It is with our deepest sympathies that we are sending our condolences today. Lexi was my son Dax's fellow peer and friend at school. He would like you to know that she was in his prayers every night, as well as the rest of her family. He spoke very highly of her, and followed her story with every new update. The night we learned of this, he prayed to her and made her promise that he would live a fulfilling life in her honor. Rest in peace, sweet baby girl. My son was so blessed to meet you and will forever remember you in his heart.
