It's been nearly 15 years since I last saw you. I still cannot forget the moment I received that dreadful call. I couldn't believe you were gone and that I would never see you outside of memories.

I swore I would never forget you and I have kept my promise.

I hope you are proud of your family and friends and know we will always have you in our thoughts and our hearts!

Love you and miss you!

Hi, my sweet Lexi. Next week will be one year since you went away. We all miss you so much, but love you and always will. Stasia says you can play in her park. You have 2 new cousins - Hartleigh and Tessa. Sounds like Tessa looks a lot like you did when you were born. You have always been, are, and will always be my sweet baby girl. I love you.

Hi Baby! We've all been thinking about you so much these days. We love you and miss you. Thursday night, I will be presenting scholarships in your name to 2 SJO graduating seniors. Your headstone looks really nice. The Spartan head and megaphone in the corners are NEAT. Stasia likes to dance to the Ramones. You have probably been watching her and having a good laugh. She can even moonwalk!! I love you my sweet baby! I always will.

Hi my sweet Lexi. Just wanted to tell you that we all love you and miss you so much. It's March Madness/Coffman Cup time. I'm sure Dada has made his picks: )
You are my baby, and are always in my heart. Stasia says Hi. She says you are in Texas because that is a very special place to her! Love Mom.

Kelly, my heart hurts for you and your family. Cling close to God. Do not feel bad if you are doubting right now. God, family and your extended family will help you through. You are in our thoughts and prayers. My wife and I will be here if you need anything. I remember her as a very beautiful young girl when we were in college. I know she was your strength and life at that time. I pray for you calm days and easy nights. Do not worry as you and all those that love her will never forget her. That was my biggest fear. Unfortunately, you are now part of our frat of bereaved parents, always there for a cry, shoulder and eventually to truly learn to live again. God bless you, Kelly.
