June 11, 2009

My beautiful boy
So much has happened in these past 6 months. In February, Donna and I shared a road trip, a much needed time together, as my strength was desperate for renewal. She gave me many words of wisdom which brought strength and comfort. I also began a Grief Share course that Pastor Tim and Jacquie taught and what I received in spirit and in truth has eased some of the anxiety and questions of why you were taken so young and, if are you in heaven. Well, yes, of course you are in heaven. Simply because you believed that Jesus, in obedience to God The Father, came to take away the sins of the world through His crucifixion. His blood washed our sins clean, thereby restoring us once again as acceptable to our Holy Father. Defeating death by His resurrection, we obtained the assured promise of eternal life with God. Anyone who accepts Christ as his personal savior as you did on Easter morning 2008, receives this promise. As I stand firmly in this truth, I know you are undeniably in the presence of our Lord. I also know, as sure as I am your mother, Jesus was with you Alex, the very moment you left this earth, and I rest in assurance knowing Jesus enfolded you into His arms, guiding you into paradise. As your mother, naturally I only want the very best for you. Your being in heaven, where glorious and wonderment cannot capture the essence of it's reality, I would never ask for you to return here only to face the temptations and evil that prey upon us. To live with sickness and disease, war and hatred, and then to succumb to death all over again. No, Alex. I want you exactly where you are, in the presence of Jesus in the house of God who, in being perfect has now made you perfect.
I so miss YOU, Alex. I miss the spirit, the core, the quintessential nature of you, my son. Although I find great comfort in my faith and I KNOW, I will see you again as we rejoice for eternity our love for God, I remain deeply grieved from this loss. I love you, Alexander. As you and Holy Spirit lift us up in prayer, ask for your father and your sister to have a heart to seek the face of God.
Always and Forever,
Mom

Beloved Alex, Heart Of My Heart,
It's nearly 6 months now, and the abyss in my heart just continues on. The bracelets Mrs. Parziale had made For Ashleigh and I, in your memory, are so very lovely, and I will treasure them forever.
Dad gave me a Mother's Bereavement Necklace that has this inscription:
Gone But Not Forgotten
Although We Are Apart
Your Spirit Lives Within Me
Forever In My Heart
I came across the B-Day card you gave me last year, after Grandpa passed away. You had much to say in addition to such a descriptive card. And then you ended with, "I love you very much Mom and I'm honored to be your son."
I have been told that you are a white light that surrounds me. I hope so Alex, because missing you is tremendous
Come to me Alex, for I am tired, and would welcome your cherished face. Once, you were my strength in this world. I need you again.
Forever,
Mom

Dearest Son,
May the peace that surpasses all understanding be with us on this most precious day. For God so loved the world, He sent His one and only son, Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer who came to take away the sins of the world. And in His coming, I will be reunited with you in His Kingdom. My beloved Alex, you pioneered the way. You are such a blessing. I love you always. Forever Mom

Memories of Alex go as far back as middle school. We were not only on the same baseball and basketball team, but also in English class. He was such a joy to be around, always thinking of a way to make me laugh in the classroom. My thoughts and prayers go out to him.

I feel so bad for the Peter's family I cannot even image what your going threw, I am so sorry that Alex is not with us now. I look at pictures of him when he was a baby and my heart breaks for you, he was so very kind to me so respectfull I love you Alex you were my gently giant. Please let me know if there is anyting I can do, I can't replace Alex but I have so many great memories of him I can share.

Dinyce Peters

My baby boy. Only God knows how much I miss you. The daily struggle of accepting life without you. Of trying to get it in my head that you are really gone from this world. I sit in your room so often, just touching your things and, your clothes and smelling your Angel colonge. I see your toothbrush and your hair products, your watch and the crosses you would wear around your neck. Oh Alex, this cross that I bear is so heavy and I feel it's crushing weight every moment. On your birthday, you were not there for me to hold and wish you so much for your life. To tell you again, what a blessing you are in my life and how complete our family is with you and Ashleigh as our children. All I could give you as a present was a funeral saddle that I made of white flowers to place atop of your headstone. And then, to see your name inscribed on it, my heart bled from the inside out and crumbled into a million pieces. Oh Alex, NO mother should bear this brokeness and sorrow. NO parent should bury their child without just cause. The void in our lives is so cavernous, it wil never, ever be filled. We live each day with a deep sadness. Oh Alex, I know you were called home to be with the Lord. That God Himself, planned your life according to His will and your work here was finished.
I will be forever grateful that His divine gift to us, was you. From the ashes there is beauty and somehow your life is a part His future plans for me, and by the strength and power of the Holy Spirit and the redemption of Jesus, I will be obedient and complete the work that our God has called me to do.
I Love You Alex
I Love You My Son
I Love You My Friend
I Love You Jesus
and I Thank You for
all your blessings

Forever, Mom

I know you are a strong Godly woman and you trust in Him and that must be a comfort. I have seen the photo album and you all look so blessed and happy and Fabulous!!! Alex was a force unto himself I remember your stories and I would chuckle at your frustrations with him. He seemed so mischeivious.

Over the weekend so much came to me and I thought of Alex. Our wedding picture with the words, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want" written on the side of the frame, Pictures of white flowers in frames on the walls.. What Alex stood for in life he carried into heaven; the promise we all have if we believe. Alex believed..

