I would like to extend my sincere condolences to the Alexander Family. I did not know Mr. Alexander, but I know the heartache of losing a father in death. I find comfort in the Bible where it tells us that "Our Heavenly Father will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." Take care.
