I'm so sad to learn of Alexis death in the local paper. We have been faithful patrons of Dogma/Lovely Ritas and she was just the best! She always greeted us with a smile and we loved her infectious personality--including my psycho dog, Cody. We know when she recently left LR for passion to return to school, we would miss her, but wished her well on her journey! Didn't realize it would be so short! xoxo Karen, Gracie and Cody Lambert

Alexis was a wonderful, caring human being. Always with a smile and kind word. Met her through her jobs, often hearing about her goals and family trips. She loved Leo and as a dog lover, she was always so good with our dogs, especially a little guy named Elvis. We were so excited for her as she embarked on her new career. I will miss her, she was truly a lovely young woman and a genuinely nice human being. Thank you Alexis. Lyn Fields

I am so, so sorry for your loss. Alexis was easily the sweetest, most caring person I have ever known. She was the kind of person who gave other people gifts on her birthday. She was funny and kind and beautiful, and I can't believe she's gone. I keep thinking about how we were supposed to be getting together for tea soon, and how it was only a couple weeks ago that she surprised us with a visit at the shop (Lovely Rita's). This world is darker without her light in it. My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you.

I will always remember Alexis as one of the most loving women I have ever known. If you were lucky enough to be hugged by Alexis, you felt love. When Alexis listened to you, you felt heard. Her love for animals, her beautiful smile. She was one of a kind and my heart is broken.
