My heart and prayers go out to all who knew Alex for the short time that he was with us on this earth.
My heart breaks for the girlfriend (Joanna) that was left behind to try and figure out why and how this could happen to someone so close to her. Joanna know that you can call me at any time to just talk or come over if you need company.
