Just wanted to share the final news story on Alex this week. A statement written in the program for her funeral is at the end of the story.

Oh my… my heart goes out to them.
I am not too far away from where you live, Annette.
Hey Fran! Good to see you here. Yes, I think I connected that a while ago because you are in my old stomping ground. Hopefully someday we will meet!
