"Hi Alex..thinking of you as usual.. Fealt the need to write & express my feelings..I am so proud as a mother to look into Treys eyes every morning & see your clone! He is Alex Jr all day!!! As far as you looking down and being PROUD of anyone, I am hoping it is me as a mother that has made you proud.. In my heart of hearts I dont think you could possibly be happy with how things have turned out with your own family. For someone to say they can only "forgive so much" as if they have anything to forgive is beyond me! I am the person who put a headstone at your grave without 1 drop of help from the people who promised they would help!! I did that because of my love for you!! But I know you see that from above!! You will always be a part of my life..Until my last breath! How I wish you were here till this day and things were different!! Thank you for our son!!!"

"Alex, 6 and 1/2 years and Im lucky enough to still be able to write you through a memorial guestbook.. I think of you often!! It does get easier, but you never forget!! Trey just finished his 3rd year of baseball..The first practice I took him to, I called my sister crying!! There was all boys with their fathers and not one mom..As I sat there in the car, I thought to myself..Life isnt always fair!! And I get frustrated by the fact that I have Nobody!! Except my family!! BUt I believe I have made you proud!! I believe our son has made you proud!! I know you would have been a great dad, watching him play baseball..Helping him with sports etc.. Im saddened you were taken from us!! He is a ladies man, our Trey!! I miss you!!"

"Happy Birthday...Miss you."

"Hey Al, 5 years already. Now you have your mom up there with you to help keep you compsny. I know that you all are watching out for Jeremy and the kids considering you know what has been going on for these last few years. I know you have been watching. We love you and miss you. Olivia is great and she misses you a lot. She is so beautiful and just getting so grown up by the day. But we do our best to keep you in her heart and mind. We are truly sorry for not seeing your lil man we can only be so forgiving and hopefully he knows our door is ALWAYS open to him. Kendra really needs you by her side right now. She needs her Uncle Buddy. She was told in a heartleass way about Norms and is heartbroken. I hope we are making you proud of us up there. Again we love you and miss you so much."

"ALEX~ TOMORROW NIGHT IS NEW YEARS EVE AND IT WAS 5 YEARS AGO THAT NIGHT THAT I CAME HOME FROM BEING OUT WHILE YOU WERE HOME NOT FEELING WELL..I WILL NEVER FORGET. I WALKED HOME AS SOON AS THE BALL DROPPED AND THERE YOU WERE SITTING ON THE PORCH BECAUSE YOU STILL HADNT BEEN FEELING ALL THAT WELL. YOU WERE TAKING ANTIBIOTICS FOR BRONCHITIS. ITS LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY. EVERY MEMORY FROM THE MINUTE I HIT CLINTON AVE AND SAW YOU ON THE PORCH UNTIL YOU CALLED ME FROM YOUR CELL AND TOLD ME "IM NOT GOING TO MAKE IT" THE NEXT AFTERNOON FROM THE HOSPITAL.. IS ALL SO CLEAR.. STEP BY STEP IT REPLAYS IN MY MIND. I HAVE NOT HAD ONE GOOD NEW YEARS YET. I AM HOPING YOU CAN GUIDE ME TO THE BEGINNING OF 2009 AND HELP ME START IT OFF HAPPY THIS YEAR. IM TIRED OF REGRETTING THE WAY JANUARY 1ST BEGAN.. AND ON JANUARY 5TH OUR SON WILL BE 8.. WOW, TIME DOES FLY... I HOPE YOU ARE PROUD OF ME IN HOW I HAVE RAISED TREY.. WATCH OVER YOUR MOTHER. SHE IS NOT DOING TO WELL AND I WORRY FOR HER ALSO.. I WILL WRITE YOU AGAIN ON THE FIRST!!! IN MY HEART ALWAYS...JUNE"

