Eric and family,
We are so very sorry to hear this news. My brother Mike and I have you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. We will always remember visiting with you, your parents, and Coach Mac and Aunt Jo, in Iowa City several years back (when Coach was inducted into U of I Hall of Fame). The stories that were told that evening!! Good times! May all of your memories help you during this difficult time. Love to your family.

Eric,

It is with great sadness that I learned of Alex' death. As you well know, he was the "pillar" of the Great Three - Johnny Mac, LT, and Alex. I know I can speak for my father - LT - when I say he will truly miss his friend Alex. I am so happy that I was able to see you and your Dad at S & W when I was last in Durham. Your family has been intertwined with the Walkers for all of my life. Faye, Alex, Katherine, and Johnny Mac are all watching over us now. I send my love and prayers...

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dr. Rivera,
Your family will be in my prayers.
