quietly inspiring those around her.
Alicia was a beaming light and a loving precious soul to so many people. She had a very special way of reaching out and touching the lives of others. She could brighten the darkest hour with her very presence and illuminated the world with her radiant smile.
Alicia spent her time spreading love and joy wherever she went. She loved life and always lived it to the fullest - finding every opportunity to "play and just have fun."
She had an unequaled bond with her best friend and soul mate - her sister and guardian angel, Cristen. She also enjoyed a very close and loving relationship with her maternal grandparents, Cliff and Peggy Bond.
The light she brought into the world for all who knew her will forever be missed and never forgotten.
Alicia Lynn is survived by her parents Rick and Linda Page of Glenpool, and her sister, best friend and soul mate, Cristen Renee Page.

"The recent death of our long time dear friend Iva Price, exemplifies one who never forgot to visit sick friends as well as newcomers. She and her husband, John Price, practiced this daily by doing errands for the sick, taking food, sharing the beautiful flowers grown at their home. Mrs. Price was in a nursing home at the time of her death. She had been a shut-in for four years. She was born near Mulberry, Arkansas. We often heard Mrs. Price tell of her great admiration for her step-father. Her passing leaves us sad to lose such a dear, long time friend. The memory of such a good Christian couple will remain lasting."

Bixby, Oklahoma
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am a diamond's glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
Bixby, Oklahoma