"Hey Alex, Summer has ended..It is now October 1st. Where has the time gone? Trey is now in 2nd grade. He was quite the fresh one for me lastnight..but i maintained my cool and zoned him out.. He actually is a great kid. Im doing the best I can for being mommy and daddy.. Unfortunately you have no family involved with him. It is what it is though. Anyway, i think of you all the time. I always will with your little clone running around here. He is a little social bug like you were.. Well as I end this I am blowing you a kiss to heaven.. Keep me safe and guide me in the right direction. after all isnt that a guardian angels job? LOVE YOU!!!! xoxoxoxoxo JUNE"

"HEY aLEX.. ITS MEMORIAL DAY.. HOW COULD I GO SO LONG WITHOUT WRITING YOU? IT SURE DOESNT MEAN I DONT THINK OF YOU. THERE ISNT ONE PERSON WHO KNEW YOU AND SEE'S YOUR SON AND SAYS MY GOD.. HE IS ALL HIS FATHER.. LUCKY BOY HE DOES LOOK JUST LIKE YOU!! ESPECIALLY NOW THAT HE IS GETTING OLDER. HE IS PLAYING BASEBALL NOW. LOVES IT!! IT IS HIS FIRST YEAR AND I WILL TELL YOU, HE IS GREAT AT IT!! GUESS WHAT.. YANKEES FAN WE GOT OURSELF HERE... HE SAYS HE REMEMBERS YOU WEARING THE HAT, SO HE HAS BEEN BRAINWASHED SINCE 3 YEARS OLD IM OK WITH THAT.. ALTHOUGH, I LIKE THE RED SOX.. I UNDERSTAND HIS REASONING!!! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS UP WITH HIS TEETH? GROWING BACK SOME FUNNY.. HE IS ADORABLE THOUGH!! ALL YOU BABY!! HOPE YOU ARE OK WITH WHAT TYPE OF MOTHER I HAVE BECOME TO OUR SON. I AM FAR FROM PERFECT BUT I TRY TO DO THE BEST I CAN.. IM SIGNING OFF.. THINKING OF YOU.. BLOWING YOU A KISS AS I END THIS!! I HOPE YOU CATCH IT!!! XOXOX"

"hey uncle alex! can't believe it has been 4 year already. it seems like just yesterday you where making fun of the way i did something...lol...i miss that but i think my dads got that covered. we meaning my mom and dad always think about you and how you made us laugh...i still have that teddy bear you gave me when i was younger. i will cheerish is for the rest of my life. i will alway miss you.hope to see you in the after life when my time comes. Love you Alexis aka Lexy"

"4 years ago today Al..I cant believe it.. I know what a great father you would have been.. I am not myself today... I wasnt lastnight either.. I have spent all day crying... what is wrong with me?? We miss you!!! Why, why, Why???"

"LIFE IS LIKE A ROLLER COASTER BABE.. THEY SAY EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON..WHAT IS THAT REASON?? TREY HAS LOST 4 TEETH SO FAR.. THE 5TH ONE IS HANGING BIG TIME.. LOOKS LIKE BY CHRISTMAS HE WILL BE SINGING, ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS MY 2 FRONT TEETH..I WISH YOU WERE HERE TO SEE THE BIG SMILE HE HAS LIKE YOURS.. ANYWAY, ITS THE HOLIDAYS AND I HAVE HAD NO GOOD LUCK IN MY LIFE.. EXCEPT MY 2 WONDERFUL CHILDREN WHY DO I NOT DREAM OF YOU?? DO YOU HAVE A ANSWER FOR ME?? COME TO ME AND TELL ME.. MUAH!!"

