Alex Alves Obituary
The Amaral Carvalho Hospital in the interior Sao Paulo city of Jau said Wednesday that Alex Alves needed the transplant last month because of a rare bone marrow disease.
Alex Alves thrived with Palmeiras and Cruzeiro before moving to Germany in 1999. He spent four years with Hertha, scoring more than 20 goals in nearly 80 matches. The club released a statement lamenting his death.
Alex Alves helped Palmeiras win the 1994 Brazilian league, and later also played for Vasco da Gama and Vitoria.
Local media reported that the speedy Brazilian had struggled financially because of the disease and received help from former teammates in Brazil.

This was truly an amazing person with so much talent the loss is clearly ours. Prayers fill our hearts while singing praises to God asking him to let us never forget the love we have for this wonderful person gone from our lives never forgetting the joy we shared experiencing a great talent. Hebrews 6:10.

Estou tão triste de ouvir sobre a perda de sua amada. Por favor, ser confortado em saber a bíblia a promete que aqueles que morreram vão viver novamente e que não vamos mais ter que lidar com a morte, doença e outros problemas que lidar com não ouvir nenhum Terra. No Apocalipse 21:3,4, que diz: "Deus ... residirá com eles, e eles serão o seu povo E Deus himselp estará com eles E enxugará toda lágrima de seus olhos ea morte será.. não mais. nem pranto, nem clamor, nem dor. As coisas anteriores já paseed de distância. "Eu rezo thes pensamentos estão incentivando para você.

Parece tão injusto que a morte deve ter o poder de tirar alguém que você ama. Se você está sofrendo, talvez algumas dessas Escrituras também vão ajudar você. (2 Coríntios 1:3, 4) Bendito seja o Deus e Pai de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, o Pai de ternas misericórdias e o Deus de todo o consolo, que nos consola em toda a nossa tribulação, para que possamos consolar os [que estiverem] em qualquer sorte de tribulação, por intermédio do consolo com que nós mesmos estamos sendo consolados por Deus. Se você gostaria de aprender mais, testemunhas de Jeová será feliz em ajudá-lo.
