Dear Family & many Friends of Xavier,

There are no mere words that can express the broken heart I have and the sorrow I have been feeling since I learned of the sudden passing of (my) nephew, Xavier, who seems to have just grown up so fast & is now gone. - There are no tomorrows I can beg and plead for to bring about more opportunities to be able to spend even just one more moment playing around with him or just sitting and talking, looking through his artwork, discussing his friends & whatever was on his mind, as it was on the very previous occasions that I was blessed to be able to spend time doing so with him. – His precious & all too short, young life will always be cherished in my heart & mind as times that my life was truly touched by a little angel. Xavier… a very special little someone who came into our lives and brought with him many cherished blessings, heart-warming eyes, smiles, laughs & loving hugs…even if only meant to be for a season. – Although (physically) so many miles apart, Xavier has always held a special place in my heart and mind…along with my remaining nieces & nephews, he has never been a blink’s-time away from each warm, loving thought & many prayers for him. – He will forever be…a precious light…a bright segment in my life that will be remembered for what a true blessing his life was for all those he came in contact with & loved. - Only our Loving Heavenly Father knows why this loss was allowed to happen at this moment in time & still I have hope & I trust that in His perfect timing & his perfect will, it will all be revealed…if not now…here, then in Heaven. – My love, thoughts & prayers go out to & for my brother, Paul & Jennifer, Pia, Jordon, Joia…& all siblings & family members (close & extended), as well as to Xavier’s friends who have all cherished him & who now struggle to find consolation, comfort, strength & peace during this so very difficult time…in the midst of this storm in our lives. – May God lift you up & carry you now, bring to remembrance beautiful memories to cherish always and (in time) the eventual comfort that will come with an amazing peace that passes all understanding. – God be with you and strengthen all of you today & as each day forward passes…& the eventually light breaks through once again. - You will be forever loved, missed & cherished in my heart, Xavier. - Farewell & be a peace until we meet again...xoxo (Romans 8:38&39; I Thessalonians 4:13-18)

With Sincere Love From My Heart & Deepest Sympathy,

My sweet, sweet baby. You are the sunshine in my world, you are the music in my ears. I will forever miss you, I wish we could have just one more talk, one more hug. You are my 1st born I remember when you were growing in my belly and how excited I was to have you. You are such an amazing young man and Heaven is getting an amazing angel!

Xavier, I love you with all of my heart. You always told me you wanted to make a change in the world, and I promise you, you did. You shared so much love with so many people and you taught so many people what the word 'acceptance' and that action of it truly means. You were...ARE amazing. I miss you so much. I wish you were still here smiling with us all, but sadly you are not. It's okay though; because in my heart, I know that you are in a happier place. My prayers and blessings to your family and other friends.
I love you bro.

Xavier. My best friend. My life support. I don't understand this abandonment. But I know wherever you may be in the Universe, you'll be my angel. My princess, forever. You were the best thing to ever come into my life. And the biggest influence and change on me as a person. May you rest in love, laughter, peace and happiness.

From the second i met you i knew we would have no trouble getting along. I feel like that is so rare for me. I am just extraordinarily grateful to have had the chance to meet and spend time with someone as amazing as you. Our conversations about greek myths, horoscopes, music, just life in general...You gave me the confidence and courage to be who I am with no apologies. I wish we could have had the chance to build more on our friendship. I will always cherish those CDs you burned me and think nothing but fond memories. Love you Xavier.

You were one of the very first friends I made when I came to Washington High School. We would sit in Freshman English or Drama class talking and laughing. You could always put a smile on my face. You will always be a dear friend to me. You are truly missed.
