Not sure what to say?

I still think of you In your opti today whenever I happen to come into the WYS.

Diana and Susan (and all other family members) - I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Losing any child at any age is a burden that no parent, grandparent or other relative should ever have to bear. Love, Rosemary Wiener

I see so much love and a beautiful soul in your beloved Alexander's face. Like so many others, I was drawn to read his amazing accomplishments. I extend my deepest sympathy to your whole family. I am the mother of a son who in many ways reminds me of yours and I cannot imagine your loss. Please know that I am praying for peace and God's love to help you through your loss.

We also were touched deeply by Alex's photo in the Times. That it appeared several days in a row also added to our concern and sympathy for your family. We as parents identify with you and share your grief and pain.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Rothwell and Zach-
I am one of the people who saw Alexander's photo in the NYT and was struck by how much he had accomplished in such a short time and how special your family must be...
I know from experience that we carry the people we love
forever in our hearts.

I am so sorry for your loss! I went to school with Alex at the Montessori School and he was a great kid! Sending my best wishes to his whole family. He will be missed!

Like several people who have shared their thoughts with you I too was drawn to your son's picture in the Times. His beautiful face is filled with love and a peace that not many have.I know he'll continue to live in the hearts of those who knew him and loved him the most.My sincere condolences on your loss. Judi Snyder

I, too, was struck by his glowing face in The New York Times and impressed by his gifts and accomplishments. My husband and I lost our only son at age 18, so I know intimately the grief that you feel. I hope that the joys that you shared with him will continue to enrich your life. I already contribute to Oceana, but will make an additional gift in his honor.

Please allow a comment from a stranger. I noticed Alexander's beautiful face in the paper this past weekend and am drawn each morning since to see it again. What an accomplished young man, it reads that you have shared wonderful life together, albeit too short.
I pray for strength for your family and that you find yourselves surrounded by loving family and friends to help you through these days.
