Tim, Mason & Evan,

We love you and pray everyday that God will comfort you in a special way. I'm so glad that we were all together in Texas in Nov. and got to spend a little extra time with Alexis. It was special that all of us got to ride back on the same plane. We all loved Alexis.

Love and prayers always,

Aunt Sue, Uncle Randall & family.

Alexis is now an Angel in Heaven Lively , Lovely, and Laughing. Her time here on earth brought so much joy to so many. Her beauty, talent and joyous spirit will be missed. She was a kind and wonderful person I had the privilege of knowing when we were in high school. I remember her well and will always have a place for her in my heart.

Sincerely
Alexis Lott IC class of 92

We first met as little girls whose fathers worked together. Back then, everyone talked about our name and how unusual it was for us to share it--back when Alexis wasn't common as we would say.

It's hard to believe that someone I remember by her huge smile and happy disposition is gone.

You left many of us with fond memories and lots of laughs. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Cantrell and Shrader Family:
I was so sorry to hear about Alexis. I graduated from high school with her. She always made me laugh. I'll never forget her skit with Jill Hunter "The Sweeney Sisters" They were so funny together! You are all in my prayers.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
I remember Alexis from the Brownsville Rd. cheerleading days. We also went to IC together. She will be greatly missed.

Dell Russell

January 4, 2008

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this very difficult and hard time of life. I had Alexis on my cheerleading squad at Brownsville Rd. many years ago. She was a joy and added much to our squad. From everything I've read so far, she continued to make a difference in her adult life as well. I will keep you, your boys and the entire family in my thoughts and prayers.

As the person who originally introduced Tim and Lex (all those many years ago), I always felt like their personal Fairy Godmother. I don't know why I was surprised when it worked out - they were so obviously meant for each other. I can't tell you how glad I was that it worked out so well - two people have never deserved happiness more.

I went to high school with Lex, and we tried very hard to liven up the place (and every other place, some would say). I like to think we succeeded in that endeavor. I have some truly excellent memories of Lex - the vast majority have Jimmy Buffet as the soundtrack, though some have cheesy, Sunday-afternoon-on-WRVR love songs playing in the background. The Pina Colada song was never the same after Lex learned the words.

I have no doubt that Lex and my Momma are in charge of the "Margaritaville" sing-along in heaven. She's in good hands - Momma will keep her company until we get there.

Munkie, I will miss you every day. How can I not? Everything I look at reminds me of you... things we bought together, things you gave me or made for me, things we talked and joked about. I was so lucky to be blessed to find a new best friend in you. I'll miss you everyday, but praise God that I know there will be one day when I will get to see you again.

Thanks to the person who said that Alexis will be singing carols like never before this year. Can't you just see her singing and clapping?

Ah, we love you, Lex. You left an amazing legacy and touched so many lives. I know God is at work in the midst of all these awful circumstances, working good for many. We just miss your beautiful face.

Words cannot adequately express my heartbreak at the news of the Homegoing of your bride and your boys' Mom. My comfort remains that she is with our Savior and Lord, and that you will all see each other again. Please contact me if there is anything that I can do for you or your precious sons. My sincerest and heartfelt condolences go to you and your family as you find comfort in our great and merciful Lord.

Alexis is going to be greatly and deeply missed this and many holidays forever to come. She was my Daddy's cousin by marriage...she was much loved by all of her family. But to whoever reads this guest book, family friends and all others, we should not ever wish her to return to this lowly world. For she is singing Christmas carols like she's never sung nor heard on earth. She is having Christmas with the angels!! So, even though she is missed, know that she is being taken care of by her Father in Heaven until we see her beautiful face again someday. Merry Christmas Alexis!
