  1. I’m so sorry. I remember many talks that Alex and I had, about so many subjects – his art, music, his friends, and what he hoped to do with his life. This is one of those times when I wish I had some magic words to say, but all I can come up with is: I’m sorry.

  2. Dear Costas and family – There is an emptiness in our world now but a heaven with an exceptional angel. We will never understand why these things happen or understand why you were only give 20 years with your son. Hold firmly to the memories you have for they will guide you through this most difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you today and for days to come.

  3. I am so very sorry to hear about your loss and wish I could be there with you. Please have faith that Alex is at peace, and remain strong together through this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

  4. I cannot fathom the loss of a child – and the feelings and sorrow that you must be going through right now. Please accept my condolences. Ted Stout

  5. I never had a great opportunity to really get to know Alex. However I did get to work with him here at Impressions and he was a really cool guy to talk to and to work with. Its always hard to deal with losing someone that you had the pleasure to be around. But as the saying goes…its better to have love and lost than to never have loved at all. I’m glad that I was able to work with him.

  6. Alex it sad to know that you are gone with your talents. Although, it a lost to the world because you never live to use your talents here but it a gain to the heaven above where you’ve gone to use them. We love you but God loves you more. May your soul rest in perfect peace. Kostas and Shelley, I urge you to stay strong for He (Alex) has gone to where there are no pain, no sickness, no trouble, and no sorrows. May the Lord be with you in this difficult time and forever.

  7. My thoughts and prayers to you and your wife. It was a great pleasure knowing Alex and he will be remembered. Jenny

  8. Dear Costas and Family, I am very sorry for your loss, you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

  9. To Kostas and family, Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. You and your family will be in my prayers, to help get you through this terrible time you are facing. Fondly Faye

  10. To Kostas and Family, I just want to send out my condolensces out to you and your whole family for this tragedy. My sympathies go out to the whole family. Even though I did not know Alex all I hear is great things about him. May his soul rest in peace.

  11. I feel lucky to have known such a beautiful, talented & creative young man like Alex. I just have to close my eyes and I instantly see his big smile…that is what I picture first…his beautiful smile. He was blessed with such artistic talent…his imagination and skill were truly amazing. I can see him in heaven asking God if he can help paint the beautiful sunsets for his father and mother to look up at… and know that he is loving them from where he is now.

  12. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope with friends and family support it will ease your aching heart somewhat. No one will ever be able to prepare for such a loss and really not for sure if you’ll make it thru this but I strongly believe GOD will not give you more than you can handle.I will pray for you and your wife and God Bless you!

  13. Kostas & Shelley, My heart goes out to you both. The sadness I feel I cannot explain, as I cannot fathom the sadness and loss you must feel. To lose a child is one of the worst things I could ever imagine. Devistating as it may be, please look above for strength, as he is at peace now. Alex left this world without fully realizing his potential, and I will miss him. From the first time I met him, he grew on me. His wit and humor was contagious, his intellegence shone through for all to see. I felt as he made his way through life, he would excel in anything he put his mind to. My prayers are with you, may the Lord hold him and bless him. Bill

  14. My sincere condolences go out to you and your family. Alex’s loss comes as a great loss to us all, but to a great gain to God’s House. May he rest in peace with God’s Grace. The short time that I worked with Alex, I knew him to be intelligent, talented and a creative person with trimendous potential. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

  15. My Dears; I grieve with you – I cannot imagine losing a child – He is now in the arms of God – safe, and whole – My you find peace – Nancy

  16. To Kostas and Family, There is no words that any of us can say that will take the hurt and pain away from your heart right now . I am saddened to know that Alex is gone and that I can’t ask how he is doing anymore. I will truly miss his playfulness and jokes. Alex was a very special person and I am proud to say that I knew him. They always say that the Lord never puts to much on us then we can bare. I think there is always a reason for everything that he does even if it doesn’t make sense to us. I believe deep in my heart that God has a special plan for Alex and he needed him there.Alex will watch over all of us and smile down everyday. May God continue to bless you and your family in your time of sorrow. If there is anything you need please don’t hesitate to let me know.

  17. Dear Christou Family, Please accept my condolences during such a difficult time. I will always remember Alex’s warm heart and joyous demeanor in life. His spirit touched all of us and he will be missed. Warmest Regards, Paige

  18. Kostas & Shelley & family, My heart goes out to you with my deepest sympathies on this saddest of occasions. Please know that you have family and friends here to turn to, if needed, for help in finding the strength to overcome this unimaginable loss of Alex.

  19. Costas and Shelly, I am so sorry, so very sorry. I wish you peace and comfort in the belief that we all meet again. The love that you have for each other will keep you together until that time. Peace be with you. Denise

  20. Alex…you are loved so dearly, will be missed very much, and will NEVER be forgotten. I can still hear your voice in my head and see that bright eyed smile on your face. You brought joy, laughter, and good times to us all. I feel more than blessed to have known you and I thank God for giving me the honor to have had you in my life! And to the Christou family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Although we cannot find any rhyme or reason to this tragedy, I know we are all being guided through this, not just by God, but by Alex himself. As the Lord himself once said “During your times of trial and suffereing, when you see only one set of footprints in the sand, it was then that I carried you.”

  21. Uncle Costa and Auntie Shelly, I am so sorry! Alex was a beautiful person with many talents. He was tender and sweet and caring. You two are very strong people and I know you will be able to figure out how to mend your hearts. I just want you to know that if you need help or want to talk, I am here and I care deeply for you both!
