Obituary
God's Grace is in the form of the child you are blessed with. Such was the gift I received on the evening of August 19, 1992. Befitting that the huge Summer Solstice moon shining bright orange kept the doctors jumping through curtains in a mass panic with women all giving birth minutes apart. Lexie was born in chaos and somehow she marked the point where all the chaos suddenly became silent and calm. She was handed to me and I looked at her, thinking "This is my baby" and I paused. What is this? What is this wrapped around her neck? The exhausted doctor looked over at me, snatched Lexie up, and removed the wires from her head and unwrapped them from around her neck. I laughed. So this is Lexie. A little bit like me. Lexie left me a drawer full of awards that she achieved in school. She loved to read. Lexie loved her grandma and grandpa and our family loved Lexie. Lexie could talk from an early age and loved more than anything to talk about herself. I found it difficult to figure out how she managed to always have my mom and I put her shoes on the wrong feet!
At around three years old, she came to me and said "Pick a card" from a deck she held in her hands, I picked one. She did not look at it. She then said "It's the eight of hearts. I was lost for words. Lexie knew the card I had randomly picked from the many cards she held. She never told me how she did it, all she said was "Eight of hearts, eight of hearts, eight of hearts".
Lexie moved to Florida at 11 years old. She traveled with her Uncle Louie, Uncle John, Grandma Lydia and Grandpa Luis and the rest of the family. She would plan her wardrobe a year in advance and I admired her time management, her commitment to sober living, and I have always been impressed with her work ethics and her dedication to achieving her goals. She gave me laughter, she gave me joy, and she came to me a few times for advice. I am filled with joy for those moments she gave me. A beautiful and vivacious woman she had become. We are deeply hurt by her leaving so soon. Lexie will live in our hearts forever.
