The last time I saw Alex was in September. Andy and I were there for business. Mom and Alex came to town and we went for lunch. Alex hated the construction but he said I was worth the trouble....maybe! Then he would smile and I would tell him he was a bag and we would laugh and hug each other. We were always teasing each other. Mom would shake her head, smile and tell us we are both bad. I will miss the fun we had but most of all I'll miss how happy he made Mom. I miss you Alex love Carol - Posted by: carol stechishin (Family) on: Oct 30, 2010
