Debbie and family,
I am so so sorry to hear of the tragic loss of your son. I know the pain of losing a child and it can only be understood by those who live it. Please know you are in my thoughts and that time will not mend your broken heart but it will make it easier to cope with.

I worked with Alex. Not for very long, but I would like the family know that everyone who took part in raising him did a amazing job. He was not rude or judgmental, and made me feel welcome to the DQ crew before anyone else did. He was always bright and smiling. So sorry for your loss and I hope everyone effected will find a sense of serenity during their time of pain. Some people are to good to be in this vicious world, Alex was definitely one of them.

Bill,
My heart is just broken for you and for your family. Alex was a shining star- he was the student who buoyed my spirits as I myself grieved the illness and death of my son. I will never forget his six year old hugs, you are a special family, I wish you peace and love.
