My heart broke when I heard about the loss of my good friend and honorary little sister Alexandra. I'll always remember how funny she was. She always had the abiltily to make me laugh no matter what. She was also one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I'll always remember the days we spent together as teenagers, spending late nights around the vent at Potomac and listening to music - mainly Sublime (her favorite back in the day.)I am so sorry for the great loss that Jeremy, Maria and Brad have suffered. I am keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. She was truly a one-of-a-kind, special person and the world is a darker place without her. I sure am going to miss her.Sincerest regrets,Rusty Martin
