Alex, It's been 3 months and my heart is still in so much pain.  I miss you so much... I miss your smile, I miss your presence, I miss your loving ways...I miss holding your hand and feeling your warmth next to me... I exist but don't live, but I try.  Life seems empty, gray and meaningless.  I don't feel complete without you...You are always in my heart and in my thoughts...

Dear Armine, Just heard about your loss, my deapest sympathy to you and your family! Mahnaz, Oak Park, CA

Armine,
The service was so beautiful and a wonderful tribute to such a loving relationship.  The memories you have are such a blessing and a very special treasure!

Dear Armine and Family,

Today's service and celebration of life was such a caring tribute to Alex.  We only wish that we had the chance to know him. The fact that you loved eachother so deeply says it all!  Josip & Deanna Palic

Dear Armine,

Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for your loss.  Hold tight to the beautiful memories for comfort.

I will miss my dear classmate...

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family!

Dear Armine,
We are very sorry about Alex's sudden and unexpected departure. He was a loving person and we know how happy he made you and how special your relationship was.  Please accept our deepest condolences.

My thoughts and prayers are with you today even though I cannot be there.  In a short period of your time together you built a lifetime of happiness and memories.  Joy that will sustain you one day at a time.   Love you Armine.

Alex,

You were a wonderful friend, an adventurous companion, and loving, kind-hearted stepfather. You brought joy to our lives that will be with us forever. The time I got to spend with you was really a blessing and I know that you will be looking after us as a guardian angel in the years to come. I miss you already. Thank you for all of the warm memories and may your soul live on through all of our actions.

Armine, it's difficult to find the right words to say at a time like this, so we've borrowed the words of another:

"The hands of time are wound but once, and no man has the power,
to know just when the hands will stop at late or early hour."

Your time together,  as husband and wife, was all too brief. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have shared a part of that time.


We are deeply saddened by your loss,

 PJ & Fern

Dear Armine, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love and God bless, Rod and Chris

There was so much more for us to learn about you. But, even with our too brief time together, I know that you loved deeply and passionately, with a patience that few can sustain.  I know that when your moment came to have the love that had lasted since childhood, you did not hesitate; you risked everything you had come to know in your life to be with Arminé.  For Arminé, I once again saw joy in her eyes.  A joy that comes from contentment, peace, safety and an intimate connection.  Thank you for all you gave my beloved friend.  Peace to you, Alex

Dear Alex,
I remember the shy 17 year old Sasha that my 17 year old sister loved and cried about and didn't want to leave behind.
 It was heartwarming to see you and Armine reunite after these long years and It's heart breaking to lose you so soon…
I feel fortunate that I got to know you as Alex - the loving, caring, romantic man, full of life and the tireless optimist who loved my sister so much and treated us as his own family.  I admire how much you loved your children and your sisters.
I'll miss the fun times we had together.  
I'll never forget your big smile and the way you looked at Armine…
Love always

There was still so much for us to learn about you. But, even with our too brief time together, I know that you loved deeply and passionately, with a patience that few can sustain. I know that when your moment came to have the love that had lasted since childhood, you did not hesitate; you risked everything you had come to know in your life to be with Arminé. For Arminé, I once again saw joy. A joy that comes with contentment, safety, peace and an intimate connection.  Thank you for all you gave to my dear friend.

Dearest Alex!
You promised us to live at least another 30 years just to make up for the lost years – why didn't you keep your promise?
Why many of the greatest loves known to humanity ends up with tragedy like yours?
Why the destiny is so cruel to the finest people like you and Arminé?
We have so many questions with no answers. You left us so suddenly leaving behind sea of tears, unbearable pain, shattered dreams, your amazing smile and so much love all around.
Thank you for bringing back the shine of happiness into my sister's eyes for the last few months.
Rest in Peace, brother! We will miss you so much.
Annie
