I was shocked and saddened to hear of Alexian's passing; I knew her, and her sister, and mother, from where I used to work.

I would like to express my sympathies to her entire family. May you be comforted in this time of loss.

Ali was the baby of our family for many years, her beautiful stories of growing up in a loving home makes it even harder to let her go, the memories of a close past are fervent in all our minds as we still hear the echoes of her voice resonating the empty walls of her room. She was an artist to all, she was a friend to many, she was a loving family member to us, she was a wife and a mother to be to one and she was my baby to me. Ali we will miss you and remember you always…. Until the day we reunite, so long… Tito.

Ali, I'll never forget all of our precious memories. At your memorial, Lidi asked if anyone wanted to go up front and share a memory of you and all I could think was which one, I have so many. Words will never explain how much of a dear friend you were to me. To Dallas and the family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Have peace in knowing Ali and Dallex are in a better place.

My heart is overwhelmed with emotion right now. Ali was a very special friend to me. No matter what kind of mood I was in when I talked to her she could always cheer me up. She had the brightest smile of anyone I know. We shared some good memories together and now I will forever cherish those memories. It is the memories that we have and the impression that she made on everyones lives that she met that will keep her alive in all of our hearts. I talked to Alexian on the phone Tuesday and I saw her Monday and told her I loved her...I am glad that I got that chance to tell her I loved her one more time. To her parents, Lidi, her brothers, Dallas, and the rest of her family I am praying for each of you that God will lay his hands on you and bless you through this time. If you need anything at all please let me know. I love you Alexian!

Melhado Family,
Words can not express the sorrow and shock this tragedy has brought to your family and many others. Alexian was a beautiful, genuine spirit and she will be missed beyond measure. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of sorrow. Know that she and her baby are in a much better place. May God keep you and may you find joy in remembering the good times, as we remember her now.

Alexian... I always loved your name. I thought about naming Victoria that... You were a special young lady and I know you would have been an awesome mom - you had a great role model in your own mother. I am so sorry that you didn't have the chance to meet your "older" niece Veronica (you only remember her as a baby). She wanted to come with Tori next summer. Elena, Alejandro Sr, Lidiann, Alex, Eddie, and Dallas - words cannot express the sadness I feel for you and your family. We were all blessed to have Alexian in our lives, if only for a short while. Alexian and Dallex, may you rest in peace and we will all see you again one day.
My love and prayers are with you all -
Deanna Davis (formerly Melhado)
