"Alyssa Josephine O&amp;#x27;Neill, an 18-year-old getting ready to enter Penn State Behrend to study nursing, texted her mom to see if they could go to Starbucks so that she could try her first pumpkin spice latte. Very sadly, Alyssa passed away the next morning from an epileptic seizure, and she never got to meet her mom and sip that latte. But now her family has done something extraordinary to pay tribute to Alyssa, honor her last wish, and raise awareness about epilepsy. Several days after Alyssa&amp;#x27;s memorial, the grieving family went to Starbucks and bought 40 pumpkin spice lattes for the next 40 customers, writing #AJO on each cup in her remembrance. The managers of the store were so touched by the story, they donated another 50 lattes, telling Alyssa&amp;#x27;s story to everyone who asked about the mysterious #AJO on their free cups. Faster than you can say &amp;quot;espresso,&amp;quot; acts of goodwill bearing the #AJO hashtag showed up on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Strangers from all over the world have &amp;quot;paid it forward&amp;quot; to people they don&amp;#x27;t know, buying gift cards and cups of coffee&amp;amp;#8212;and even paying off others&amp;#x27; layaway purchases. Alyssa&amp;#x27;s family is very understandably still missing her, but they&amp;#x27;re grateful that the pay-it-forward movement has meant that her memory still lives. Says mom Sarah O&amp;#x27;Neill: &amp;quot;All of this is happening because of Alyssa. This just might have been her purpose.&amp;quot; Just...amazing.
