This is still feel unreal.. I'm going to miss you beautiful. It sucks not getting messages from you, not being able to call. RIP love

Alex was my first actual friend in elementary school. We lost contact for many years and then reconnected in recent years. If I ever needed a laugh, she could deliver and used a filter. We'll be missing you.
