Memories and Condolences

I worked under Ms. Alexander's leadership when I worked at Nye Elementary sometime around 1995-1997. I had been thinking about her, and decided to look for her. I was saddened to hear about her passing. Great administrators are few and far in-between---and Ms. Alexander was one of the finest that I had the honor of working with because she was fair, wise and professional. I realize that she passed in 2020 (same year as my mom), but I still feel the need to pay respects and send prayers to her family.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Although I didnt have the privilege of knowing Julia, I so enjoyed reading about her in the April 26 edition of the San Diego Union Tribune. I love her infectious smile.
For us spread across the country, we watch the nightly news and see the daunting numbers of people who have passed from Covid-19. But we dont see their names or faces. We dont get to know who they really are. Clearly, Julia is so much more than a statistic: she was an accomplished schoolteacher and administrator, spouse, sister, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, friend and colleague, deeply loved and missed by so many.
I was particularly moved by the lovely messages from so many of her former students. I will forever be grateful to the handful of those teachers in elementary and junior high that truly changed my life and enhanced my love for learning. Julia was one of those special ones.
I am profoundly sad for the loss of your Julia and the cumulative, crushing loss of so many others who have died from this disease. May you find some comfort in knowing the love you have for Julia and her love for you cannot be taken away, and that love will endure and always be there for and with you all. Please also know there are so many of us who feel your pain and deeply care about your healing and wellbeing. Blessings to you all.

I send prayers to the family first. I was so sad when heard the news Mrs. Alexander was a wonderful teacher. I had her as my 6th grade English teacher and home room. I had so much fun and learned alot from her, she will forever be in my heart.

Best teacher EVER! You were my 6th grade teacher (1991). It was apparent that you loved what you did. You gave us the freedom to be creative and explore. I'm devastated to hear you transitioned, but am so thankful I got to cross paths with you. My condolences to your family and friends. Such a gem.

On behalf of the pastor and members of the Christian Fellowship Congregational Church of San Diego, United Church of Christ, I wish to express me sincerest and deepest condolences to the family. Julia was a very active and faithful member of our congregation for many years. I have fond memories singing with her in our church choir. Although no words of sympathy can ease the loss you bear, I hope you find comfort knowing that the Christian Fellowship family, truly care.

Julia was a kind and supportive vice-principal at Nye Elementary, where I still teach today. I admired the spirit in which she lived her life, always smiling. My condolences to her children and grandchildren. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
