Dearest Pat, Buzz, McHale, and Adam –

Our profound sadness is but a grain of sand compared to the ocean of grief you are feeling right now. Words feel empty and inadequate to express how devastated we feel, and how much our love for all of you burns brightly and grows.

Alex is a beautiful soul. He will remain such in our minds and hearts. We stand by your side with love and support. He is present, forever.

Tell us what we can do for you, and we shall do it. Tell us our silence suffices, and we shall remain quiet but powerfully mindful of all of you. Absolutely anything, at any time. Just tell us.

All that feels right to say now, is that our love and support for you remains eternal, just as Alex’s impact and presence in our lives.

“We should consider that the fates through confidence have devolved on us the task of a double living, that we have henceforth to fulfill the promise of our friend’s life also, in our own, to the world.”

― Henry David Thoreau

And we shall endeavor to do exactly that.

With love,

Meghna, Keith, and Mrinali
