January 25th 1990!!
Alex, Memories of her loss are still to fresh so I am going to enter what I can of your legacy. I know as time goes by Your Mom will be able to add more of the time we shared with you!!! We miss your beautiful face!! Your loving heart!!! We miss YOU !!!
What an exciting and beautiful Day this was. You Entered our world on January 25th 1990, @ 1:44 a.m. While Grandma, Aunt Nana and Laurie Hengst anxiously waited and tried to help your mom along. When we try to remember how long your mom was in labor all we can come up with is "Toooooooooo..... Long!" I (aunt nana) was assigned to video taping your delivery and there were a few complications such as your heart rate dropped and I remember my heart stopping also. I still cringe when I think about it. You came home in a very big snow storm one that we only get here in Wisconsin now every 4-5 years.
What a beautiful baby Girl you where! Your smile, Your Big Blue Eyes! Your sweet personality remained with you for the rest of your life. Though way to short, it was those traits that made everyone that knew you fall in love with you.
MY BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL
Alex was a beautiful and very content baby. I think back to her years as a infant and toddler, and not once can I ever recall her throwing a tantrum. She lived most of her life in Wisconsin and loved going to school. She attended her KG year in Chetek. That summer we moved to Deer Park where she attended the Amery school district, consisting of 4 schools.
1st grade thru 3rd at Lein Elementary - Missed 10 days of school, was in Baton and Ballet, second in the inventions fair * Loved going to gramma's, drawing and rollerblading.
4th grade thru 5th at Lakeview Intermediate - Missed 2 days, took up Basketball * Drawing, rollerblading, biking and read every Marykate & Ashely book there was.
6th grade thru 8th at Amery Middle - Missed 0 days, Basketball and Volleyball * Drawing, reading, biking, skateboarding, time with friends and collected anything that resembled turtles. Oh, and these were the days she started dying her hair.
9th grade, half of it at Amery High - Missed 0 days during this time, Football Chearleader * Drawing, skateboarding, time with friends, talking on the phone and shopping at the mall.
Half way thru the year we moved to Franklin, KY. Alex was devastated, she had alot of friends and couldn't bare the thought of leaving them.
She spent the rest of 9th and 10th grade at Allen County High were she was a member of the Patriot Pep club, thought about joining cheerleading but said it wasn't the same.
When we moved here she vowed that, she did not and was not going to make any new friends (she missed her Amery friends). But it wasn't in her nature, she made a friend on the very first day and many after that - I knew she would.
She was talented in so many ways, she could draw very well, liked to write poems, loved music (Strawberry Wine was one favorite), playing her guitar, skateboarding, going to the mall, hanging with friends and loved taking pictures. She wanted to be a wildlife photographer someday.
Alexandra was a very caring and soft hearted soul. She loved animals and was so passionate for others. Always there for a friend if they had a problem or needed somebody to talk to. If she wasn't on the phone, it was ringing. I often told her that I thought she would make a good counselor someday. But a camera in her hand was what she loved most. That was her dream.
PLEASE BARE WITH ME
- On that day that Alex left us, she was traveling with a friend. Just a couple of miles down the road from our home, her vehicle lost control and veered into a field, overturning three times before it landed upright. Alex was thrown 92 feet from the vehicle receiving massive injuries. Her friend substained minor scraps and bruises and would be ok.
The newspapers and police report all say that she was driving. But everything we have gathered leading up to the accident, leads us to believe she was not. The investigating officer, whom also had doubts , said there was not enough evidence to prove otherwise. The only thing they had to go on was the statement of her friend.
" three different stories, three different lies - I just wish he'd tell the truth! "
We were more than mother and daughter we were friends. We talked about everything, even the things that a parent probably wouldn't want to hear. Her friends use to say, "And don't tell your mom", but she always did. I have always felt that a child/kid/teenager should learn the things that their going to find out, from their parent or parents, not from a friend or even by mistake.
Sure she still made mistakes, she was a teenager, who hasn't. But she always came to me with them and wanted to talk.
I knew my daughter and everything about her.
" And for that I am grateful! "
