Alex there is not a day goes by that I dont think of you. You are always in our hearts and souls. You would be so proud of Caroline who followed her heart and started her own business she has been written about in vogue, goop, time, and mentioned on the today show. Also named the best wedding florist in Boston. She is an amazing women.
Lindsay is about to graduate high school with high honors. She is an amazing soccer player and I know you would have loved watching her. Bryan is now 15 and also a great athlete and honor student he never met you on this earth but I am sure you sent him to us. He has your compassion and sensitivity. Also your sense of humor. We all love and miss you !
Love you
Dad

Alex,
Its been so long since i've been on here and wrote anything, but you've always been in my thoughts and in my heart. I miss you. I moved back to VA almost 4 years ago, and i now have a beautiful daughter named Hannah Elizabeth. She is almost 19months old and the happiest girl ever. :) One day when she's older i'll tell her about my friend Alex, and how special he was to me. When i'm having a bad day, i think about you, and i know you're looking out for me and it makes me smile. When i finally make it back to CT for a visit i'm gonna come see you. Love you.

Al, I saw this and just wanted to let you know that your boys still think about you man. I think after you left that we all continued to live our lives a little different knowing that it could be gone in a second. Life is moving pretty fast for most of us but I remember it like it was yesterday just chillen at Fitzy’s or playing ball, whatever it was, u were having a good time. Your red sox have won two titles and the dolphins even made it to the playoffs last year. My mom still talks about how you were such a sweet kid when she cut your hair and my step dad always enjoyed talking sports with you. Never forget the good times bro, take care of yourself, see you at some point in the future.

Anyways, I know your doing good up there and saving us all a spot with you someday. I miss you man -- I know Mickey does too-- Say what up to my man Pac for me-- Mo, Sam, Leak, JP, Natedog, Johnny Blaze -- miss all you guys-- we have to all get together before we're to damn old-- holla!

Hi My Angel, I just want you you to know that I think about you everyday I miss you love you & always will. I'm going to see Poppy in a little while and I hope you are there with him today, I know he always wanted to be close to you . Maybe you can play baseball together, or just catch. Later this afternoon, I will float some flowers out to sea and lets some ballons float up to the sky so when you see them I hope you catch one or two,& maybe you can get one for Poppy. That's what Poppy & I always did on April 11th, Be together all day & get the flowers to float & and the ballons to soar right to you in heaven. Be at peace my love and know how much you are loved & miss by all. XXXXOOOO Grandma P.S. Maybe Aunt Loren will be with me when I let the ballons fly to you. Love, Love Love

I hope you are with poppy watching baseball and maybe having a catch. Lindsay drew a picture for you today and just wants you to know that she thinks of you all the time.

Hi My Angel, I started to write to Sunday, but it got lost in space, I wanted to know if you saw your Poppy Sunday March 25th.? Because he has been up in your world for {2} months now. I want to know how you both are doing and that you see each other often, which I think you both need each other now more than you did when you both had the whole family with you . Thats not to say the family isn't with you now, because there isn't a day that goes by that we stop thinking about you both or stop loving you. That would be impossible,for us to do. Love you both always HUGS & KISSES Grandma Edna

Hi Alex, It's me your loving Grandma Edna,
today is Sunday Feb.l8,2007, I waited almost a month before I wrote to you,because I'm still not sure if you were there to help your Poppyfind his way to you,which he wanted to find you you for weeks before he left us. He kept saying I can't find our boy, and when I asked him who he would say I trying to find our Alex!! He said he wanted to be with you. I hope you were there to greet him with your wonderful hugs & kisses that we all miss so much. I.m trying to be strong, but it's getting harder for me. Not only are you not here to hug me,but now Poppy's not coming home either. Gosh I loved him so much,and miss him.you know how much I love you and always will & now Poppy too. I sure hope you are with him as much as you can be and are playing catchwith him . You both sure liked being together, well now I have two angels, one on each shoulder looking out for me. as always love hugs & kisses. Grandma .

Hey Alex,
I just wanted to let you know that I'm still thinking about you, but then again I'm sure you know that I never stop thinking about you. I miss seeing you at work, and you being your goofy self. You always made me smile, even if I was having a bad day, you always knew how to make it better. It's a nice spring day today, and I plan on coming to visit you today, it's been a while since I've went to see you and I think I need to come see you and talk to you. I miss you Alex, and you'll always be in my heart.

Hi Alex
It is April the time the Red Sox start out hot and ahead of the Yankess and you would tell this is the year and I would tell you don't
even start thinking that way until Aug. The Yankees always catch up
and you would still be excited and tell me not this year. and how you would get mad at me for rooting for the Yankees in the playoffs if the Red Sox did not make. this is the time of year you should be getting ready to play ball yourself
with Uncle Steven. I now watch the Red Sox if it was through your eyes
follwing every game every at bat and pitch as if it meant something but it does mean so much now because it was important to you
I feel that I am rooting for you
I miss and Love You Alex
I will always love you Alexander
You will always be in my heart and
soul. and part of me will always be with you.
I love You Dad

I stayed an extra day due to the storm in Florida, the airport was closed so I could see the family a little longer,I also went to East Granby to see you again. You are in my head, and heart every day and will you will always be there Love You AlwaysXXXXOOOXXX Grandma Edna

To Alex and his Family:
It's been over 2 years now since Alex's passing and not a day goes by that I don't think about him. I met Alex at Stop&Shop, where we both worked, and I knew from the first moment that I met him that we were suppose to meet and be friends. He had a heart of gold and the sweetest person you'd ever meet. He was there for me in hard times and in good times. He always made me laugh and smile when I was having a bad day. I wish I could have spent more time with Alex, to get to know him better, but I thank God for the time I did have with him. Alex was a wonderful person, and will always be in my heart. He will forever be missed. Alex I Love you babe!

