Dear Helyn & family,
I have treasured memories of the time that Alex and you stayed with me. Alex was always such a happy child and I was impressed with his kindheartedness, loyalty, curiosity & intelligence, and, most of all, his love. Alex’s memories are alive and will continue to stay with me.
Helyn, I am with you in this time of sorrow, and in the days ahead may you and your family find comfort in your memories of Alex.
Love always,
Sandyroo
