Iwanted to thank you miss lydia for beint at our concert the other day. Alex was in the room making sure we did well. We are happy you came and spend some time with us. Alex always talked about you and how youmade him do things. He thought you were crazy but always wanted to make you happy. he was crazy and made us laugh with his sounds and his jokes. I know he is making some one laugh in heaven.

I never knew a kid who had a picture of his mom in his wallet and his pet hamster. We will miss and will always keep you in our minds. Gracias GUERO for showing us how to laugh and to love eacho other even if we did not belong. Jasmine

Wow!… When my cousin (Alma Flores) told me about this kid, it made me really sad, and shocked!… i didnt know a kid so young could ever have a disease like this!… Alma talked to me about him before he died, and i sympathized him because my aunt Mari died by a Tumor in the brain too!… So it made me think, ‘How can a kid! have this happen to him!?? He’s only 13!!!’… But then i thought, ‘I shouldn’t be questioning God’s decisions, God know’s why he does these kinds of things, even though we dont agree’. I looked back at the days when i was at Horace Mann, and i actually remember him walking up and down the hallways. He always seemed to have a smile on his face!… and it depressed me to know that he’s not with us anymore! But to all of our relief, he might not be here physically but he will be with us spiritually, and emotianlly! To all of Alex’s friends and Family… im really sorry that one of your loved one’s has passed away… I wish you the VERY best!… Love Always…

I’ve waited a while to write this because it’s been so hard to put my feelings into actual words. Alex was my student for three years, from 5th grade until 7th grade. In that time, I watched him grow from a goofy kid into a goofier pre-teen. I try to think of all of the good things about Alex instead of the immense sadness that his death has brought to all of us. The thing that I think about the most is the way his eyes would light up and his cheeks would stick out when he smiled and laughed. He always brightened the room. Even though he struggled in school, he never gave up. He always tried his hardest, and he was the first one to help others when they needed help. Alex was very likable. I can’t think of anyone that he met that didn’t consider him a friend. He was a part of our family at Horace Mann, and he will be in our hearts forever. My thoughts and prayers go to Lydia, Jay, and the rest of Alex’s family. It eased my mind at the hospital when I reminisced with Alex’s grandparents about Leonard and the things that Alex liked to do. Lydia–You are always in my thoughts. I know what it is like to be a single mom of an only child. I can’t even begin to imagine your pain. Just remember that Alex lives on in the hearts and minds of everyone that he knew. You may have lost a child, but you still have a family here at Horace Mann to support and love you.

Everybody loved Alex, he could make anyone laugh. He was one of the nicest guys I know, he always said hi. Alex was great on NAL, our team wouldn’t have made it so far without him. He will be loved and missed by a lot of people.

I spent the better part of this week thinking about Alex; trying to decide why he meant so much to meso much to us all. I listened to all the things that all the kids had to say, and the stories that his family told about him, I remembered when Lydia bought the brick with Leonards name on it and how we sat in the sauna at the Y talking about having a Margarita at the end of fifth grade (it was a tough year). And of course, nothing came to me and everything came to me. The truth of the matter was that Alex was just right. He wasnt one of those annoying brown nosing kids who never did anything wrong, and he wasnt one of those kids who couldnt stay out of trouble either. Alex was a class clown that knew when to stop; Alex was a friend who knew when to stand by his friends and when to back off. He also belonged to ushe was ours. Horace Mann is a small school and as lame as it sounds, we really are a family. Alex was more than just a student to ushe was part of our family. He was also a teacher to each and every one of us. He taught us to laughto laugh at him, ourselves, and each other. He taught us not to take things too seriously, that some things were more important than tests and having clean hands. He taught us that you didn’t have to be the smartest or the most atheletic to be the best because Alex was certainly the best. I know that none of this will bring any comfort to any of usAlex is gone, but he also lives on. He lives on in practical jokes and the kindness that weve shown to each other this past week. Luis Adame said it better than I could ever hope to; Alex Christensen was and always will be the joy in joyful.

Alex: I just want to say a few things to you. I have known you your entire life, yet I never had much opportunity to really get to know you. Yet, even though you are so young, you should know how much you mean to your mom, uncles, aunts, and of course abuelitos. You are a gift to your family and will always be remembered. I wish I had more of chance to spend time with you, but I know through faith that you will always be with those who’ve loved you. Be always with your mother in spirit. I’m sure that you are the most important thing in her life. Go with God.

Dear alex’s family,Well i never knew alex, but at lunch when he was with his friends i would always hear them laughing & i would look at him and he was either doing something or said something FUNNY.i found out that when you know a person but don’t really talk to that person its still very sad to find out they just passed away… I still remember the day we found out he passed away we were at first hour the principal & other teachers came into the room and told us that he was at the hospital… For the rest of the hour it was very quiet but when we were in passing period it was even more sad, every one was crying(especially his best friends Juan and Jonathan)this week was a very quiet week… especially thursday when he passed away it was VERY SAD.he would always have a smile everywhere.. and now at lunch i dont really see his friends laughing anymore,now i know even when you dont know this person you would still cry. but i still remember every one laughing with him.well i just want his parents to know alex will be in my heart and everyone else heart…he is now in heaven watching over us so we should smile because he would want us to be happy not sad.

Alex was pretty much the funny dude in the school. I don’t know how a good guy like Alex suddenly get this disease, he should,ve had a second chance. Nobody likes to see people we know die. Why did it have to be Alex? At least He has shown us a very important lesson, life can be shotrt, that’s why we should live it to the fullest.

Alex was always smiling and making people laugh. We will never forget him.

When he died it was sad for some they were glad because he brought us closer than ever. I would never have thought that a person you love can go down like that. People who i never thought would hug me did and people i never thought id hug i did. Man i lov ed alex so much even though the first time we talked we didnt like eachother. I remember the day he went to my dads house ha!ha!! it was fun. At first he didnt want to play with me then i asked him if he wanted to make smores he said alright like a man. my dad took me to go get the stuff. It turns out we only wanted one smore. After that we played soccer. When we were finished playing soccer his mom and my dads girlfriend talked to us about why we didnt like each other Alex said because i mess with his friend so i was like alright i said because i thought he didn t like me.he said no so thats how we became friends i realize yesterday that cryin dont bring him alive so no more cryin.

Alex may not have beeen my best of friennds but he lives on in our harts for eternaty. I share your feeling of grief.

Dear to all of Alex’s family, I did not really know Alex but I seem to know how you feel cause the same way every one in alex’s family feels is the way your sons friends at school feel.Even though right know he’s in a better place with love and the treasures of gods kingdom. Each and one of us have a angle watching over us especially his parents.

Alex was a very nice and not to mention funny kid! Even though I did not know him very well, he is part of our Horace Mann family and every body loves him. He might not be here physically but he is here spiritually. His seat is kept because he is with us every day learning with us.

Alex, we will always remember you, and it will be like you never left.I had passed great times with you and you were always there when I needed you.Thanks.Our angel will always be here telling his jokes and making us feel beter when we feel bad.Thanks my faithful friend,thanks.