"Hey Alex.. HAPPY EASTER!!! Thought of you this morning .. Think of you alot lately.. Your son told me today he wants our family to be called the ALEX family.. I should be going to the grave more.. I dont know what my problem is lately. I dont mind when my times up.. I know you are waiting for me.. Love Ya Always.. JUNE"

"Hi Al... Just me..The pain in the butt who keeps writing you letters as if you are here to read them.. Boy, I hope you can.. Are you watching down on our son Trey?? Were you there with him in the emergency room with his first set of stitches last month?? Im telling you.. I was more dramatic and frantic then he was. He layed there as if you were holding his hand and guiding him through the "ordeal". The doctors said he was the best patient of the day. How bout when his wound re-opened?? I think you gave me strength that time.. It was just a week later. I did surprisingly well.. Then our sons 1st and 2nd tooth came out the following week.. Is this just the beginning of whats in store?? Well, Im going to treasure all the times I have with him. Wether good, bad, or scary.. Just be there with us no matter what!! I will apologize for the choices I have made with my life. I have regrets and often ask myself how much more can I be a glutten for punishment? Maybe you can guide you know who down a better path... I am sorry! I often wonder how would my life be??Would we be married? Would you still be a cook?? Would your mother live here still?? Oh, I could ask 50 what ifs.. But one thing I do know is you would have been a GREAT dad who shows your son the LOVE he needs in his life from his father... I LOVE YOU.. If only I could turn back the hands of time.. Yours Truly.."

"Hey Al.. 3 years today.. I want you to know I have been thinking about you alot.. Especially lastnight.. I rehearsed everything over and over in my head from 3 years ago... At the strike of midnight. .YOU ARE WHO I THOUGHT ABOUT.. Until we meet again.. I will always love you.."

"Hi ALEX.. IM HERE AND YOU ARE THERE.. WHY IS LIFE SO UNFAIR? I MISS YOU TERRIBLY!!! I REMEMBER THE FEELING OF YOUR SKIN ON YOUR ARMS.. SO SMOOTH. YOU HAD NO HAIR ON THEM. I REMEMBER YOUR NICE TEETH. I REMEMBER HOW YOU WOULD NEVER WEAR SHORTS TO WORK AT THE 4TH BECAUSE YOU DIDNT LIKE HOW CERTAIN PARTS OF YOUR LEGS HAD NO HAIR ON THEM AND CERTAIN PARTS DID. YET, YOU HAD THE CUTEST LEGS.. I REMEMBER HOW SMOOTH YOUR HANDS WERE. HOW YOU ALWAYS KEPT THEM WELL MANICURED.. HAHA YOUR LITTLE PATCH OF CHIN HAIR AND GOATEE I LOVED.. YOU'D SHAVE IT OFF WHEN WE ARGUED TO MAKE ME MAD. I REMEMBER THE SILLY WASTED ARGUMENTS BUT I ALSO REMEMBER THE FUN TIMES. OUR TRIPS TOGETHER AT JAI ALAI. OUR RIDES TO COLT STATE PARK TOGETHER JUST HANGING OUT HAVING LUNCH LISTENING TO THE RADIO. I LOVE YOU.. BOTTOM LINE..HERE OR THERE .. I LOVE YOU!!!"

"Hey Al, I wish you were here!!!! There is so much I want to talk to you about. You have no idea how I feel. You were so good to Trey. He misses you alot! I wish you were here to love him the way I would like for him to be loved. I will always love you!! In my heart that place will never be filled."

"Hey Alex.. Dropping by another.."thinking of you" letter. I wish you were here.! In September our son will be going to kindergarten.. It seems like time is going by so quickly. I hope you are following on this journey with us. Are you spending any time with my father? I miss him also. Tell him "BUG" says hi and I love him. I hope he is happy. Anyway, we talk to Olivia every week. Trey is so happy about that and I am sure that is what you would want. If only your brother Jay could come around and want to be a part of his life also. I cant understand how they dont understand Trey is the innocent one who lost you, and your mom in N.Carolina with Berto, Louise, Tyler and baby. Then Olivia.. And all he had left here was Jay, Tracey, Kendra and marquis but they dont want to be bothered. Maybe you can send them down the right path. Go to Jay in a dream and tell him what would make you happy from above. Anyway, We love you. We miss you.. We wish you were here.. <3JUNE"

"Hey Alex.. I just want to drop you by a hello.. Let you know I am thinking about you. My mom saw Olivia in Shaws with Emily and talked to her. She called me crying. She was so happy to see her. Anyway that night Olivia ended up calling Trey. He was so happy. It was the first time they talked in 2 years. WE MISS YOU!!!!! I think of you often. I remember the way you made me laugh. I hope you know you took a piece of my heart with you. It will be with you forever!"

