For Lexi's Mom, Dad, Brother Sister all her nieces, nephews, extended family and friends ... I read that over 700 people came to calling hours Monday, I was one of those 700 and what a beautiful display of love it was. I was not in the least surprised at the site of so many to pay their respects and say goodbye to a beautiful soul and person who touched every single person that she met in some way no matter how big or small. She was such a bright light in this world. I hope that you can find comfort that her soul is at eternal peace and although missing her will never go away, I hope that when you look up into the sky day or night her bright light is forever there. Lots of love and prayers for all of you. xo

Dear Lex,
There isn't a friend of yours that wishes to have talked to you 1 day sooner...to let you know the love and support you have. Remind you of how much you mean to so many people.

You were fun, smart, driven! If there was just had one more day....maybe we wouldn't be saying good bye at all.

To the Lex's family - I cannot imagine the depth of sorrow - prayers and peace.
