Dear Alex, I hope you know how much love and joy you brought to everyone you met. I know you're in a better place now with people you love. I'll never forget the times out in my front yard that you, me, and lisa "wrestled" into the early morning hours. You were an angel in my life before, and I know now you will watch over us from above. Don't ever forget how much you are loved. You'll forever be in my heart. All my love, Lauren

Sandra,

Jim and I have been thinking of you alot during the past week. I hope you and your mother are doing well - this is such a hard time. I hope you can look back at the good memories you have of Alex, smile and remember the love you shared as a family. I, too, only met Alex once and what I recall is the love and pride you had for him. Each time I have met you, Sandra, I could see the changes that were occurring in you because of your relationship with Alex. It has made you a strong, loving woman. Take heart through this difficult time and know that there are many people you and Alex have touched. God bless you and keep you.

Dear Alex,

When Rob told me the news, I couldnt believe my ears. You were always such a close friend to Rob and even though I had only met you a few times, I knew that you would be around for awhile. I am sure that you are most happy now, being reunited with your father in heaven, telling jokes and talking about cars. I will never forget you, your wonderful personality and your unforgettable affection towards others. My prayers are with you and your family, forever and always. We love you!

Alex, You were a great friend to me and to everyone. You always had that charm that made the whole room feel warm and filled with love. I'll never forget that time when you ran into Ashley's screen door, it was soo funny, but I worried that you were alright. You've always been there if I needed advice or anything. Thanks for being such a great friend and you'll always be in my heart and prayers forever till that day we meet again. REST IN PEACE SWEET ANGEL. I LOVE YOU!!! and will NEVER forget you. Love always,

Alex was a good friend to me. He always tried helping me, telling me how to make my life better and always trying to help everyone out. He always had a smile on his face and was Kind to everyone. I know that now he is in heaven and everything I said to him in the hospital he heard. Someday I will see him. He was a great guy that always gave to people and all he wanted was to be accepted as how he was. Some people didnt notice it till now. The only thing he ever did was be nice and everyone loved him for that.

One song that really makes me think about him is Nickleback "How You Remind Me".

Love ya always Alex and I will never forget you!

Dear Alex,

I'll never forget all the good times and laughter that we shared over the years. You were not only a close friend of mine, but you were like a brother to me. I'm soo glad I got to spend the last hours of your life with you, and I kept talking to you insisting that you heard me, I know you did. It upsets me that your no longer with us anymore, but I know you're happy in a better place with your father and grandfather. I'll always remember the time you ran through my screen door, and how upset you were about it, but the good memories will live on forever in our hearts. I'm so glad you were a part of my life, you definately are a star in the sky Alex, and now I know you'll be watching over all of us. We all miss you and love you. Rest in peace and God Bless you and your family. I LOVE YOU ALEX!!

Dear Alex and Family. We will truely miss your smile and laughter, but you will always remain near and dear to our hearts. Your thoughtfulness, kindness and friendship will ALWAYS be remembered. You have always brought joy and sunshine to everyone's heart you touched. My daughter Ashley has lost a very close friend and a part of her heart, but she knows you will always be with her. I will never forget what a good friend and person you are. I will always remember the time you ran through my screen door, the look on your face, and how concerned you were it broke...When my only concern was if you were alright. I am so glad you were a part of her life, and my too. It meant so much to her to be able to stay with you in the hospital and it meant so much to me that she was able to give you a kiss for me. All Our Love Forever...Martina Hunsicker & Family

Dear Alex...I've only heard your name but my daughter Angela knew you so well. She came to me with much sadness,she spoke so highly of you and in talking with her and listening to the laughter and frienship you shared with her..I realized that she felt all the feelings of a very special friendship. She insisted on staying with you at the hospital and as she spoke to you she believed that you were listening. When we look into the heavens as the dark sky approaches, we will see that a new star has been added, that star is you Alex.......Love, Angela Hubrich & Family
