Another angel has been called home to heaven......

A life cut way too short, Alex Ray was just 21 years old. He was so young, so much life he will never get a chance to experience, such a tragedy that will never be understood. Words cannot express how sad we all are for our loss.

There are so many things to say to describe our "Baby Alex", that is what G-ma Bea calls him even though he is WAY past the Baby stage. He is named after his Grandpa Alex, who he has now reunited with in Heaven.
Alex always brought laughter to everyone around him! He was so silly and fun. Every time you saw him he wore a smile, when he walked into a room he could light it up with his happiness. He was the oldest of many many great grandchildren and he had such a special role in our family. Everyone loved and adored him, you just couldn't help but love him! Looking back through pictures and reminiscing of him I can only think of good times. He loved to tease Grandma Bea and he would get her good. He used to try to get her to dance with him and she would laugh and laugh. He was just so happy. I am so sad to even have to write this post, but I want Alex to be remembered for what he was, a great son, grandson, brother, nephew, cousin, and friend.

Here he is being silly of course:)

Alex, you were soooo loved and I am so sorry you are gone. I know you are happy and at peace now, but we will sure be at a loss without you here with us. You will be missed by so many. We love you Alex Ray. You will never be forgotten......
