Not sure what to say?

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Richardson and Patrick,
I realized the other day that I have known Alex since we were three years old. We didn’t become friends until we rode the bus together, but it’s weird to think back and realize I’ve known him almost my entire life. When my dad passed away Alex became more than a friend, but a like brother to me. He watched out for me, and sometimes I didn’t even know it. Recently I found out that when my boyfriend and I started dating Alex told him that he...

Dear Pat, Carol and Patrick,
I know the pain is unbearable. I promise you that one day, you will be able to remember Alex with a smile, not just tears. What an incredibly talented, handsome, funny, well loved young man he was! It breaks my heart to know the unbelievable sadness you are going through. I am so grateful to you for being there for us after Mike's passing. Please let us be there for you: no matter what you need. Alex will always be in our hearts, as will you. Remember, you...

Alex, you will always be the man i looked up to. On the football field, i wanted to be like you, tough and not taking anything from nobody. I saw you as a role model for myself. I will always remember you A Rich, you are a part of me, and part of who i am as a person. This entire season is for you bro!

Dear Richardson family,
Though I've never officially met Alex, I think of him often as I do your family. My son Brandon knew Alex and told me that he was always a nice guy, very funny and a great football player. He also said he was the one in the weight room always encouraging the players to work harder and to do their best. My husband and I recall the often announced "#34, Alex Richardson" at the Varsity FB games!
Just reading the all these entries tells us so much about a young...
