I hadn’t seen Lexy since she was maybe 13 and I saw her the day before and she hugged me super tight and we talked for a good hour maybe longer. She introduced me to her girlfriend Kassidy and they both adored Zeus. She was so excited to talk to me and I was so grateful for the conversation with her. She was beautiful and smart and knew how to make people feel positive and put a smile on their face. My heart hurts deeply for you Chrystal and Josh. She was a precious unique gift on earth. May she always be remembered and loved to infinitum.
Crystal , Josh & family ,
My heart aches with deep sadness.
I loved Lexy like my own & wanted so much more for her.
I will keep you in my prayers ❤️
Joan, Crystal, Cazzie and family, my heart goes out to you. Lexi was loved beautifully by your family and many friends. Love endures forever and ever. My prayers and thoughts are with you as you travel the road ahead of you?
