Alexis, you sat next to me in class and from what I know you were very down to earth. I am sorry for the loss of your mother, even though I didn't know her I know she was a GREAT PERSON. After reading comments from other posts I was touched by what everyone said about her. She is a great WOMAN AND will definitely be missed by all those that truly love her. I am so sorry for your loss and if you ever need anyone to talk to please know you can count on me. Lots of love, Trupti

Chris, We were saddened to hear about your mom's passing. She was a very special lady. I don't think I ever saw her without a smile on her face. Even after we parted ways and went on to different high schools, anytime she saw me or one of my sisters out and about, she always took the time to stop and ask how we were doing and how our mom was. She was always very proud of you and what you accomplished. She will be greatly missed and you and your family are in our thoughts during this difficult times. With deepest sympathy, Joel and Amanda (Demarest) Blackford
