To Mitchell and All Family,
We send our heartfelt condolences and sympathy to the family of Alexandra Paul. May your treasured good memories provide comfort for you always. Thank you, Ms. Paul, for sharing your skating and dancing talents with us. I enjoyed watching you skate in the Olympics and admired your grace on the ice. It was so obvious you enjoyed what you were doing, and you did it well. Your legacy will continue.
Please continue to treasure your good memories and may they soothe your saddened hearts. May prayers strengthen you and cherished memories comfort you, and may God soothe your hearts and comfort you always. Psalm 23

Tracy & I would like to extend our deepest condolences on this unimaginable loss. May her memory be for a blessing.

Mitch and Baby Charlie, Gordon, Anne, David, Debbie and Families.
It's been years since our time at Mariposa, yet memories of Alex came flooding in over this past painful week. I remember one of the European events when Mitch, you competed with Alex for the first time. It was in Poland, we were watching with Gordon and Anne... I still remember the costumes you wore, and how you moved on the ice together... I sat there mesmerized. The magic, beaty and grace on ice. This is how I will always remember Alex; her warm, genuine smile, her happy eyes and her way of making others comfortable. She was truly a precious gem. May She Rest in Peace and watch over her Family.
Sending our heartlet condolences to you all.

We grieve alongside you all and struggle to comprehend this horrific loss.
Alex will forever be remembered as a role model to our daughter as a skater & human. As parents, we were fortunate to know Alex´s family and it quickly became apparent why Alex exemplified the characteristics we all strive to have our children mimic.
Mitch, the Islam family & Uncle Doug are the reason our lives became entwined with the Paul family. Our hearts ache for this tragic loss.
One thing we know for certain, is that these families and the skating world will bond together and create a support system to support Mitch, Charlie, family & friends through the tough days ahead.
Sending love, strength & hope; the Whitley family (Greg, Kathy, Hannah, Tristan & Blaine(Ally))

As a long time fan of Alex and Mitch I was very saddened to hear of Alex' passing. They were an amazing dancing team and I think we all know we would have seen them at a second Olympics but for the extremely talented ice dance teams Canada had. Still she and Mitch remained classy and positive. But Alex was smart and had other opportunities. Law school is no easy accomplishment. Olympic skater. Lawyer. Mom. Wife and awesome person. She accomplished so much in so little time. As Alex twizzels through Heaven my prayers go out for Mitch,Charlie and the friends and family she leaves behind.

I´ve never heard of Alex, but I am a mother of a little boy, who is my world and my heart truly breaks for her child, her husband, her parents, and all those that knew and loved her. I recently lost my Daddy, who was my lifeline, and one of my bestest friends. Please know and believe, she will always be with you just be open to her presence and she will come.
Please tell your son to talk to her and to know his mommy will never be too far from him.
