I am so sorry to hear of Alexa's passing but will always cherish memories of her friendship while we were neighbors. Alexa adored her family and enjoyed her dinners with Barbara's family especially when her grandchildren asked her to make the special 'chicken salad'!! I also remember that everyday while Laura would be either driving to work or from work she would call her mom ... always. Barbara and Laura you were wonderful daughters and she loved you beyond words. Susan, Scott, Bethany and Rachael x

Alexa was a lovely neighbor. We have missed her a lot since she moved to Texas. She was very proud of her daughters and their families and their accomplishments. Our sympathies to each of you. May your memories keep her close.
