Obituary of Alissa Lorelle Amalfi

Amalfi, Alissa Lorelle Rochester: January 3, 1993- January 2, 2016. God took back his angel, Alissa Lorelle Amalfi on January 2, an hour before her 23rd birthday. Alissa was truly a gift from God, who enriched the lives of those who knew her. She is survived by her parents, Michael and Kathleen Amalfi, brother Michael Amalfi Jr., sister Ashley N. Amalfi, brother-in-law Thomas P. Frye, and her nephew Thomas Julian Frye. She was blessed with two sets of living grandparents, John and Barbara Julian and Charles and Carol Amalfi. She has a loving extended family and network of friends and caregivers who loved her deeply. Although Alissa's time with us was too short, those who felt the warmth of her sweet smile or held her gentle hands, knew that her life was more full and rich than any of us could hope for. Alissa loved spending time with her family, surrounded by cousins, aunts and uncles both at home, and on many incredible vacations. Most recently, she found peace in her lifestyle in Florida, watching the ocean waves and enjoying the warm sun upon her porcelain skin. Alissa loved reading books, and we know that the angels in heaven are reading her endless stories as they welcome her into God's Kingdom. Alissa's life was enriched by the birth of her Nephew TJ, and our hearts overflowed with joy to watch that special relationship blossom and develop during their time together. We take comfort in knowing that she is at peace and her suffering is no more. Our hearts are heavy with grief at a life taken too soon. We know that she will be waiting to welcome us into heaven. Our sweet angel is missed already. Calling hours will be held at Falvo Funeral Home, 1295 Fairport Nine Mile Point Rd., Webster, NY 14580 on Wednesday, January 6th from 2-8 pm. A funeral mass will be held at St. Louis Catholic Church in Pittsford, NY at 11 am on Thursday, January 7th. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alissa Amalfi Memorial Fund, 300 East River Rd, PO Box 278996, Rochester, NY 14627. This will benefit Golisano Children's Hospital, a place that brought her much comfort and provided extraordinary care throughout her life.
