To the Stein Family,
It was with great sadness that we learned recently of Lexi's return to heaven to be with our heavenly father. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you as you journey through this difficult time. Knowing the loss that you must feel I pray that you find the strength to learn to deal with your grief and are able to find peace in knowing that Lexi is forever healed and rejoicing with Jesus. Together they prepare for a joyful reunion with all in heaven. I know you have a wonderful supporting family but if there is ever anything I can do, please do not hesitate to call.
God Bless

Mr. & Mrs. Stein and family,
My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your daughter and sibling. I'm a friend of Brian Scanlan's here in Bethlehem, PA and knew of Lexie's illness through him. I was at the funeral Mass for Lexie's grandparents, and I admired her courage and strength participating in the Mass.
May she rest peacefully and eternally in Heaven with God and with her family who has gone before her.

Dear Brian, Kathy, and family,
Donna and I were deeply saddened to learn that you had lost your precious Lexi. You and Lexi have been an inspiration to our family during our stuggle with the illness of our John Reid. We are comforted by the knowledge that we will see them both again when we get to heaven where there will be no pain and no sorrow only peace and rejoicing. Thank you for all that you did for Reid and Stacy and John and for us as well.

Dear Kathy and Brian,
I haven't the words to tell you how sorry I am for the loss of your always graceful, beautiful daughter, Lexi. I know there is never a right time to send one of your children home to Jesus - but if it's any comfort I have every confidence Lexi is in good company and will be having nothing but good times from here on until you all meet again in heavien. So listen for her laughter as the wind blows softly through the trees. Watch for her in the sunshine and catch her grace and beauty in every blooming flower.
My love, thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.

Our family has come to know and adore Lexi and the whole Stein family through our contact at John's Hopkins. No matter how sick Lexi was, she was always worried about other people. She wanted our son John to feel better so she gave him a very special angel to keep in his hospital bed with him. When we look at that angel today it reminds us that our angels are together in heaven with God. We know your pain, Kathy and Brian. We are here for you and we love you dearly.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Lexi's family. I am truly heartbroken over the loss of Lexi. Lexi had a way about her that was beyond her years for all she had been through, and was a sweet, courageous, and wonderful child. I am truly blessed to have known Lexi, and I am a better person for having known her. All my love and prayers to Lexi's family.

We first met Lexi at Walter Reed on her first hospitalization after she was diagnosed. I often remember this time, because Lexi was very much afraid, and my son, Corey, who was going through treatment for neuroblastoma, did not want her to be afraid. He felt compelled to comfort her in some way. We walked back to his room and he picked up his "blankie," and walked down the hall to Lexi's room and handed it to her. That blankie stayed with Lexi throughout. Lexi is with Corey now.

I'll never forget the fun times that our families had during holidays and get-to-togethers. Let us never forget the "Baby Big Head" incident! Lexi always had the brightest smile and high spirits about her that you couldn't help but love. She was a blessing to the world and the world won't be the same without her, but I look at it this way: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. And I know I'm not the only one that she took breath away from. I'll miss ya Darlin!!! xoxo
