LIGHT A CANDLE
And I will light a candle for you
To shatter all the darkness
and bless the times we knew
Like a beacon in the night
The flame will burn bright
and guide us on our way
Oh today I light a candle for you.
The seasons come and go
And I'm weary from the change
I keep on moving on
You know it's not the same
And when I'm walking all alone
Do you hear me call your name
Do you hear me sing the songs
we used to sing?
You filled my life woth wonder
You touched me with surprise
Always saw that something
special deep within your eyes
And through the good times and the bad
We carried on with pride
I hold onto the love
and life we knew.
Paul Alexander

**The light your loved one has brought into your life can never be extinguished, No one can ever take away the gift and the power of the relationship you have shared, It is forever yours...
Read the Gospel: Matthew 11:25-30

Our girls miss you and wish you were here for Father's Day - I know that Cynthia considered you like a godfather, helping her take her first steps, buying her first pair of Air Jordon's and always being there if she needed a helping hand.Although Atrinette didn't know you as long she thought you were pretty special as we all did. With your great smile and contagious laugh! It will never be the same without you!
Your own daughter is so beautiful and loves you to pieces - she will always remember her daddy because you are so UNFORGETTABLE!!! To one of the best father's there could ever be on earth - May God keep you and know you were an angel on earth before he brought you to heaven to get your wings!
Happy Birthday - We Miss You!! Although you are no longer here with us, we want to celebrate the life you had and blessed us with.
Pat and I will raise a big glass of SoCo to you and let you know we are thinking of you!

Alex took pride in everything he did. One example was back in high school when Patrick and Alex were in ROTC together, they both didn't get the shiny patent leather shoes that everyone else had. When they reported to ROTC and Patrick looked at Alex's shoes and they were shinier then the shiny patent leathers the others had - Pat asked Alex how he did it - and Alex replied with a little elbow grease. Pat tried to do what Alex did but could never match the shine of Alex's shoes. Alex always shined brighter than any other throughout his life in whatever he did and it was a joy to be around him and to have known him made us the lucky ones. Thank you Alex for touching my husband's life - he loved you like a brother! You were meant to be a protector of humanity.
