I miss you every day my friend....

I will not stand at your grave and weep,
You are not there, You do not sleep,
You are a thousand winds that blow,
You are the diamond glints on snow
You are the sunlight on ripened grain,
You are the gentle Autumn rain

When I awaken in the morning's hush,
You are the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight,
You are the soft stars that shine at night
I will not stand at your grave and cry,
You are not there, You did not die.

Sam and Deborah, words cannot even begin to express how sad we are about this loss. Our love and prayers go out to you both. There are just no words that can describe a loss so profound as yours. Still reeling from losing John, we cannot imagine the world without either of them in it. We can still remember the first time we met Alex. So full of life, strong willed and very supportive. Always so strong. Know that we are all here for you, whenever you need a shoulder to cry on and a BIG hug. We love you. Joe, Robin , Elisha and Casey Evangelisto and Zerek Lyday.

Dear Sam and Deborah, You both have our heartfelt sorrow for your loss of Alex. We love you guys and cannot imagine your grief. It is so very shocking that this could happen to any family. You guys are such good folks. We love you and will miss her at the Cafe, as we already do John.
