They say time heals all wounds. I'm not sure about that, Stephen, what you have done in Alexis's memory is life lasting and truly amazing. I always knew you were a special person. God Bless you and your Beautiful Daughter, Adriana! This asks for a remembrance. I remember Alexis's beautiful face when I met her at Roma and how the two of you made a Beautiful Couple!! God Bless you!

I cannot believe it has been almost a year since the passing of beautiful Alexis. Several years back I had the privilege of working with Alexis. Although Alexis was an absolute professional, there was also the fun and querky side to her. I, and other coworkers, would get such a kick out of her adorable, cute and very unique way of sneezing. I think of Alexis very often as well as her family. I recently heard of the passing of Steven's brother and was heartbroken again for the family. I pray for all of you to keep your strength through another time of sadness and to know that our Dear Lord is always with you. You will always be in my prayers.

I truly understand your loss and I truly feel for you and your family, as I too, had a similar loss. I know that our loving God will be there to embrace you and your family.

Steven Il never forget the first time you told me about Alexis. You said you had met a girl who is so beautiful, smart, very confident, very nice and a lot of fun. That she was perfect for you. Then you gave me the pleasure of introducing her to me. And the minute I met her, she was everything you said she was. A stunning, beautiful person inside and out. We were all blessed to have known her. May God lift your spirit and ease your pain with memories of how much you both loved each other and both spoke of one another with reverence in your eyes.
I wish the Micale family strength in enduring the loss of such a magnificent daughter.
