On behalf of the family of the late Lenora Thomas Battle, Xander's great-great-aunt, we send our deepest love to Geno, Benita, and the rest of the family on the loss of precious Xander.

Xander was a sweet soul whose love was felt by everyone who knew him, and he left his mark on this world in the short time he was given. Five years was not nearly long enough, but the joy he brought will be remembered always. We take comfort knowing he is not alone in heaven, but held close by his great-grandmother Maxine and his great-great-grandmother Susie Ruth. We know heaven gained the sweetest little angel this July 4th.

To Geno, Benita, and the family, we are holding you close in prayer. May you feel the love and strength of family surrounding you in the days, months, and years ahead. Rest easy, sweet Xander. You are loved beyond measure and will never be forgotten.

With love and deepest sympathy, His cousins, the Family of Lenora Thomas Battle
