    I’m so sorry for your loss. Over the years Alex was an inspiration to me. She was instrumental at many pro social groups. Her warm and loving attitude was so attractive. I know she told me of the love for her brother and family. God did take her troubles away and she is safe now. However being a new father myself, I feel every laugh and cry. May god bless you and comfort you. She will be missed.

    I am so sorry to hear about Alex’s passing. She was such a beautiul person with a kind and loving soul. I feel lucky that I was able to be her friend during high school. I can still remember the paintings and drawings all over her room. I wish that we had stayed closer throughout the years. I will always remember her and I’m thinking about her family and friends during this time.
