Hey Alex, a few days ago Sandra told me a story about you. She said that mom had gotten mad at you and mama started to chase you around the car. Sandra said that while you where being chased by mom, Noni and Sandra were in the car screaming for you to come back in.
Of course I knew you were scared cause Booooyyyyy when mama gets you there ain't turning back. When ma got you, You probably got caught on Monday and did not wake up till Friday. I've always wanted to contact you by paper and pencil, phone or even texting.
I also think that the dream you sent me must have gone on a two way street, last year I got that dream you sent me. I seen your face and body was glowing, and you had two angels on your sides. When I came to hug you said, "I have to go, but I'll be somebody when I'm back.”I believed you because two months later I seen you in a blue van with gold stripes on the side.
Well, my time is up.
Love you,
Your little brother Ozzy

Man its been a minute since I wrote you on here but I always think of you! Even after all these years you are still doing all these pranks on me silly! Ever since I had that dream on the 22nd I knew you were trying to tell me not to forget your bday which I didnt angel! Alex I know it was you who put the elmo on my night stand because Delilah hardly plays with her elmo but it felt great to wake up and see the elmo so close to me because I know you are still watching over us! I miss you so much! I still cant believe its going to 7 yrs that you been gone!You are always on my mind and I promise to you that when I go back to Chicago I'm taking you some flowers and Delilah's elmo! Alex Sophie and I are talking about you right now remembering the old days in curie! I miss you so much

Alex,
I had a dream about you last night. The dreams that I have of you are few and far between but any glimpse of you I can catch is heaven sent. I can still hear your voice and see your smile. I miss you more and more with every passing day. I feel your presence in the car as I drive and even when I'm doing the simplest things like washing dishes. It seems like it was last week that you left but as the seasons pass me by I know time has as well. As winter approaches I look forward to the first snow. I remember how much we enjoyed shoveling the snow together as kids. We all miss you so much that it is unbearable at times. Watch over us my baby brother and know how much you are loved and missed. I love you with all of my heart Alex.
Love,
Your Big Sister

**hey babe!**
there is so much i want to tell you you don't even understand. so much has changed since you've been gone. Mayra, Denise and me talk about you constantly, like you can't even imagine. We seen Amy the other day too,you were all we talked about. We were remembering all the good times we shared together. Alex you don't know how hard it is right now with you not here. It's been really tough for all of us. But just the thought of you and all the good memories makes me feel much better. I barely got my liocense and hopefully i get to go see you more often. I'm also trying to find time to go and see your mom like i told her i was,me and the other girls have been wanting to go see her but something always comes up at the last minute. I will though I promise. well babe if i keep wrighting more i'm probably gonna write a book. so i'll let you go for now.

DEAR ALEX,
GOD LOOKED AROUND HIS GARDEN AND HE FOUND AN EMPTY PLACE. HE THEN LOOKED DOWN UPON THIS EARTH AND SAW YOUR TIRED FACE.
HE PUT HIS ARM AROUND YOU AND LIFTED YOU TO REST. GOD'S GARDEN MUST BE BEAUTIFUL, HE ALWAYS TAKES THE BEST. HE KNEW YOU WERE SUFFERING. HE KNEW YOU WERE IN PAIN. HE KNEW YOU WOULD NEVER GET WELL ON THIS EARTH AGAIN. HE SAW THE ROAD WAS GETTING ROUGH, AND THE HILLS TO HARD TO CLIMB. SO, HE CLOSED YOUR WEARY EYELIDS "PEACE TO THINE". IT BROKE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE'S HEART TO LOSE YOU, BUT YOU DIDN'T GO ALONE; FOR PART OF US WENT WITH YOU, THE DAY GOD TOOK YOU HOME!!! I MISS YOU ALEX....!!!!!
LOVE ALWAYS YOUR GIRL
FOREVER,

