It is with great sadness and heavy heart that I have to bear the news

I am very sorry to hear about the death of Alex. She was a beautiful girl both inside. Her smile will be missed by her friends and family and even strangers that didn't know her.
ReplyDeleteOur lost is God's gain of His newest Angel. God Bless you Alex!
Keep dancing up there!
My god--I had no idea. Alex was such a beautiful soul. I am thankful to have been graced by her brief presence in my life and in the lives of others, too.
