Dear Carol, Rick and Zach,
You have been in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. All of the kids and parents from Mt. Snow will miss Alex. It has been hard for everyone to lose such a wonderful friend. My son Jack will always remember skiing with him in Vermont as well as at the USASA Nationals last March. We will think of him fondly each time we ski. Our thoughts are with your family,
Sue Borland and family

Dear Carole and Rick and Zach--
I only heard about Alex from Rick's stories. Alex and my son, Josh shared dyslexia, and Rick and I shared so many nice stories and funny stories about these kids.
My heart goes out to you and all of your family and friends from my family and I.
I hope Rick, and Carol, that you guys are okay.
Hugs,

Dearest Cohn/Kaplan Family,
It is rare that a whole family, each individual, touches the life of another whole family, but you all in your own ways have done this for me and my family. As parents your undying love and support of your children have been remarkable for me and Scott to try to emulate; and, Zach, your friendship and loyalty to Alex has always inspired me to cultivate the same in my girls. We are with you in this journey as you have been with us in ours.
with love and friendship,
the steinert-evoys

I went to school with Alex and my sister and him were very good friends. The only times I socialized with Alex was when he was at our house and we would either watch something on the T.V. or play a game together. Also he would say hi to me in the hallways. I wasn't close with Alex and I am still so sad that he has passed away. He filled all of our hearts with joy and he put on a smile on the faces of everyone he passed. I hope he is skiing up in heaven. R.I.P. Alex. I am so sorry for your loss.
