Gerald and Family, I was looking for ancestors and found this. I am so shocked and so very sorry for your loss. I am the daughter of your Mother's brother, Donald Geehr. I know we lost touch many years ago, after the deaths of your parents, but I think of you and your brothers often and have always hoped you were all doing well. I know you and your family will never fully recover from this tremendous loss, but try to take some comfort from the wonderful memories you have of your Son, as that is the gift he left you. Love and prayers to you all.

Alex was a cousin to my son, Sam, who passed away two years ago. I see the resemblance. I'm sure Sam was there to greet Alex. I am deeply saddened and my heart aches for what your family is and will be going through. If you believe, the serenity prayer is your best friend as it will bring comfort and ease the pain of your terrible loss.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference.

I get signs from Sam a lot and it's brought me comfort. But it is always bittersweet, for everything and everyone who will now be in your life is there because your child isn't.

The pain never goes away, but you will learn how to live with it, because you must. Acceptance and forgiveness are so hard to do, but necessary to go on. Much love to you and your family. I'm so sorry another family has to go through this pain.

Our Dearest Alex . We loved and cared so much about you we will meet you again in heaven Rest In Peace our dearest Alex . Love Na Na and Ja Ja Haas .

Gerry and Family,
My sincere sympathies to all of you at the loss of such a young life. I know first hand what this addiction does to a family. Alex is no longer under heroin's control. May he rest in peace now.

I've know Alex via phone for years and I just talked to him a bit ago. We laughed about me knowing him and congratulating him on his progress while he filled me in on his latest adventure of working in Lancaster. He was always so polite and receptive every time he called me with help regarding his insurance. My heart breaks for him and his family. He was such a sweet young man and it was always a pleasure to talk to him. Although I never met him in person, I feel like I knew him and all I wanted was the best for him. I pray for his peace and for his family. May God bless all of you.
