  9. Scott and Susan, Alex had a contagious smile, and infectious laugh, and a wonderful way of connecting with the children at PBC. We are so deeply saddened to hear of her departing from this earth in what we deem to be all to soon. However, we rejoice in knowing that she is with her Heavenly Father, and that one day we’ll get to see her again. Until that day, we will continue you to bathe you in prayer, asking that God grant you the peace and comfort that only He can. What a blessing to know your sweet family, and get to share in Alex’s years!

We are praying for you, that you may heal from this tragedy, knowing that your daughter touched the lives of everyone she met. God bless you both. With love, Christine and Brittany Strange

  12. I had the special privilege of being Alex’s first grade teacher. There are some children who hold a special place in your heart for many years to come. Alex was most certainly one of those children. She brought a smile to my face each day. I still remember her precious, sincere, and LONG prayers during Bible time each morning. -) Every single morning she prayed, Thank you, Lord for my beautiful teacher, Miss Malphrus. Although I lost touch with Alex and her family, I know the Lord used her in a mighty way. I can tell from other comments that she continued to live out her faith as she grew older. Susan and Scott, may you rest in the promise that the Lord will bring you all together again one day. There is no way to even imagine the loss you feel at this time, but please know that you will be in my prayers. Love in Christ, Amanda M. Moore

  13. Dear Susan and Scott, We are so deeply saddened by the loss of your daughter Alex. To be taken from you at such a young age makes our grief pale in comparison to the pain you are feeling, but we had to let you know that we are sharing your loss in our own way. No one knows why bad things happen to those so innocent and whose life has hardly begun. For now it will have to remain the painful mystery that it is. Losses like this can make us challenge our faith; however, this is precisely the time when our faith needs to be its strongest. I am praying that your faith will help you through this very difficult time and help you to know that God’s purpose, whatever it may be, is at work. I pray that you will find the strength to get you through your grief and sadness. In thinking about your loss, I would like to leave you with the oft quoted words Now she belongs to the angels. In Sincere Friendship, Jeff Charette and Family

  14. May the roads rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rain fall soft upon your fields And, until you meet Alex again, May God hold her in the hollow of his hand. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family. From the Rekeibe Fam.

  15. Happy Memories of Alex at our summer YAT Cast Sleepovers-her beautiful smile, funny, so full of life! Alex was the one that would come offer to help me in the kitchen. She loved to play with our chihuahuas-one at a time. She wanted to make sure that they each had a turn! Susan, Alex was so proud of you and your job. Remember when she had me call you, to see if I might get a job just like yours So sure of it! You and Scott raised an amazing girl. You did everything right. My heart is broken for you. Gone too soon. Our love and prayers, Cherie and Jessica Gift

  17. Her smile was contagious. Everyday she greeted us with a smile and happiness. Thank you for sharing her with us.

  18. Susan and Scott, Linda and i were so sorry to learn about Alex. I remember her as a very small child when you were in Greenville. She was a very happy child and i am sure she brought joy into everyones life she touched. Our deepest expression of symp[athy to both of you. Linda and Howard Levy

  19. The funniest memory that I have of Alex is from her time at Shannon Forest Christian School. I smile every time I think of it. Alex would make her way to the end of the class line and then eventually, when no one was looking, would make her way to her Mom’s office. She would hide out in empty classrooms and bathrooms until she could have a clear get-a-way! Teachers would be frantically looking everywhere for her but Alex knew exactly where she wanted to be… with her mom, Susan. She always had a mind of her own and knew exactly what she wanted…even at 4 years old. Susan, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your most precious Alex. The thoughts and prayers from all of your Shannon Forest Family are with you and your family during this most difficult time. Love in Christ, Reida Pearson

  23. What a difference one life makes in the world. Our son Justin was in a car accident and went to be with the Lord in the early hours of February 27th, 2009.

Only the passage of time will wear away at the anguish. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers through this extremely difficult time.

  24. Susan & Scott, I am just so sorry about the loss you are experiencing today. As you know I experienced this same loss 8 years ago when my son, Ben was taken from this world in a car accident. I can honestly say I know what you are going through today. After 8 years it is still very tender. I wanted to offer a listening ear if you guys ever need someone to listen. Just remember your child is fine, yes you will struggle on a daily basis, but as a mom knowing that my child is fine is what helped me put one foot in front of the other. ~Pam Griffin [emailprotected]

  25. Scott, I cannot comprehend just how devastated you and Susan must be feeling at this moment in your life. My heart goes out to you and your family in this difficult time.