"I sorry to hear about Alex. I had went to Thompson Middle school with him. At this time I was Ronda Perry."

"Hi Al.. All I can say is I miss you alot!!!!! Youve been jumping in my thoughts constantly lately.. Trey and Kayla miss you also. I hope you and my dad are up there hanging out. Please tell him how much I love him and we all miss him also. I hope he is watching down on us with you.... All My LOVE to you!!!! June"

"Hey Al.. TOmorrow will be 2 years.. Days like Christmas and today I think of you so much. I rehearse in my head over and over our last moments together. I miss you terribly. Just because my life continues on and I am married doesnt mean you are not constantly in my thoughts. Come to me in my dreams. Its been 2 years and I have yet to dream that long awaited dream of you. I want to talk to you. I want to feel just for a moment that you are still here. Trey will be 5 in a week. Can you believe it?? I know you would have been that loving father he needs in his life. We miss you... Very Much ... Love june"

"Hey "BIG AL", just reminiscing about all the good times we've shared together-can't believe its been 2 years already,we all miss you. You did a good job installing the system in my ride-although your heart stopped beating-your beat lives on with me and oh yeah, Ive left the lights on for you, bro. I think we'll make this a very good New year, cause the drinks are on you-cheers!!!"

"Dear Al, So I am getting married in 2 1/2 weeks and I guess there is a big part of me that can't let go of you. I think of you so often and wish you were here, especially for Trey. He loves you so much. He came in the room the other day and said "mommy, my daddy was so nice" I miss him. Then right after that he doodled on a piece of paper and said do you know what that says? and I said no, what? he said its a letter to my daddy telling him I love him. Trey was just turning 3 when you passed away. I will never let him forget you. Your mother told me Olivia has written her 2 letters and said how much she misses you. Im glad we got to spend alot of quality time with her before you passed. And you have my word that when she is old enough to understand I will get a hold of her and remind her of all the good times and show her pictures of her life with us, and you for 3 1/2 yrs. I miss you so much. Please know you are constantly on my mind. You still have a piece of my heart."

"HI THERE AL, I WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU ARE SHOWING MY DAD THE ROPES UP THERE. FOR SOME REASON THE ONLY SECURITY I FEALT WITH HIS PASSING WAS THE FACT THAT I TALKED TO YOU AND ASKED YOU TO TAKE CARE OF HIM. I KNOW YOU ARE. YOU TURNED 33 ON FRIDAY. IT WAS A HARD DAY FOR ME. DID YOU WATCH KAYLA AND TREY SIT DOWN AND WRITE YOU A LETTER? I HOPE FROM ABOVE YOU WERE OVER THEIR SHOULDERS READING WHAT THEY WROTE. THEY BOTH AS WELL AS I MISS YOU DEARLY. I'D GIVE ANYTHING TO HAVE YOU BACK WITH US AGAIN. PLEASE KNOW THAT NO MATTER WHAT, MY LOVE FOR YOU WILL NEVER DIE!!! I MISS YOU!!! JUNE"

"Hey AL... I wish I could put in words how I feel...Please watch over everyone... I miss you... Happy Birthday"

"Hey Al Me again...Mom misses you too, and wishes she could be there to visit... So Happy Birthday from her too"

"My prayers and thoughts are with your family,You are greatly missed."

"Dearest Alex. This Sunday is Fathers Day and it hurts me that Trey not only lost his father but has no family here at all on your behalf. Hes adorable. I often look at him and think if you were here how much he would be obsessed with his "daddy". I definately dont need to keep your memory alive because Trey remembers everything and talks about you daily. He is looking more and more like you everyday. I need you to know I wish you were here. My heart still aches. ILOVEYOU!!!!!"

