Dear sister of Ryan Nagi.

Alanna is beloved by her family and friends. Her greatest happiness has come from being with her family and friends, and spending time with them doing the things she loves. Her beautiful personality, her joy, her bubbliness, her sparkling outlook, and her humor have touched all who have been blessed to know her.
She has captured her family, friends, and her travels through her love of photography. She has shared scenes of family celebrations, parties with friends, school dances, nature, animals and sunsets on Facebook for everyone to see.
Alanna has traveled extensively for someone so young. She visited Europe three times with her family. Their favorite is Italy. In Rome, Alanna walked the corridors of the ancient Colosseum, felt the cool spray from the Trevi Fountain, and prayed at the Vatican. She saw Naples, Florence, Venice and Sicily, and climbed Mount Etna and Mount Vesuvius.
She bicycled in Barcelona, Spain; played on the beach in Cannes, France; and stood under the pillars of the Parthenon in Greece and visited the country's islands of Mykonos and Santorini.
In Asia, she climbed hundreds of steps on a mountaintop to see the famed Big Buddha in Hong Kong; and in Thailand, she fulfilled her dream of riding an elephant. She sailed in the Caribbean, laughed while parasailing in Key West and swam with the dolphins in Mexico.
Alanna has always been a shining bright light in our lives and will continue to be a shining light through eternity. We adore you, and our love for you comes from the deepest part of our hearts.
"La vita è bella."