You are in my thoughts and prayers. When we experience a tragedy such as losing Alex, only our faith can comfort us. I am sure that not having to say "Good Bye", but rather, "until we meet again" will bring you some form of comfort!

Nick,

I don't know if you will ever read this, but I had to find a way to try to let you know how sorry I am to hear about Alex.

Way, way back at Kendall Station, from Greyhounds to raising kids.... I remember how you would just light up when you spoke of your baby boy.

There are no words to adequately express the shock and the saddness felt for your loss. After reading the guest book though, it sounds like your little boy grew up to be an amazing young man, just like his "old man" was way back when.

Your baby, your boy, your man, your son, so much in so short a time.

I wish you and your family peace.

August 16, 2008

Dinyce, Nick & Ashleigh,
I am so very saddened to hear of your loss. I am speechless. Dinyce, I wish I was there to hug you and listen to all of your precious memories of Alex. We would cry together. I never got to know him but with wonderful parents like you and Nick I'm sure he was a fabulous man. Please know I've said a prayer for Alex and I pray for you all everyday. How hard this must be but you are strong! If you need a shoulder, you know where I am.
Love to you all,
Donna

August 15, 2008

Alex,
In a world that was doing its best to make you like everyone else, you were able to remain true to yourself. You were different, and we all knew it from the very beginning. You had this presence, where people were just drawn to you. Little kids, animals, parents, my friends whatever. Your intimidating looks could not suppress your charming personality. Even when I was mad at you, I found myself asking you if you wanted me to make you breakfast.

Marianne Williamson wrote “There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people wont feel insecure around you.“

You understood this more than anyone I knew and that’s one thing that I admired most about you. I love that you didn’t care what anyone thought about you. I loved that there was nothing fake about who you were, you were simply you. You were a leader, and individualist, and of course a comedian. By being secure in who you were, you gave me the strength to be who I wanted to be.

When we were younger, I always thought you were a trouble maker, trying to make things hard on me but what I realize now is that you were just being Alex, refusing to conform and creating your own path. I respect that, and I am grateful that I now see the truth behind your actions. I know now that the reason that you were so hard on me was because you loved me. You were just doing what a big brother does, trying to protect his little sister. I know I never told you, but since we were babies I have always looked up to you. You always seemed untouchable to me. So fearless, so strong, almost indestructible.

Although I grew in your shadow, you have given me nothing but light.

I am still not sure why your time here has been cut so short, but I am proud to say that you did nothing but shine while you were here. The obstacles you have faced these past years have been disheartening and exhausting, but still you managed to come out smiling. I find comfort knowing that you will never feel pain again. You have touched so many lives Alex, and made a lasting impression on almost everyone you met. You helped to liberate us from our own fear and have given us a reason to live on your legacy. You are an angel, my brother, and our legend.

Alex,
I still cant believe you are gone. It seemed like it was just yesterday that we were making plans to hang out. I am going to miss you so much! And I am so sorry and regret not going to your wake or your funeral, it was too much for me to handle alone. I am going to miss our "party nights" that never end up at a party but at some random place. I will never forget you or all the wonderful things youve shown me about life. I will forever be thankful to you for showing me that life is an amazing thing and you are suppose to enjoy it, not stress it. I love you Alex and I meant it when I told you that you will always have a special place in my heart. Love you!

I can only say after the wake last night and looking at the pictures of Alex when he was just a little boy, how precious he was to me. My husband son and I felt so much pain for everyone in the Peter's family. If I was given a wish today, any wish it would be to bring Alex back I am so sorry I cannot. He will be so missed, my heart trully goes out to all.

Nick, Dinyce and Ashley,
Words cannot express the sadness I feel over the loss of Alex. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend time with Alex and get to know him better during his year at UT. I hope he felt the love and guidance that I shared with him during that time. He was a special young man who left this world much too early. His love for his family was apparent. He will remain in my prayers daily and the fun times we shared with provide lasting memories.

Al,

Our memories go way beyond anything I could say here. Since the summer of 05 we’ve been boys through it all. I never stopped laughing when I was around you and you could always make light of any situation. We had so many memories together that I will never forget and one day we’ll have more to laugh about on Monkey Island. Keep leading up there buddy and save some hair gel for me.

Love you forever,

Alex - The best friend I ever had. You stood up for me in situations where no one has ever stood up for me my entire life. You were definitly one of the last of a dying breed. Your leadership and knowledge was obvious to everyone around you and it was always graced with your ability to keep everyone happy and laughing. Most of all you showed respect to those who deserved it and you always were fair even when you didn't have to be. I will never forget the times we spent at the University of Tampa and elsewhere. You always were a stand up person, I thought of you like a brother and I will never forget you and all the times we laughed and joked. I hope you are in a place where your life is love. To the Peters Family, especially his sister Ashleigh, keep your head up

Alexander, our son, you were a divine gift from God, and I will rejoice in the Lord for His grace and mercy that He entrusted to us, the precious gift of your life.You will always be the white light of our lives and I will continue to draw from your strength. Alex, the Christian meaning of your name is, "Helper of Mankind". God gave you a work to do and you were faithful to His call, albiet unconventionally. You touched so many lives with the many facets of your personality. but your work here is now finished and Jesus has called you home. My son, you will forever stay alive in our hearts and the blessed memories we have. We will see you in His glorious kingdom.
Forever loving you,
Mom, Dad and Ashleigh
