Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Mr. & Mrs. Oxley, I saw your son’s obituary in the Lincoln Journal Star. I also lost my son, Jordan, 13, to a brain tumor. Always know, your son is closer to you than ever. I’d like to be an Angel Parent Partner for you. My email and number will be included if you ever need anything. jhall144@hotmail.com (402)-724-2306 ‘When an Angel misses you, they toss a penny down, sometimes just to cheer you up, to make a smile out of your frown, So don’t pass by that penny, when you’re feeling blue, it may be a penny from Heaven, that and Angel’s tossed to you.’ My family sends their deepest sympathy, thoughts, and prayers for your family.

WE SHARE YOUR SADNESS IN ALEX’S PASSING. ALTHOUGH WE KNEW HE & YOUR FAMILY BRIEFLY–HIS COURAGE & SWEET SPIRIT TOUCHED EACH OF US DEEPLY. OUR THOUGHTS & PRAYERS ARE WITH YOUR FAMILY.
Oxley family, Our heart and prayers go out to you and your families. Chad met Alex a few months ago at the Vet. auction and told me how sweet Alex was. We will be praying that you can find peace and comfort that Alex is home with his heavenly Father. Chad and Deb Skaggs
Alex was blessed to have you both as parents. Your only concern was always your son. I pray you will find peace in knowing he suffers no more. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers and Alex in my heart.
As the years have gone by, your entire family has remained in my thoughts and prayers. There was a time when I felt a part of your wonderful family at the home near Cortland. Those memories, just as memories of Alex will last a lifetime. Never doubt for a moment that my heart and prayers were with you all since I heard of little Alex and his trials here on earth. I know there are no mere words that can bring you comfort at this time, but because of the faith you shared with little Alex, we know he is now happy & at peace, looking forward to a blessed reunion with you all in heaven when you will see him at his brightest and best! Our hearts and prayers are with you! Wendy, Keith, Andrew & Noah Waege
None of us can imagine your pain unless we have experienced the loss of a child. It is unfortunate for any parent to outlive their children. This prayer is for you. ‘Most Gracious Lord, I give you thanks for the gift that was given to me through the love of this child. Grant me now, the gift of peace as I lay my child in your loving arms. May I in time come to hold true in my heart the knowledge of union again with my beloved one. In the name of our most precious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.’
Doug, Laurie and Family, We were so very sorry to hear the news about Alex. This young man touched the lives of many people. We grieve along with you. May your strong faith, loving family and endless friendship bonds help to give you peace. Jim & Connie
My dog Casey and I had the privilege of meeting Alex during our visits at Dr. Rosen’s office. What a gift Alex was to all who knew him – all smiles and pure love – a very special little boy indeed !! My prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Just wanted to let you know what a wonderful and special little boy Alex was. Me and my dogs Belle and Jessie visted with you and him on several occasions at Dr. Rosens. My deepest sympathy goes out to you and I will say a special prayer for all of you.
May the Lord be with you during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I pray that the Lord will help you to find peace and strength. God Bless!
I recently lost my grandson Alex Christensen 13 of an malignet brain tumor and when I saw the obituary of your son Alex I could only feel the pain you are going through. I will keep you in my prayers that you can find comfort and peace during this time from family and friends. I pray that God will give you peace knowing that Alex is in his arms. In Christian love.
Doug, Laurie and family, We are truly sorry for your loss. Alex had a heart of gold and smile as big as Texas. Anyone who met Alex couldn’t help but love him because of his bright, bubbly personality. Know that Mariah is helping to take good care of him, and I’m sure he has already been fishing. Deepest and sincerest thoughts and prayers are with you all. We love you, Chris, Susan, Patrick and Paul Bloomer.

I am sharing in your loss and praying for you in this time of sorrow. I hope and pray that the power of your time together give you strength in this present pain of separation, and may the Lord grant you consolation and peace.
All of you have my sincerest sympathy. I cannot begin to imagine the hurt you must feel. Everyone that I had ever talked to about Alex remarked what a trooper he was. For all of his pain and suffering I am glad that he can now wear a crown of victory. God bless and keep all of you. DA
I just wanted to let you know how truly sorry I am for the loss of your beautiful son. I can’t imagine what you must be going through. I haven’t talked to you along the way, but know I have thought of you constantly. My prayers are and will be with you and your family.
Doug and Laurie, Gary and Gloria, May God bless you with comfort and peace. The loss of a child is so devastating. You are in my prayers.
What a special little boy Alex was. I felt privileged to be able to take care of him on his last day here on Earth. Laurie and Doug, you are such an amazing family. God could not have intrusted a better family for Alex to be with during his short time here. I do believe this life is not the end, that God has a plan for us all, even though we wonder why He allows things to happen that hurt. I also believe Alex just got there ahead of some of us. He will be reunited with you in God’s time. I am praying that you find comfort in God’s promise to us. He will never leave. Your family touched my heart like no other family ever has.
We would like to express to you our deepest sympathy on your loss. We are members at Ascension and my husband and I remember you both at the Catechism class many years ago. My son Austin was a classmate of Alex’s at New Song Academy and was quite fond of Alex. He has been missed there. You have been in our prayers throughout the years. I hope God gives you the strength you need to get through this. Remember you always have friends and family you can rely on. Again, we are so very sorry for your loss.
All of the Administration, teachers and families of New Song Academy will be keeping your family in our prayers during this difficult time. We feel so privileged to have been a small part of Alex’s life. He was a such a tender-hearted little boy who will be missed by all who knew him. God bless all of you.
Dear Gary & Gloria Oxley. We are so sorry for your loss. The loss of a loved one especially a child is always harder to understand. Please know you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers through this difficult time in your lives. I’m sure he is an angel of God now and will watch over all of you now. Marlene & Jessica Vlcan

Lauri, I don’t know if you remember me but I use to play softball with you in Cortland. I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy for you and your family. I will be praying that your faith in God will see you through this hard time.
