Alyssa Peterson, 16, died this morning after she lost control of her car and hit a cement building. According to her best friend, Donovan Carson, "Alyssa was never a great driver. I have always expressed my concern for her safety. I always warned her about paying attention to the road and now I will never get to see her until I reach heaven myself."
Alyssa has always been such a loving person who cared about other people at all times. Her number one priority in life was God. She always put Him first. Alyssa was a girl who set her sights high. She was doing full-time PSEO as a junior in high school at North Central University and Anoka-Ramsey Community College and was working part-time at Caribou Coffee. Alyssa wanted to do full-time ministry, get married and have kids someday.
Alyssa is survived by her parents, Curt and Lori, her brothers, John, Andrew and Jacob, her sister-in-law, Alicia, and nieces, Jailyn and Ashlyn.
The funeral will be held at Constance Evangelical Free Church at 5 PM on Thursday with a visitation from 2-4 PM.

  1. I like how a lot of people used a bit of humor in writing these. Love the quote from your friend. I think self-deprecating humor is the best kind. Anyway, good job!

  2. First of all, sorry you died. Secondly, I hope you weren't texting and driving. Lastly, good job. You seemed to get the important information in and resisted the temptation to get overly gory.