"ALex, PLEASE TAKE CARE OF CATHY!!!! Dont laugh at us too much down here. I still love you with all my heart!!!!"

"Dear Alex.. Its February 11th 2005. Here I am in my room looking at the colage I made for your wake with all the pictures of you in it. I stand there in a daze and look at each one and picture us back in that moment. I remember how funny you were. I always thought I was the one cracking everyone up but you were the entertainer out of the two of us. Its too bad we didnt realize before how short our time together was. If we did we would of done things so differently. I know there are things I would of never said to you that I will always regret. I know I am seeing Stefan but it doesnt fill the hole in my heart. I sometimes drift into another world with you in it even when me and him are together. I remember things we did or places weve been. I wish you didnt waste 7 days a week working and had a chance to do more for yourself. Trey still talks about you. I hurt for him everyday. You were the world to him. Even as a angel you still are. I remember the card you gave me in the hospital when we had him. Telling me how thankful you were for being the mother of his son. You were so proud to have a little boy. Anyway.. I could go on and on like my love for you will but I will end it here. Nobody or nothing will ever replace or take away the pain I feel when I think of you not being here. Through my heart and the eyes of our son Trey, you are forever in my heart and soul. Always yours, JUNE"

"Dear Alex, Again I am writing you. Its been 11 months today and I still think of you so often. I wonder where the time has gone. There are alot of things going on in my life and if what they say is true, I am sure you are right here with me and know about it all. Does it make me a bad person to care about someone now that your gone? Are there rules to what I am supposed to be doing here while your in heaven?? I dont know. I am just following my heart. There are ALOT of haters around "us" but they have no right to judge because they have never had to walk in my shoes. And I hope they never do. My love for you has not changed. I wish you were here with us all. I see you in your sons eyes everyday. Not even 4 years old and still talking about things you did with him. But you know, RIGHT? I know Christmas morning will break my heart watching him without you there get so excited about opening up his gifts. Be with me always!!! I will always have that sense of security thinking you are here with me. Still, no matter what.. forever yours. I love you..."

"DEAR ALEX, ITS BEEN 10 MONTHS TODAY. YESTERDAY WAS HALLOWEEN AND TREY ASKED ME THIS MORNING IF YOU WENT TRICK OR TREATING WITH US. I TOLD HIM YOU WERE THERE AND YOU HELPED HIM RING ALL THE DOORBELLS. HE ASKED IF YOUR EATING CANDY IN HEAVEN AND I TOLD HIM.. MOST DEFINATELY YOU ARE!!!! WE MISS YOU SO MUCH. I HOPE YOU REALLY ARE WITH US. YOU MUST SEE WHATS GOING ON IN MY OWN LIFE AND HOPEFULLY APPROVE. I DONT KNOW WHATS RIGHT OR WRONG AND WHOS TO SAY?? YOU ARE STILL MY HEART AND WILL ALWAYS BE. I THINK OF YOU CONSTANTLY AND WONDER HOW I WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THESE HOLIDAYS AHEAD. I HOPE I FEEL YOUR PRESENCE AND IT CAN GIVE ME A SENSE OF COMFORT. NOT A DAY HAS GONE BY THAT I DONT THINK OF YOU. I AM SO GLAD YOU KNEW HOW MUCH I LOVED YOU.. PLEASE KNOW I ALWAYS WILL.. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS IN MY LIFE!!! ALWAYS~N~FOREVER YOURS!!!!!! JUNE"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!!! 32 DID YOU HEAR ME AND TREY THIS MORNING SING HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU? HE LOOKED UP AND BLEW YOU KISSES AFTER HE WAS DONE..HE TOLD EVERYONE IT WAS HIS DADDYS BIRTHDAY TODAY. I HOPE YOU HEARD US.. WE MISS YOU TERRIBLY!!!!! MY HEART HURTS LIKE NEVER BEFORE. I WENT TO FOXWOODS IN HONOR OF YOU. WE HIT THE BUFFET. I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT IS WHAT YOU LOVED TO DO THE BEST. AND GUESS WHAT? WE LOST LIKE YOU DO TOO..:0 I HOPE YOU HEARD ME STANDING OVER YOUR GRAVE SPEAKING TO YOU TODAY. I LOVE YOU STILL SO MUCH. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE. XOXOXO32XOXOXOXO"

