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.
I try to believe, we're not parted forever
That someday, we'll be together
You'll greet me one day, with arms open wide
And we will go on for eternity side by side
There are moments in life when you wish you could bring someone down from Heaven...and spend the day with them just one more time, give them one more hug, kiss them goodbye or hear their voice again. One more chance to say I Love you. Copy and paste in remembrance of our loved ones who are not here...gone but not forgotten! ♥
Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed, still very dear. A parents love for a child is a love without end.
Happy Birthday
Three birthdays gone by w/out the ability to kiss you. You would have officially been a non-teenager today...age 20. Here I thought your dad and I would just feel old today, but instead, there's the emptiness. It's not just this day, but everyday, and we really try to fill up the inevitable hole with the joy of life and the blessing God has bestowed upon us, including the time we were able to have with you.
Missing you terribly, and hoping you'll be the one to have the wisdom for me when it's my time.
Love you, and happy birthday.

In our hearts your memory lingers
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day, dear angel
That we do not think of you.
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
We know that you're beside us,
In everything we do,
But life's just not the same
Now that we've lost you
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
Things I feel most deeply
Are the hardest things to say
My dearest one, I love you
In a very special way
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
Your life was a blessing
Your memory a treasure
You are loved beyond words
And missed beyond measure

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