Alex,
Well, what can I say? Now we start off a New Year, but not very happy knowing that you're not here with your family and people that love you. You just can't believe how much I miss you. How hard it is to believe that I won't get to hear your voice or see your face. Never thinking that we would have had to seen that day so soon. Now all I have of you are pictures and remembering all those times you would make me laugh and when you would get in trouble back in grammer school. I guess no matter how much it hurts we have to accept we can't bring you back but just wait until we meet again, its good to know you are in a better place. As long as you can see how many people love, care and miss you. Includin me.
Love you always
your girl,

Alex,
Another month came and went. Thanksgiving Day has come and gone. It is getting closer and closer to Christmas and the one thing that I wish to receive this year I know I will never get. All that I have lost, will never be returned to me no matter how good a girl I am throughout the year. Santa is not one to be able to make that miracle happen only life's natural course. Just got me thinking of what a great big gift that would be sitting under my tree this year if I were to be granted my one wish. Every one would be soooo envious of me cause I got the bigest gift, but then - when it was time to open it and you and the others would come out of the wrapping paper at one time... they would see that it wasn't just a gift for me .. it was for them too. Gosh Alex, I miss you too damned much! It's getting cold and I wish that instead of a blanket of snow over you, there would be an electric blanket to keep you warm this winter. I hate that you sleep alone at night in a cold place... you and little Ernie. I am so sorry!
I just want to tell you that Christmas will not be the same without you but I still want to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...may you and lil' Ernie spend it together in your eternal life up there. May you watch over us this Christmas as you've done all this time. Help Tia Licha get through the holidays with enough strength to keep it all together. She needs you to be by her side. Tell her that all she has been doing is good. Not to feel guilty of anything that she does. She misses you and loves you so much. We all do. Just be here with us for the Holidays in spirit. I will be happy with that. Til' next time! We love you Alex.
Love Always,
Your Cousin,

To my beautiful cousin whom I miss everyday that has passed since you departed this earth. And since then, pain still lingers in our hearts as if it were that very same devastating morning when we received the horrible news. I still can't beleive that you are gone. Still I ask, "Why?" "Why did this happen to us?" No words can explain even though it had been explained time and time again I still don't understand. I just don't want to understand! Your picture remains in my car and when the nights are cold.. I put Ceidi's blankie over your picture. I don't take you out because I want you to be there to protect me and the kids as soon as we get into the car. I know we are safe. Because you are an angel now - and my kids know you are. The kids and I went to see you this passed weekend I left some flowers for you there. I wish that I could just talk to you in person. You stopped visiting us and I am kinda sad about that. I need your spirit around the family. Shine your light over us once again. We miss you soooooo much Alex and we love you soooo much! Til we talk again.... sweet dreams mijo!!!
Your Cuz,
Who loves you Dearly!

It is three whole months today and nothing has changed. There is still plenty of sorrow and pain in my heart. I miss you and I would love to have the chance to see you again. Aunt Licha is really taken it hard. Today the weather is unbelievable. It was so hot for the past week and all of a sudden there are grey skies and it is pretty cool. I want to let you know that I think of you all the time. Your mom thinks of you all the time. I wish that you were still here. I want to be able to hug you and tell you that I love you. But I guess I have to wait until it's my turn to go and see you. I guess until then, I will forever keep your picture close to my heart.
Love Always,
Your cuz,

Another day without you. So quiet and grey it seems... even on the sunniest days where the brightest ray of light shines on my face as it dries my tears. As if it were your hand lifting my chin up to say "Hey, everything is fine! Don't cry anymore for you will flood the earth with these endless tears." Or in your words you would say..."Hey!!! Knock it off already and act your age." Something you learned from Uncle Bud! It is just so hard to let go. I think of you everyday. Everytime I go for a ride in my car.. I make sure you are cruising right along with me playing whatever it is I feel that you would be listening to if you were still here. Down the expressway we go nodding our heads to the loud bumping beats of a song you once thought was great!! Blue skies above with the greenest trees passing on our shoulders then infamous landmarks that lead us to what seems to be endless water... our lakefront, deep blue-green in color. Every type of person you can think of walking down the paths or riding their bikes, jogging or even skating. Then the question arises... Did you ever get to do those little things in life? I hope so. I know that someday I will see you again... Someday I will be able to ask these questions. Maybe you will have answers maybe you won't. Just a lil' note to say I am thinking of you always.
Forever in my heart!
Love Always,
Your Cuz