"Dearest Alex, Its been 7 months since Ive seen you and It has been getting harder and harder as the months go on. Thoughts of you pop in my head all of the time. At a red light, taking orders at the diner, having dinner, going for a walk, and especially looking in our sons eyes. I wake up thinking of you and go to bed wishing Id dream of you. All seems well on the surface but my heart is unrepairable. Its so empty and I miss everything about you. Just the feel of your hand in mine would make me so happy but I know Reality and that isnt going to happen. Im trying to be the best mother I could possibly be and cherish all of the little things.. Your son loves you so much and talks about you daily as if your here. Remain my guardian angel. Ill FOREVER love you..... You own my heart.... Always. JUNE"

"DEAREST ALEX, TODAY IS FATHERS DAY AND I DONT KNOW IF I EVER GOT THE CHANCE TO TELL YOU THAT I THOUGHT YOU WERE A WONDERFUL FATHER TO BOTH OF YOUR CHILDREN. TREY MISSES YOU MORE THEN I COULD EVER EXPLAIN. I AM GLAD HE DOESNT KNOW WHAT FATHERS DAY IS YET BUT HE KNOWS YOUR OUR ANGEL AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL BE WATCHING US WHEN I VISIT YOUR GRAVE TODAY. I HATE THINGS LIKE THIS. MY LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME BUT I HAVE OUR WONDERFUL SON TO ALWAYS KEEP YOUR NAME AND MEMORY ALIVE. YOU ARE IN MY HEART TODAY, YOU WERE IN MY HEART YESTERDAY, THE DAY BEFORE AND FOREVER YOU WILL BE FROM THIS DAY ON. I LOVE YOU. YOUR SON LOVES YOU. WE MISS YOU AND I AM NO MATTER WHAT FOREVER YOURS UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN. HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!! MY LOVE, JUNE"

"Hi Honey, Its June 13th. I spent my 30th Birthday without you but everyone made it a special one for me. I refused to have a cake because the only wish I have will never come true and that is for you to be here with us. Trey is getting so big and he talks about you more now then ever. At night he looks up to the ceiling and sends hugs and kisses. I lay in bed and wonder if you see him. Everyone says dont worry you do but I wish I knew for sure. I talk to you all the time. I hope you believe everything I say. I truly doubt this hole in my heart is repairable. I look at your pictures every night and still cant believe that you are no longer here. I hate nighttime so much. Id give anything to have you back. If anything has come out of this at all, its that I had no choice but to become a stronger and smarter person. I will no longer take the littlest things for granted because when you no longer have them you realize they werent so little at all. I wish I didnt take the 4 years I had with you for granted. I realize now what our love meant to me. Well, I guess I will end this here until I write again. I love you so much!!! June"

"Hi Baby, Month 5 is right around the corner and it seems as if things are getting harder for me. The nights alone are the worst. I sit here while our son is sleeping and wish my mind would stop going non-stop. I rethink and rethink things over and over in my head. I picture you in all different situations. I miss you so much. I dont know why Ive been given this hand to be dealt but I hate it so much without you. It doesnt seem to be getting any easier. I hope you can hear my thoughts because your in them constantly. I miss you more then words can express and I love you more then I ever imagined I could love someone. Still Forever yours, JUNE"

"Hi my Love.. Its Sunday, May 2nd and our son is fast asleep. Me on the other hand, I sit here and spend my last hrs awake every night with thoughts of you constantly running through my head. I still look at pictures of you and say to myself it cant be true. How does something like this happen to someone like me? Its too quiet around here and all my mind does is go non-stop. I cant stand the reality that your never coming home to us. Trey talks about you all of the time. I know your watching down on him. Thank you so much for him. Hes beautiful. My heart is empty and its a void that will never be able to be filled. I love you more then anyone could ever imagine. I know because I hurt so bad!!!!! Stay with me forever!! Please.. Until my last breathe.. I love you!!!"

