Carla,
I want you to know that I have been deeply saddened by your loss and that you have been in my heart and in my prayers daily. I can only imagine what a wonderful young man Alex is after hearing about him and his accomplishments from you; and seeing the motherly pride in your eyes and hearing it in your voice when you spoke of him. I know that he must have the same caring loving heart that you have, and all those who came in contact with him felt the same comfort and love that one feels in your presence. I can only image how different things will feel, but I do know that his spirit lives on and that you will feel his presence and spirit in your heart until you are reunited with him when this stage of our journey is concluded. He is now with our Father in Heaven and surrounded by his love.
I would like to thank you for your friendship, for your wonderful spirit and personality. You are truly a joy to be around, and I’m sure that as your son Alex gave the same effect to others. Italians are people people, I do know this. I also know that the Lord will not give us more than we can handle in this life, even if at times we feel we cannot undergo the circumstances. If there is ever anything that I can do for you please do not hesitate to ask. You and your family are in my prayers and in the prayers of my colleagues . I hope that in this season of giving and celebration of the birth of our savoir Jesus Christ that he may give to you peace and comfort in your heart.
Respectfully,
Brett Walker

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. -unknown-
RIP Alex you will be missed.

Carla, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. I haven't had the opportunity to know my extended family too well, but I have always seen the wonderful pictures of Alex and Austin over the years and watched them grow from afar. I send the deepest condolences in this sad time. (Dale and Jackie's daughter - Jill)

Carla and family, I sympathize deeply with your immeasurable loss. I never met your son Alex but he sounds like the kind of person I would have grown fond of and admired. We all loose a beloved family member at one time or another, so at some small level we can also share the pain and sorrow and hope in the hereafter. The hope of meeting them once again face to face in a loving embrace. My heart simultaneously breaks and rejoices over these hard to understand acts of our ever-loving, all knowing, all powerful God. Peace to your hearts and souls.

Carla and Austin,
I can't begin to imagine this wonderful world without Alex in it. He brought me so many joyful funny moments as a teacher and I will always treasure the thought of him and remember his laughter.
While I cannot even begin to imagine the pain you feel, I am just sick over the fact and wish I were there to offer you some measure of strength and comfort. My prayers are with you all.

Hi Carla - Robert told me about Alex's tragic collision earlier tonight and instantly the tears started flowing. I am still mourning the loss of my 17 yr. old nephew 3 weeks ago by his own hand. Why do our children have to leave us so soon in life? I can't even imagine what my sister and brother-in-law are going through and now you. I would like to share a memory that might bring a smile to your face. When Alex was about 4-6 weeks old, you and Brian brought him to visit Robert & me (we were married at that time). While the three of you were chatting away, I snuck Alex away into my young daughter's playroom. I wanted to play dress ups with him (he was so tiny) but since my daughter had only dolls, I found a babydoll dress and put it on him just for giggles. It fit perfectly! I started laughing so hard, the three of you came in to see what was going on. Brian had an absolute fit as you and Robert just laughed. I doubt you remember that but I'll never forget it and thought I'd share that fond memory with you. You and I bonded so well, I always enjoyed our conversations and laughter. I still consider you my friend and want you to know how deeply sorry I am. From the posts here, it is obvious you did a wonderful job raising Alex so as you grieve, also give yourself a pat on the back once in a while and hold on tight to your other son (whom I have not had the chance to meet) and enjoy every minute with him. He will need you now more than ever as you will him. My thoughts will be with you and my prayers for you and your family every day and night for a long time. May the Lord hold you ever so tightly in his precious hand to ease your gut-wrenching pain and keep you going (one day at a time). Love, Janis Patterson (formerly Morelli (Robert).

Carla and Austin,
No words in the world can express the sorrow that we all feel. It couldn’t be happening… and it did.
We know, you are very strong – you will find the way out of this sharp pain…You’ve got each other. Alex will always be with you and with all of us.
If there is anything we could do to help (beside praying).

Carla and Austin,
My heart breaks in disbelief of what has happened. I can't even wrap my mind around the loss you have suffered and have been thinkikng of you since I heard. Please know so many are praying for you. What a respectful, polite person he was to me while the boys were growing up! He and Preston had many adventures during their lifetime. I know Preston will hold many memories dear to him. It is so hard as a single parent, but please know and feel good about the fact that you did an awesome job with him, and lead by example, teaching him to be a kind, loving, giving person. I wish I could lessen the pain you feel, anything at all you need of me I would be honored to do for you. May god take you under his wings at this, the worst time of your life.