TO MRS. VELA,
WELL I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO START. I CAN NOT IMAGINE HOW YOU FEEL THESE DAYS, BUT I FEEL YOU. I MET YOU THE DAY OF THE ALEX'S SERVICE. I HOPE YOU REMEMBER ME I WAS YOUR SON'S G/F.WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH TO TELL YOU HOW SORRY I AM THAT OUR ANGEL BABY HAVE LEFT US TO GO TO THE PLACE HE DESERVED,HEAVEN.
GOD CALLED HIM SO YOUNG. I'M SO MAD AT LIFE AND THE WORLD.MY LIFE IS NOT THE SAME WITH ALEX NOT BY MY SIDE. IN SCHOOL IT'S NOT THE SAME ALSO SOMETIMES I HOPE TO SEE HIM. SPECIALLY IN THE LOCKERS. THAT'S WERE WE USE TO SEE EACH OTHER. MAN ONLY GOD AND HIM KNOW HOW I FEEL.BUT THE ONLY THING THAT CONSOLES ME IS JUST TO KNOW THAT HE IS IN THE BESTEST HANDS THERE IS AND THE PLACE HE DESERVED.I KNOW HE IS HERE WITH US AND HE'S GUIDING US BECAUSE EVERY TIME I THINK OF HIM EVERYDAY, UNUSUAL THINGS HAPPEN IN MY BEDROOM AND I KNOW IT'S HIM HE DOES NOT WANT TO SEE ALL HIS LOVED ONES SAD. MRS.VELA I CAN NOT IMAGINE THE FEELING AND THE VOID YOU FEEL AS A MOTHER. I SEEN MR.MONDRAGON AND OH GOD JUST BY SEEING HIM SHOWS HOW HE FEELS AS A FATHER AND I CAN NOT IMAGINE YOU. BUT LIKE I TOLD ANDREW, ALEX WOULDN'T LIKE TO SEE YOU BOTH LIKE THIS,I'M SURE HE WOULD BE HEART BROKEN. MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU AND THE REST OF HIS FAMILY BUT JUST REMEMBER ONE THING THAT HE IS WITH US EVERY SINGLE DAY AND THAT HE'S IN A BETTER PLACE.

Tia Licha, I know that you check this regularly as I do. I just want you to know that I love you like hell! Whenever you need anything, you know that I am only a phone call away. You mean the world to me and I know that you know that. I am so sorry for every day that goes by and Alex is not with you. I am so sorry that you hurt for him. It's not fair to say that I know the pain you feel, I can only say that I can imagine the pain and emptiness that you feel. I could not imagine my life without my son or my girls for that matter. We are all here for you my Lovely Tia. Hang in there. We will get through this... one day at a time!
I love you.
Your Niece,
Corina Vela
To The Friends of Alex;
First of all, I would like to thank all that were able to attend the service for my cousin. It meant alot to my aunt, her family and all of his family as well. I just want to send a message out to those who care about life. You know that pure pressure is a bitch and for all that know Alex knew that he wasn't an addict. He made a mistake that costed him his life. I want to say that you don't have to get high on drugs instead get high on life because life is beautiful. Take advantage of what life has to offer. It is always good to be able to remember the good times that you have had rather than getting high on drugs and not being able to remember it or living to talk about it the next day. Although Alex was not a user, he died from drugs. Always remember the danger of drugs. Never ever take it from anyone or for anyone! And guess what... It is VERY COOL TO JUST SAY NO!!!! Which would you choose? Life or Death? It's not a tough question. We all loved Alex very much and because of the drug we will no longer be able to touch him talk to him or see him. So make the right choice!
Sincerely,
Corina Vela

