Just heard (three months late) of Alex's death. I am so sad for all in her family-- my heart goes out to you. I also am sad that her death at a young age deprives the world of a wonderful young woman. I had the pleasure of working with Alex as her tennis coach and was always thankful for her positive attitude, encouragement of her teammates, and her sense of fun. Prayers for her family and friends to find peace in good memories of Alex's life.

Alex was a friend that I met through softball. She was always kind and as helpful to me as she could be at practices. She made the days I spent at softball brighter. I´ll never forget the time we spent together, even if it wasn´t very long. You´ll forever be in my heart Alex.
