Tributes
"Judy, what moves through us is a silence, a great sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more smile. We may not understand why Alex left this earth so soon, or why he left before anyone was ready to say good-bye, but little by little, youll begin to remember not just that he died, but that he lived. May those memories bring you comfort and strength. Please know that your work family is keeping you and your family close in our hearts and prayers."
"Dear Judy - My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. We are supposed to out live our children. I watched my mom go through this when my brother passed away at the age of 18. It is not easy, but time does heal. You will never forget, but it does get a little easier."
"Alex was a such a good friend to my children Quinn, Colter and Sheridan. I always loved having him at my home, he was such a joy and pleasure to be around. His smile and laugh will always be remembered. He was such a support to Colt and Sheridan when their brother Quinn passed away last year. His love for my family meant so much to me. He will be missed dearly.Sherri Luckett"