Alex !
The tears are still falling
They are tears of love and loss
Sometimes I can simle at the thought
of you. I love to talk about you to others and I still talk to you everyday sometimes I wonder if you can hear me but then I know that you are always with me and the rest of your family. It's Ironic that the Red Sox are getting there World Championship rings on April 11,
and raising the world championship flag all in front of the Yankess.
So I know you will be sitting on some cloud over Fenway Park watching every moment this great day for all Red Sox fans.
I Love you Alex and we all miss you
I Love you always
Love

Alex !
The Red Sox did it they beat the Yankees in 7 games to win the ALCS
and swept the Cardinals in 4 games to win the World Series. I know that you are smiling from above .
I hope that you heard me when I was takling to you about the games
I wish that I could hear you talking back . I can picture your reaction to beating the Yankees and then winning the series .
It is time filled with mixed emotions because I could not give you a hug after the final out.Or see your face,hear your voice yelling that they did it. But I could smile knowing that you were watching and knowing what this means to you.
I love and Miss you Alex

I offer my condolences to Alex's family, he was a fine man and a pleasure to know. He will be missed.

Hey Buddy. I can still hear your giggle in my ears, I can still feel your prickly hair gel, the way you strolled into work and then somehow by the end of the day, you would have a smile on your face. You brought joy into my life, put a smile on my face. You were one funny guy, and even though I got to know you for only a short time, I'm still glad you were part of my life. I still talk to you and I hope your up there smiling down on me. Until the day we meet agian, I love you Alex. R.I.P 4-11-03

To Wendy, Caroline, and Friends,
Words cannot express the feelings everyone endured when they heard of the tragedy that occurred friday morning. The tear in our hearts was deep and painful. Alex touched so many lives in so many ways. He will for ever be in our thoughts and memories, and will never be forgotten. You're in a better place now Alex. Until I see you again in Heaven, you will continually be in my prayers. My deepest compassion to Caroline and her Family.

I can see your life fly by.
Why does it have to be so?
I have no more tears left to cry.
Why did you have to leave?
I know that you are gone now.
Parted. Separated from life.
I’ve said my goodbyes… reddened my eyes.
You’re gone now.
My remembrance, keeping me from my demise.
Bright eyes. Colorful smile. A man of 1,000 traits.
So close to us all… so close as to say; part of us.
Torn away in the prime of your life.
There is an open wound that is bleeding.
As it drains… it drains my emotions.
A simile of sorts.
I feel so drained. Of everything that I had.
I’m looking over… expecting to see you there.
I’m falling over… it’s just too much to bear.
I saw your picture the other day.
A flood of everything that was..
Crashing though the gates that are my heart.. and soul.
Expressed in tears… so much sorrow.
You move on, into tomorrow.
You’re still with me though… in my head.
You’re my friend. I’ll see you again.
I just have to bring this misery to an end.
I can’t cry any more. My well of tears has dried up.
I miss you. You’re always in my head.
I have nothing left to say. Soon we all fade away.
R.I.P. Alex. I miss you bro.
My deepest and truest condolences to all family and friends.

Alex was a fine young man,you guys did a great job raising him. I feel like he was one of my own, I have watched him and Steve grow up together and be best friends, they shared so much together. We all are going to really miss him.Here is alittle poem for Alex's family and friends.
HE IS NOT GONE
EASE YOUR GRIEF,HE IS NOT GONE
FOR IN YOUR HEART HE LINGERS ON.
HIS SMILE,HIS LAUGH,HIS SPECIAL WAY
WILL COMFORT YOU FROM DAY TO DAY.
YOU'LL FEEL HIS PRESENCE IN THE BREEZE
THAT DANCES GENTLY THROUGH THE TREES.
AND IT'S HIS FACE THAT YOU SHALL SEE
WHEN YOU'RE IN NEED OF COMPANY.
AT ANY TIME YOU CAN CALL
THE LOVE YOU SHARED...YOU SAVED IT ALL.
AND REALLY MORE THAN ANYTHING,
YOU'LL FIND PEACE IN REMEMBERING.

I Was Here
It was the spirit
that drew me in
your spirit was so fresh,
so vibrant
that it left footprints on my soul
and now I feel you
when I dream
your voice an echo
"I was here"
so please
come back anytime
I love you beautiful boy!

To everyone in the O'Donnell family
Alex was a great kid and like everyone else he was someone all by himself and unique, and there were nobody else like him. I can't remember a time that Alex wasn't having his own fun in school, or on the baseball field, or playing basketball outside his house. You don't realize you miss someone until they are really gone, and I'll always hold a place in my heart for him.....hang in there guys, you know he's in a good place.

Wendy, Scott, Mary, Loren, Arnold, Edna, Carol, Mort & family.
I wanted to express to you my heartfelt condolences. As you know from loosing my brother and dad, that this time is a time for family,as well as friends. The memories that you hold in your heart of Alex, will live on forever.
Scotty, I was able to hear of your son from Loren, as we were able to see each other here in Florida. I have also seen your mom and Arnie.
It seems like yesterday, growing up in West Hartford, Loren and I, hanging with Morty,Carole and practically living at Faxon Residence with Edna & Arnie.
I am so very sorry for your loss, to all of you and it may not seem that comforting now, but memories do help....
I hope that you all will find strength from one another and Loren, you know where I am, if you need me.
Fondly Robin Lichter Remilard

Dear Wendy and Caroline,
There are no words to truly express how sorry I am. Alex was a favorite - a "special imp" that I loved. I just saw him on Wednesday at the grocery store. The shock of hearing the news at school on Friday is still with me.
Unfortunately, I am not able to see you on Tuesday or Wednesday, but I will see you soon. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Mrs "C"
