Lexa,
I still cant believe your not with us anymore.....It just feels like you are still on the vinyard working. I love you and miss you! I wish I said it more when you were here. Its hard for me right now because u know, I am an only child, so my first cousins are the closest I'll ever get to having siblings. I'll never forget who you were and with those memories you will live on forever. Thankyou for being such awsome person! Im proud to be your cousin. Love Danielle And Joey

To Gail and the Latteo Family,
I send my deepest sympathy to you at a time that no family should ever have to go through. May you all have wonderful memories of a life, short it may have been, with lots of happiness and treasured moments. Gail, if she was anything like you, she was truly a wonderful person, inside and out. God Bless you and the family!

May the Angels guide her into Paradise and the Martyrs greet her at her coming and may she live in the Light of Christ forever.

Sincerely,

To Lexa (Alexa), Family & Friends:

"I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone, wear nor forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little we enjoyed together. Pray, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it. life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well."
(excerpt from Henry Holland, Canon of St. Paul's Cathedral)

I feel your grief - I live with it each day, as you will - but I for what ever reason am able to put one foot in-front of the other and speak to my Angel, just as you will as time moves ahead. I will not lie to you IT IS HARD, but be the person or persons you are - cry if you shall need too, speak loudly if you shall want too, & keep LEXA'S Memories Forever On The Forefront.

Mom of An Angel

Alexa, my grand-daughter----so kind , so bubbly-----I am now back in Texas where you took your first breath, and my daughter Christine became a loving mom. I am so blessed that Rebecca and I had that time alone with you before you went out into the world of many others. Uncle Joe and Aunt Mary were pretty lucky too because they shared in the joy, here in texas not so long ago. Alexa I was so proud of your accomplishments and more proud of how loving you were to your friends and brothers, and pets. Suede must be jumping for joy to see you again. You are now at one with the universe and whether or not it is clear to us--the universe is unfolding as it should-----My heart is broken----I will be so happy to see you again when I come to the light and you greet me-----until then, in spirit only, I love you forever, Grammy
