I will never forget my imprinted dream about you. Several months ago, I dreamed very clearly in the 5D and you were absolutely running toward me with such happy news . You were so happy for yourself and me as well.as soon as you got close enough to tell me poof you disappeared. You were very happy and couldn't wait to tell me. All I can think is the Good Lord expects someone in 3D to tell me. We had hands outstretched ready to embrace and poof  after all that running to greet me. Thank you for trying. I love you.

Happy Birthday Alexus!!! We miss you!!

Brittany (FDC Family)

I was just shocked when I heard the news of Alexus's passing.

Hi, I’m a student at RAA Middle School who was in Ms. A. Hill’s 2nd period. She touched my heart, and all the other students’ hearts with her bright smiles and teaching. I pray the the Lord that we may overcome our guilt and grief and always keep Ms. A. Hill in our hearts as a beautiful melody in our souls, her laughter and happiness resounding forever within us, leaving us with a happy memory of Ms. A Hill, and her impact on all of our lives.

Man I don’t know exactly what to say…. there are seldom words that accurately reflect profound emotion… but we still try. Growing up with the Hill family is one of the best things that can happen to you. It’s palpable in that family… All the love and care and determination and support and laughter and accountability and grace and guidance and freedom… You feel it, like really feeeel it in your bones. Lexi is a shining star among stars. As strong and assertive as an older sister to two boys should be, but always soft and deeply kind.

I have so many memories of Alexus’ softball games and car rides and eating pizza and playing the wii dancing game, but one that sticks with me is just us chilling in her room upstairs watching a movie. Her on her bed and me on the floor. I think she may have also been reading a book. The movie was twilight which I’m sure she’d seen a hundred times and could afford to keep her nose in a book, as she is known to do. The boys may have been asleep or maybe I just wanted to hang out with the cool older sister. Twilight is a pretty cool movie too.

Lexi was always super chill and fun-loving. She laughed with her whole body and soul. She loved fiercely and she devoted her working life to fostering a stronger and more loving community. We can all learn from her example and try to lead our lives with the love Alexus did.

Celebrations of life, funerals, wakes are incredibly sad no matter what you call it. It is the ultimate loss. We are gathering today to help each other process this immense emotional struggle. When my dad passed a couple years ago, my brother said in his eulogy that “he is a person who impoverishes the world with his absence”, and the same is true for Lexi. But I truly feel that Alexus lives on in all of the people here today and all of the people she touched throughout her life. Her life is not over. She breathes in each breath we take. Her heart beats inside of our own. We can continue her legacy by showing and sharing her light and love. Always.
