With deepest sympathy from me and my girls.I heard about your tragedy two days ago. I remember Jr. as a very happy individual,always pleasant and respectful. A son any parent will be proud of. Dawn and Claudie be proud of of your son for what he accomplished with his stay on earth.

Dear Family and friends of Claudius- It was with great sadness that I learned today, of the passing of this wonderful, bright young man. Claudius was a friendly, congenial, outgoing, positive student, here at UConn Hartford. He will be dearly missed, and know that we share your grief at this time of great sadness. May Claudius Alexander rest in peace, and sleep the sleep of angels. God bless...

To Dawn and family two things come to mind when i think about your loss. The Lord said that "He will never leave you or forsake you but He will be with you always". The other is foot print in the sand. When we look back at the sand it represents our life. When all is well there is two sets of foot prints but went things get bad there is only one set, those are the times that God is carring you. So be strengthen by this.

To Dawn and the Alexander Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your son Claudius. There is no bond stronger then that of a parent and child. That bond is so strong it can never be broken, not even in death.
Dawn there are so many things that we share in common. Unfortunately, this is one thing that I wished we didn't.
Be Blessed Alexander Family. Weeping may endure for a night, but JOY AMEN, comes with the rise of the sun.
Respect.
