Alexa was a sweet girl whom I was fortunate enough to have in my life for 9-1/2 yrs. She has a
younger sister, Natasha, with whom she lived in Carol Stream with their mother & stepfather. Alexa
also had younger stepsister, Kate, and a brother, Jack, who live in Aurora with my husband and
myself, her stepmother.
On June 1, 2008, Alexa graduated from Glenbard North High School. She was to have attended Northern
Illinois University in DeKalb in the fall of 2008 to major in Psychology, but she never made it
there. On June 14, 2008 at 6:45pm, Lexi was pronounced brain dead due to an ecstasy overdose. She
had recently signed her driver's license at our house during a visit in April 2008. She had
discussed with us her desire to be an organ donor, and though we never thought we would have to
honor that request, we are proud of her decision. She donated both kidneys and her liver, saving the
lives of 3 people.
Alexa dear, you have come to me in my dreams, saddened over your decision that took your life.
Please know that we are not angry. We simply miss you more than words could express, and our hearts
will never be the same. We know you wanted to live a full life. Please watch over your sisters,
your brother, & your father. Please also help your mother & her family to come to terms with your
passing, to heal, and to find peace. I pray for them daily. We hope that our openness about your
passing brings awareness and will save even one family from the tragedy that has altered everything
in our lives. Like your choice to donate your organs, we hope we can give life to a family by
sparing another child lost due to drugs.
You will always be with us...in our hearts and our souls. You are a part of us, every day, every
second. You are missed. You are loved. Thank you for being a part of my life, my dear.
MISSING YOU~

We may no longer be together
As you're not here with me anymore
But I still feel you deep in my heart
Just the same as it was before.
When I gaze up at Heaven to you
And you look down on me
Our smiles light up the whole sky
For all of Heaven and Earth to see.
Knowing that you are at peace
Brings comfort to my sad heart
And I know God will take care of you
Now that we are apart.
Until we are together again
And sharing our heavenly home
I will always have my Angel in Heaven
Smiling down on me, and never be alone...

✿✿❀✿❀✿...REMEMBERING...❀✿❀✿❀✿
We want to always remember
the beautiful life you lived
and keep alive the memories we have
through remembering what you did.
For you're so special to all of us
a wonderful person indeed
your love, laughter and warmth
reflected a heart that believed.
Just in the everyday things we do
we remember your faith and love
in the words you spoke to help us through
is a continued reminder for us.
Although we miss you so very much
we know we'll see you once more
for this is the hope we have in god
being re-united in the Lord.
And as we gather we'll continue to share
special times we went through
for these are memories that warm our hearts
as we honour the memory of you.

Precious Child
by Karen Taylor Good
In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still
In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still
In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then
In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

♡ The Hearts Library..... ♡
By Sarah Blackstone.
Imagine if I was given one moment,
just a single slice of my past.
I could hold it close forever,
and that moment would always last.
Id put the moment in a safe,
within my hearts abode.
I could open it when I wanted,
and only I would know the code.
I could choose a time of laughing,
a time of happiness and fun.
I could choose a time that tried me,
through everything I've done.
I sat and thought about what moment,
would always make me smile.
One that would always push me,
to walk that extra mile.
If I'm feeling sad and low,
if I'm struggling with what to do.
I can go and open my little safe,
and watch my moment through.
There are moments I can think of,
that would lift my spirits everytime.
The moments when you picked me up,
when the road was hard to climb.
For me to only pick one moment,
to cherish, save and keep,
Is proving really difficult,
as I've gathered up a heap!
I've dug deep inside my heart,
found the safe and looked inside,
there was room for lots of moments,
in fact hundreds if I tried.
Am building my own little library,
embedded in my heart,
for all the moments spent with you,
before you had to part.
I can open it up whenever I like,
pick a moment and watch it through,
My little library acts as a promise,
I'll never ever forget you

GOODNIGHT AND GOD BLESS
I had a lovely dream last night
I wish it had come true.
I travelled on a shooting star
and made my way to you.
You welcomed me with open arms
and held me oh so tight.
You took me to a wonderful place
and what a beautiful sight.
The angels were singing quietly
as you took me by the hand.
Into God's Beautiful Garden
a wonderous and pleasant land.
You kissed me softly on the lips
I held you close to me.
I didn't want to let you go
I couldn't set you free.
You told me that you loved me
and would for ever more.
But that I must go back now
and you led me to Heaven's Door.
I floated down upon a cloud
My eyes were filled with tears.
You waved goodbye once again
and said wait a few more years.
As I awoke this morning
and I lay there in my bed
I couldn't help but wonder
at all things you said.
I know you are at peace now,
and I am still your loving wife
I thank the dear Lord up above
for bringing you into my life.
So when my time is over
and I lay my head to rest
I'll go back on that shooting star
To the one I love the best.

________________.O._______*SWEET DREAMS,LOVE JUDE. X
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say,
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from Heaven,
Where I dwell with God above,
Here there's no more tears of sadness;
Here is just ETERNAL LOVE.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight,
Remember that I'm with you, every morning, noon and night.
The day I had to leave you,
When my life on Earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me,
He said, "I welcome you!"
God gave me a list of things,
That he wished for me to do,
And foremost on the list,
Was to watch and care for you.
I'll be your Guardian Angel now,
And watch all that you do,
Although I know you'll miss me,
Never forget that I love you too..
But do not be afraid to cry;
it does relieve the pain,
Remember there would be no flowers,
unless there was some rain.
One thing is for certain,
That my life on Earth is no more,
I'm closer to you now,
Then I ever was before.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind, I'm walking in your footsteps, only a half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go, from that body to be free,
Remember your not going,
But your coming here to me!!!
