It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. (Ecclesiastes 7:2)

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. (Psalm 90:12)

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Alex Vallier.

Unbelievable!!!!! I, too, was in that same ringalevio schoolyard game in StCyrils circa 1969!!!. Alex tripped over Dave Moylan and her left leg snapped. And Fred has a great memory, as it was in fact Dick Shonebaum who was the hero.May Alex RIP!

Fred Vallier

December 1, 2013

Its been a full year since Alex has passed. We'd like to thank Paul and his twin brother Dick for allowing us to grieve through this LA TIMES Guestbook. I will never forget the time in 4th grade Alex broke her leg playing ringalevio @schoolyard and Dick Schoenbaum carried Alex to Encino hospital. A 10 yr old hero. Brother Paul stayed@hospital for many hours. This was the Cyril way. God bless Alex Vallier, Dr Dick Schoenbaum, and Detective Paul.

I just learned of Alex's passing in the Louisville Royale and was so so sorry to hear about it. Alex swept me up and befriended me at Louisville - she was a bright light and made all feel completely special who got be around her. I am so happy to have so many laughing memories with her- she really had such an infectious laugh. I wish peace to all of her family and community. So young to go from this place. I wish her profound peace.

Oh Alex! What happened? Your light was way too bright to be extinguished this early. My heart is so heavy and sad with this news... Will never forget our early years; so much of who we all became was formed then and together. Just a couple of blocks away - we could be at each other's house in five minutes. Your Mom, the boxers, your cute brother, the scavenger hunts, spin the bottle at Katie's, Wizard of Oz - on and on. SO many memories now flooding my mind; things I hadn't thought of in years. Thank you for all of it...

Sharon Roesser

January 5, 2013

It was such a special day for me when you wrote last summer. How I loved your Mom. Thinking of you brngs back memories of the surprise b-day party you and Cleo planned with us, your Mom's bridge playing friends- balloons, See's and a delicious lunch. The cat rescue from the HUGE tree where the cat had been chased and was left crying for a couple of days till you brought your extention ladder- ran up and climbed higher with bacon lured the poor thing down. You departed as quickly as you had arrived. You left many happy memories on Valley Vista.

Dana Rio

January 1, 2013

To my dear Alex. Since the 2nd grade we were the best of friends to the very end. I miss your smile, your laugh and the way that we always accepted one another for our faults. To my daughter Ashley, you were like an aunt and there will not be a day that goes by that you will not be terribly missed and thought of. You will forever be in our hearts.

Nancy Ellias

Alex,
Stunning but never aloof. Silly but never dumb. Even a mouth full of braces couldn't dull your smile. And those glistening, piercing eyes. You helped this young teenage boy see that pretty girls CAN be nice.
Miss you much,

Alex, Ive been trying to find you all summer as we head up our 40th Saint Cyrils Reunion. I never heard back from anyone! What did you go and leave us for??? I was looking for you to help with our reunion!! Word is out to all of our classmates that are on facebook and EVERYONE is just devastated with this news! I cant find a soul to talk to. I have to admit that I shed quite a few tears hearing this news and picturing that huge smile of yours! I ended up getting a boxer and think of you quite often. Now, as I write my donation checks to LA Boxer Rescue, its in memory of you! Now I am motivated to tell everyone that love them instead of being embarrassed. Every guy in our class had a crush on you! Bruce even named his daughter with you in mind! I am so so bummed! Hopefully you're on that playground in the sky with Gino and Brain. God, I hope thats how it ends!

Teresa Holland

December 2, 2012

As my best friend of 40 years, we shared so many funny experiences! I will never forget her contagious laugh, her bright smile, her sparkly eyes and her love for life. Alex, I will always love you and will keep your memory in my heart. Love, Toto
