My sweet Alex. I think of you everyday. I will miss my private weather reports, my updates on the Yankees, and someone always asking me if they could comb my hair. Your passion for your beloved Yankee's rivled my love for my beloved Lakers and I appreciated that in you. My heart will never be the same since you have gone... Rest Sweet Alex!

It was an honor to watch Alex grow up into a wonderful young man. I'll miss his smiling face, welcoming attitude and great sense of humor - not to mention the weather reports and Yankee scores!
