Heidi, I am broken hearted to hear about Alex. I was looking for old friends on Facebook, and this is what I found. He was such a sweet baby and I see from all of his friends a wonderful young boy. Please call when you have a chance, it has been way too long. My prayers are with you and Tyrone and all your family. 208-908-2092

Heidi, We all feel pain from Alex leaving us but for you,it must be so much worse. It has been about 4 months since Alex's passing, but our school still wears their orange ribbons from his funeral. We all miss him dearly but I know that Alex wouldn't want you to hurt for the rest of your life and our lives because of his unfortunete death. So carry on and live your life as he is still here because people we love never really leave our sides. They walk beside us as gaurdian angels day by day...So I love you Heidi and please do as Alex would want. <333

Dearest Heidi, I never really knew Alex but the few visits I made to his room with Margie, I noticed something special about his mood,He was always upbeat when we were there, and the testamonials to his character were heartbreaking, Heidi I hope you find the comfort and peace in your time of grief, that obviously Alex had givin to others in his life.

Heidi,
It is never easy for those left behind, but when you lose someone so senslessly and unexpectly we all feel the shock. May it help to know how many people feel your sorrow and stand with you in your time of need.

Mrs. Smythe,
First let me say how deeply sorry I am for your loss. My son Cody and Alex were friends and went to Tobler together for many years. I remember Alex as being a very good kid and someone I enjoyed my son having as a friend. Alex will be missed by many people. Just know that you did a great job with your son.

Alex,

I never saw you, I never talked to you. But when you left this life, you made my baby girl cry and you made her really understand how life could end so fast... we all need to appreciate it and try to become the best we can be. So, "next time", here or in any other time or place, we all can be a better souls. You left this life time, but you made a difference in many of us. Thank you. Mrs. Melatti

Alex,
Over the summer at camp, you were always one who made everyone smile. No matter if we were sad or angry, you knew how to make people laugh. You were truly a great friend to everyone, your personality is what made you special, and your memories will be with everyone forever. All the great times everyone shared with you will be cherished and remembered. You were a great friend and will be missed and remembered by everyone.

Alex,
In your short 14 years, the impact you had on so many is priceless. You brought laughter to those around you, your smiling face, your kind heart and your love for your friends, family and especially your mom is inspiring. For those who knew you, your spirit will forever live on.

Christine, Mo and Don
