My Nina Alex was a wonderful human being, she was always thoughtful of others and kind. When my family first settled in Carlsbad she was there to help us get settled in the community. It was my honor to have her accompany me on the day of my first communion. I will always remember her with the warmest thoughts.

Alex was such an angel and brought joy to so many people. The lives of my children, my husband and I were so enriched by her friendship and love. We will miss her so very much.
