Dear Patty and Joe,
We are heartbroken for you over the loss of Alex.  Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers at this tragic time in your life.  
Oddly enough, I emptied a dresser last week and found various years of Resurrection class pictures and the little autograph dog from the boys 8th grade graduation party.  Finding these brought back many wonderful memories of our kids and school and the basketball games.  
Our hearts ache for you all.  God bless you.

Alex was such a delight to get to know. I had him in several of my classes at CVHS especially Computer Maintenance where he did a wonderful job everyday. He worked hard and took pride in his work. His energy and enthusiasm for technology was wonderful to see. He could take a computer apart and rebuild it very quickly and skillfully. He was so sweet and respectful. I send my sincere sympathy to your whole family at this sad time. He will be missed.

Patti, Joe, and Angela,
No words can express the sadness I feel for your family.  I will always remember Alex’s energy and smile when I first met him when he was five or six years old at Lil’s.  I hope you can find some peace knowing he will rest easy in heaven with that same energy serving our Lord from above.

God promises that that by means of a resurrection we will soon welcome our loved ones back – happy and healthy. (Revelation 21:3,4) May this promise also give you hope and strength during this extremely difficult time.