"Hi Al. Here I am again writing you. It seems silly that I do this but its my way of letting my feelings out. Another quiet night at home with our son and all I do is think about you. I cant say enough how empty I feel. Sometimes I close my eyes and picture your arms around me and what I would give just to have that feeling for 1 minute. I thank god every day that I got to tell you how much I love you the day you left me. This hurt is a hurt I cant describe with words. Your on my mind around the clock and the love I have for you is embedded throughout my heart. Knowing you loved me is the best thing thats ever happened in my life along with the children. Well, my love.. I miss you so much!!!! Forever Yours, JUNE"

"Hi ALex, Its me. Its April 4th. Your guidance got me through the 3rd month. Its been hard on me. Today I walked Goat Island and all I did was picture you there fishing. And Trey talked about you the whole time. Its lonely without you. I spend alot of time remembering all the fun we had together. Im so empty and lost without you. I will love you until the day I die!!! You own my heart!!! June"

"Hi Baby.... I want you to know I miss you terribly..Our son and Kayla are the ones motivating me to get up every morning..I think of you around the clock and my life is no longer the same since you have left. I know if you had a choice you would be right here with me and the kids. I am empty and lost but I know you must be sending me some strength. I hope your happy with everything the family has done in your honor. I cant tell you enough how much I love you!!!! I miss you!!! And I know one day we will meet again... Until then be by my side always and guide me down the right road. I will do my best as a mother to make you proud. Trey will never forget you or the memories.. Again I love you... Forever in my heart, you will be.. June"

"Dear June and family, I didn't know Alex, but from what I head he was a wonderful man and father. I just wanted to send you my love and prayers. I know how hard it is-- I just lost my fiancee on January 23. So when I prey to him I ask him to watch over your family and ask him if he knows Alex up there. I'm sure he does they were about the same age so I bet their hanging out causing trouble together. Again I'm so sorry for your loss and I'm preying for you all ecspecially June and her children."

"Just wanted to send our love and prays to the family. We miss you all and we are truly sorry about your lose. Love DKQ"

"Hi Alex, I remember meeting you through my nephew Chris Morris. You were a very nice person and always very fun-loving. I remember the time I asked you about bringing me some Lumpia and you brought me a big bag - they were delicious. I also remember the time you took us to Colt State Park, it was very beautiful there. Chris' sister Kim was with us. We are going to miss you very much. Condolences to all your family. Love, Phil & Fran Young"

"Dear June, We would like to express our deepest sorrow to you and the children.

"Alex, At one time we were as close as brothers and managed to keep that bond even for many years after I left. I sit here in disbelief and sadness, at the thought that I will never have the opportuinity see you again. I can smile from the memories I have of you. Thank you for being my friend, and for making me laugh. your Friends Chris and Kim Morris"

"Cruz Family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. All we can really do is think back to the good ole times with Alex, he was a great friend to both of my brothers Chris and David. He definitely would make you smile or laugh while doing something comical. Thinking good thoughts definitely helps with the healing process. June I am very sorry for your loss as well, even though we've never met, I can't help but feel the utmost sympathy for you and your child. You will be greatly missed Alex."

"You will never be gone or forgotten because we know you always be here in spirit June, No words or expressions can take away your pain..and nothing anyone says will make it be ok..but I know you are strong and you'll get through this..and just remember now you have Alex to guide the way If there is anything I can do please let me know.. Take Care"

I thank you so much for the precious gift of our son and I am also happy that I got to share in being a part of Olivias life. My vow to you is that your children will know especially Olivia how good of a father you are and how much you love them both. We are honered to have you as our guardian angel.
