Alex,
I’m reading this and seeing this for the first time. I’m so devastated for you, and your family. I had no idea. My heart is heavy as I cannot imagine what you are going through.
It’s over a year now, so I’m unsure if you still receive comments.
Please know that I will always keep you and Alex in my prayers. I am so very sorry.

(I remember you bringing him into the office all the time when he was little. You “allowed” me to give him candy. Such a sweet boy.