I am so very sorry for your loss. It seems like just yesterday that you were talking to me about our own loss of Tracie two years ago and I can only say that Donnel's and my thoughts are with you and your family. We pray for your recovery from this tragedy and hope that you all can understand the thoughts behind what was told to us two years ago
Grieve well, Carla. Our prayers are with you

Carlo,
You always had this amazing ability to shine no matter the circumstances. From the moment I met you, I saw that you could make everyone around you smile and you did so each day. You were such a strong, positive person that everyone who knew you is a better person for having done so. I can't believe that you are gone, and I already miss you so much.
To the Morelli-Saurdiff family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Carlo,
You will be missed by everybody! No one I have ever known has impacted my life and changed my direction like you did. From the day I met you I could see how great and high spirited you were. I haven't known you all that long, but for the time I have it feels like its been forever. We shared every single interest and got along really well and that's why we got a house together. I haven't said that about anybody else, but you were the only person I looked up to and I'll really miss that. Our house won't be the same without you! I can't believe you just leave us like that with so much ahead of you. I hope that you're in a better place and I'll see you soon buddy!

Dear Carla, Austin and Family,
I will always remember Alex's big warm smile, his sense of humor (even at an early age) and his loving nature. One of my fondest memories is of both Alex, and Austin, running up to me as boys in the walkway leading up to your house when I would come to visit. They would wrap their little arms around me and give me the biggest hugs, and it gave me such great joy to experience their unconditional love, especially since I have no children of my own. This simple, innocent and loving act meant more to me than words can express.
And now, I send much love and healing energy to all of you for your immeasurable loss. As we all know, Alex grew into a truly fine young man, no doubt as a result of your unending love, Carla, and the great job you did at raising him, along with the love and support he always received from your dear family.
Please know that although many miles away, I am with you in spirit.
With much love and deepest sympathy, Susan

I had the privilege of meeting Carl since he was a friend of my son's. They attended Neumont together. And my son, "Guido" brought Carl home one day so they could do homework together. Carl was polite, a little shy and very studious. My condolences to his family to be robbed of such a special young man so early in life.

Alex,
Dear, sweet Alex. A friend to everyone. Always there when needed. Willing to lend a helping hand even when it was an inconvenient. I've never know another person with your flare. Always kind to everyone. It's rare to come across an individual as unique, positive and refreshing as you. You were an amazing man and my life is better for having known you. Thank you for supporting me, believing in me and for your unconditional love and friendship. I love you Alex. I will miss and forever remember you. In the short time you were here you were always a wonderful example and did so many good, selfless acts for others. I can only imagine how many wonderful things you will be able to accomplish now. I love you and look forward to seeing you again. Sincerely, Brea

Carla and Austin,
I am so sorry about Alex. He was such an amazing person! Words cannot describe him. I always looked forward to seeing his bright smile and talking with him at any family function. Trevor also had a deep respect for Alex. He had such ambition and great potential in life. I am sure he, Uncle Carl, and Greg are having a joyous reunion and even causing a little trouble up there!! Alex will be deeply missed! I love him very much and love you two as well! If there is anything we can do for you, please let me know.
Love Always,
Melissa and Trevor

Carl,
If I'd known you when i was younger I think i would have told everyone that I wanna grow up to be just like you. Knowing you has changed my life forever and has given me perspective that I can't find anywhere else. You always looked at the good in everything. Even if there was none to be found. Somehow you just knew how to make everyone feel better. Losing a friend like you hurts deep, but somehow i know that all you would want from me is to smile and remember all the good times we had together. I will never forget you bro and hope that where ever your are. You are happy and still the good old Carl that everyone loved and looked up to.

Dear Carla and Austin,
Please know that you are in our hearts and our prayers. We loved Alex very much. We found him to be a charming and delightful young man. I'll (Theresa) never forget his wonderful Italian dish that you would help him make that he brought into the office. He loved you very much, and thought you were a wonderful Mom, which you are! Austin, he thought you were a cool "little brother". If there is anything at anytime that we can do for either of you, please do not hesitate to call us.
Take care of yourselves. We love you,
Theresa, Chris, and Sean Wadium

Alex,
You were one of the most genuine people I have ever met. I miss you so much, I wish when you called me friday I had dropped everything I was doing to go see you. I never realized that sometimes there isn't a tomorrow, or a next weekend. I didnt realize I wouldn't get another chance to see you. I'll never forget you and your smiles, you were always in so happy it was impossible to be in a bad mood around you. You certainly left your mark in this world, I know you did on me. I love you buddy, my heart goes out to your family. Maybe I'll see you again someday.
love always,

Alex, Austin, and Carla,
I am so sorry for what has happened. I will never forget Alex's great smile and how sweet he was. The last time I saw Alex was at Market Street when he was working there. Alex gave me the hardest time about going into the bar because I forgot my ID, even though he know I was old enough, so I sat in the lobby waiting for my mother to get there, because he said that the only way he could let me in without my ID, was if I had parental supervision. So as I sat there waiting for my mom Alex and I talked and he made me laugh so hard. He was such a great person, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Jennifer Jentzsch

Please dont hesitate to ask for anything! We love you guys.