To my beautiful cousin Alex:
One who made everyone smile in their gloomiest days. Someone who made a difference in alot of peoples lives. Although it has been a month, it seems as if it were just yesterday that you left us! And like that day, we all still hurt for you and miss you a great deal. Life will not be the same without you. Your face, your laugh, your smile, your way of being, the love that you had for everyone. No one in the world would take your place. There was only one Alex. You were an angel sent from up above. It's just a shame that you were needed back there so soon. It just isn't fair how you were taken from us so young and nieve. There was supposed to be more time with you... for you... for all of us to be with you. But, you had to go. Oh Alex! I am so mad!!! But not at you... never at you papi. I am just mad at the fact that you couldn't stay at home with us! You were needed elsewhere to make a difference in someone elses world. Your job was done here. I love you unconditionally... and I miss you soooo much it hurts like hell. I think about you all the time. You are everywhere!! I know that you are. Things have happened lately that have no explanation as to why they are happening but I know that it is you. letting us know that you are guiding us and watching over us every step of the way! You take care of us... I know that you will. You always did in your own little way! Alex... We will always have you in our lives... Always. We will be together again... you wait and see. I still can't beleive that you are gone. But the memories of you will live forever. Til' next time.
Love Always,
Your Cousin,

Hey Babe,
Well tomorrow it's going to be a month since you left your loved ones.Man baby I miss you so much that I can not wait for my day to come to see you! I know you wouldn't like for me to be saying something like this but this is the way I feel. I'm realizing little by little that now you are in the place you deserved, specially you the one who made me laugh all the time ,the one that was there for me ,the one who had a smile on him every single day .Man baby I miss you so much that I don't even know how I have made it through these horrible days of my life . I miss you calling me 24/7 to see what i was doing , keeping on check all of the time. Now this whole world has no meaning to me , with you not by my side. Man only if all these tears of mine would make stairs to heaven or a path so I can go and bring you with me. My life is not the same, no more without you here. But just know that you'll have a special place in my heart no matter what.
Love you,
Brenda

Damn well, i don't think i'll forget da day i found out about what happened to you, and i really regret not keeping in touch with you, you were a good friend silly and alwayz there for someone I'll never forget those good times we had back in grammer. I guess one just never knows what and when stuff happens, but knowing you're in a better place consoles one's heart a lil more.
TO HIS FAMILY: We all know its hard to lose a loved one. But we must never forget for those whom love us and need us to cherish them.

Dearest Mom,
God I wish that I could change all the horrible events of the last two weeks of our lives but unfortunately I cannot. I just want you to know that with a lot of faith and by the grace of God we will heal, "and this too will pass". I miss Alex a great deal, I cannot begin to imagine the void you feel as a mother. I want you to know that Horacio & I are here for you always. I love you Mom.

Alex,
It's been a while since we last kicked it. But Im not mad. Just sorry that we couldnt before it was too late. I still remember all the good times we had over the years growing up together. Everyday meeting up on the way to school and all day running around acting up. I never told you how much love I had for you but hopefully you knew that. Just wanted to let know how much I felt about you, words really couldn't describe it.
Signing Out, Your Boy,

Alex,
Well alex it is kind of hard to believe that your not here. It just seems like yesterday we were in gym talking about Rowlett. It's really empty without you. I'm happy that you are in a better place and don't have to suffer in this world. I want you to know that I meant everthing in the poem "A Fallen Angel" because that's what you are an angel sent from god to put a smile on our faces. I won't say good bye because this is not good bye. Maybe I will get a chance to see you again. R.I.P. baby and you will always be dear in our hearts. Love you! Your fifth period friend.

Alejandro,
Even though I knew you for a very short time you were a very cool person always joking around. I know that you are in a better place and I know that you are looking down on all of us.
To the family: I send all my prayers out to you and I hope it gives you the strength to look forwrd to a brighter day and makes you stronger. Alejandro would have wanted us all to smile and know that he is in a better place.
