Alexander is survived by his paternal grandmother Maria del Carmen Palomo of San Luis Potosi, Mexico; maternal grandparents Francisco "Frank" and Amy Onate, his uncle Emmanuel Onate of Council Bluffs; his aunt Amelia Onate and his cousin Irene Alvarado Onate of Omaha; and many other family and friends who loved him.

I'm so sorry to hear about Alexander. Amara, I know how much you were looking forward to this beautiful baby and now you don't understand why he was taken from you. Know for sure that he is with God and you WILL see him again. All my love and prayers to you and your family.

In your time of sorrow, know that your son is in a far better place with God. For the short time he was here he brought you joy. God has called him for a reason, a reason we may not understand now or ever. But trust in your faith. You have seen an Angel.

My sympathies go out to Alexander Emmanuel Onate's family and friends. Losing a child, no matter the age, is heartbreaking. A parent has so many dreams for their babies, and to lose one at such a young age is sad. Know that your little one is with the other angels and he is looking down on you.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. We lost our grandson three days after his birth three years ago. NOTHING can replace the loss. Now I lay me down to sleep was a comfort to our family. God Bless you all.
