Edward Fales Alexander

Today, 11-16-09, I intuitively opened a google search for Real de Catorce and found this obit. I'm in shock. Knowing my intuition still held some kind of conection. I wish my best to Thomas Houston Alexander and Angie. I am a friend from the past.

Brigit, Mimi y Luc, nos acordamos mucho de ustedes, de los agradables ratos que pasamos en el restaurante, de las tardes en tu casa, del Thanksgiving con papas a la eslovena y tantos momentos tan bonitos. Asi es como lo recordamos, siempre van a estar en nuestros pensamientos.

Brigit, Mimi, Luc, and Thomas my heart sends you solace in your time of sorrow. Thanks for sharing with me those times in Mexico and in your home in Austin. Ed was an individualist and a true free man. I am thankful I got to meet you.

Brigit , Mimi , Luc and Thomas , let the Divine Light of the Universe and your Angel Ed , shine on you always !!
Te Abrazo Fuerte Brigit, Dios te dara la fuerza para seguir tu camino , Ed estara contigo y los ninos siempre ...
Gracias Ed por haberte conocido , Ve con Dios ....

Ed was the first person we befriended in Mexico while on sabbatical there in 2004. We are saddened by this news and send our condolences to Brigit and the children. Karen, Myke and Kayla, (Lynedoch, South Africa).

Ed was a wonderful guy and good friend -- my heart goes out to Brigit and the kids. I will miss him.

My heart is in tears. It will not be easy to get along without this dear man, whose journey will never end.

To a life richly lived, a toast of celebration. We will miss you Ed. My heartfelt condolences to your family. Vaya con Dios!

Ed, you are one of a kind! We love you!

With all the love and gratitude I can give, thank you for being with us. You and your family have touched my life and the countless lives of so many for the better and you will be well remembered and sorely missed. My heart goes out to your family and all who share this huge loss. You are a tall oak to fall.

Ed has been a dear neighbor for over 25 years. Like everyone else, I'm in shock at his passing. The road won't be the same without him, but I'm thankful for the memories over the years, and grateful that he brought Thomas, Brigit, Mimi & Luc into all our lives. So long, Neighbor...

I am still shocked and sorry to hear about Ed's passing. I only knew him for a couple of years, but he was so easy to get to know, always warm and cheerful. I give my condolences to his family knowing that they are blessed to have had him, even if just for a moment. May they find comfort in his eternal love, and knowing they now have a most powerful angel watching over them.

I am so shocked and sad to hear of Ed's passing. He truly was a really cool and loving kind of guy. I only knew him for a couple of years, but he was so easy to get to know. Always warm and cheerful. I really enjoyed his company and wish nothing but the best for his long journey into the spirit world. I wish his family much peace, and condolences. You are blessed to have had him if only for a moment, but your memories and love for him will be with you forever. May you be comforted to know you have a wonderful angel who now watches over all of you.

I am so saddened to hear about Ed and am wishing love and comfort to his family. I like to think of Dad eager to share all the new explorations with his dear friend. Clark Santos loved and cared for Ed Alexander very much.

I miss you Ed, your good humour and all the rides we had together, truck, horse, cadillac a.s.o from Austin to R14 & around. Thanks for sharing all this.

Ed has been a part of my constellation of friends for as long as I can remember. He was my parent's friend and later mine. He was my calculus tutor in college (talk about the patience of Job...) and the first person to call me after hearing that my dad died. He was one of the kindest and most generous people it has been my good fortune to know.

I met Ed over tirty years ago when I moved to Austin; he became a friend immediately. I had not seen him in 20 years, but by chance we crossed paths at party in Austin this past September. I was greeted with a smile and a warm "abrazo". The friendship had never faded. His legacy reached beyond his children, it will continue in the hearts of all who knew him.

Ed was a good friend and fun guy to be around. We caved in Mexico, Hiked in Big Bend, and generally had fun hanging out with mutual friends.

Ed and I were together for our first visit to Real de Catorce in 1972 and had interesting discussions about the community after Ed was living there in later years.

His untimely death is a loss we will not fully recover from.

We are diminished.
