I just wanted to thank everyone for all the love and caring we've received throughout this ordeal. I think many new friendships and relationships have been formed----there's always some light in the darkness. It's been amazing to see how Alexis' passing has affected people, in a positive way. It gives everyone a fresh taste of life. Slogging your way to the grocery in the rain doesn't seem so bad now, because you're alive and you can do it! And the next time someone invites you to a concert or a night out you might not stay home because you're tired---there's no rest for the wicked! Alexis'love for life has really diffused out into the rest of us, and we need to honour him and keep his memory alive by loving our own lives and our own selves. This blog has blown me away, it took on a life of it's own and we will continue to update it from time to time with pictures and Alexis stories, so if you have any more to tell, leave a comment for everyone to read. I also wanted to say that the "Alexis Lives" party will be an annual fundraiser in his honour every year around the 13th of October. Peace and lots of love to you all. And thank you with all my heart. Lindsay

This was a beautiful event and I'm so glad we had an opportunity to send off our boy with love, celebration and positivity, Alexis-style... xoxo Crystal Precious PS: We found a greyish-silverish little Siemons Fido cell phone in the lost and found. The battery appears to be dead. If it's yours, please e-mail me at crystalprecious@gmail.com. Also, Lindsay lost her wallet, it's black with pink and she REALLY needs it back. Thanks! CP

Hi everybody, Thank you so much to everybody who contributed to Alexis' memorial on Saturday---it was truly awesome and inspiring for everybody there. The slideshow made me bawl (mission accomplished JJ) and the support from everyone was outstanding. We are all missing such an amazing man and I think he got the memorial he deserved. For those of you that missed it I have to tell you about the showstopper---when Alexis' dad stood up to speak and floored us all by ripping off his dress shirt to reveal Alexis' Iron Maiden shirt underneath, then started rapping. My jaw hit the ground so hard I think it left a bruise. Alex made his son very proud. We are now working towards our "Alexis Lives!" party this Friday the 4th. It will be held at the Open Studios space on Main and 1st(exact address still to come), doors open at 9pm, and dress code is Alexis inspired costume. Drinking of beer is strongly encouraged as is loudness, belligerentness, dancing, and storytelling. There will be a bar, some live shows and great music. We are getting amazing amounts of help from DJ's, visual artists, security personnel and many more sassy ladies and gentlemen. We want to give Alexis a going-away party to be proud of. Someone told me that when vikings died and went to Valhalla, they were sent with plenty of noise and cheers. I think that's the way Alexis would want to go. Come help us celebrate! Lots of Love, Lindsay
