Dear Kovalsky Family,
I am one of Alex's friends from Wood MS. I apologize for not coming to the memorial. I did not know until it was too late. Lena told me after that summer. He, Lena and I were friends. Alex was really kind to me. He and I have never had a dispute. I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to say good bye. I'm sure god will watch over him. I pray and continue to pray for you family. He has always been a happy person. I want to extend my deepst sympathy to your family. You lost a son, a brother. I lost a really great friend. I'm sure he is watching over you guys. He was and always will my one true friend.

To The Kovalsky's
For the short year I went to Sherwood, I spent majority of it observing Alex. He was the happiest person I've ever come across. And of course Matthew always somehow found his way into my life with his singing. Both of your sons are constant reminders of how life should be lived. I'm so grateful to have had the chance to know Alex (even if it meant leaving my class to go to his) or hearing my Mom gush about how wonderful Alex was. If I could have had a little brother, I would want him to be just like Alex. I can't imagine how heavy & sharp losing Alex is for you're family. But when people say that those who have gone before us, would want us to be happy, they mean it. No one understands why it seems that the most wonderful people amoung us tend to leave this planet early. Each day, is one closer to seeing him again. C.S Lewis once said "The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before, that's the deal".
My family & I pray that you all will find happiness again & find beauty & strength in the happiness Alex brought to everyone he met. We're so sorry for you're loss.

Love,
Brigitte

Theresa Bitanga

Dearest Debbie, Louis, Jordan and Matthew, From the first minute I laid eyes on Alex in Kindergarten he stole my heart. Such a sweet, sincere, adorable boy with a laugh I'll never forget. How can I explain my good fortune to get to know and love Alex for the last 10 years. I've never met anyone like him and don't think I ever will again. He is so special to me. His very presence made me smile, made every day better, reminded me of the genuine beauty of life. How can I thank you for sharing him with me? I know of no way but to thank you sincerely for the treasure of Alex. I've lost one of my favorite people in this world. Each and everyone of you welcomed me into your home and lives, you shared your precious Alex with me. I wish I had the words to comfort you all now and the best way I know to do that is to promise to love and miss Alex till the end of time. Love, hugs and sympthay to all of you, Theresa Bitanga

July 10, 2012
