We are having a 'celebration of life' in loving memory of wonderful Alex who tragically passed away on 16th August 2023, a star that shone bright and for far too short a time.
Beautiful, kind, charismatic, intelligent, generous Alex – you are utterly irreplaceable, gone too soon and will forever live in our hearts until we meet again.
Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts for being part of Alex’s life and of our lives. We are profoundly grateful for all the visible and invisible webs of love and support that you are weaving around all us now and in years to come.
We will need you and we will be here for you.
On a more practical note, Alex was 'LARGER' than life - black doesn't feel right, please wear colour - as vibrant as you like. If you have any 'silly socks' then wonderful - Alex adored nonsense - part of the reason we loved him so bloody much.
Please e mail flyingonthermalsoflove@gmail.com for details of local accommodation and for webcast login details (if you are unable to attend in person).
Love from Katherine, Thomas, William and Oscar x
