It is with a heavy heart that I extend my deepest sympathy to Kibby and Frank Borgia a�" and the entire family - over the heavy loss of your beloved grandson (son, brother). I remember when Alex would come to the Church after the Closing of Adoration and Benediction Services on Monday nights. What a dear, kind, handsome, well mannered young man he was. My heart just aches over your loss while trying to send you this message. Feel assured that my prayers, and those of your many friends, go heavenward, that God in His mercy will be able to soothe and comfort you in the difficult and trying days that lie ahead. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. My love and prayers are with you! Harriet Pilson

Hi Jenny, Atts and I are so shocked and sorry for you and your family at Alex's sudden passing. It is hard to even imagine what you are going through. Rest assured that we are committed to praying for you daily and for all your loved ones, asking God to give that supernatural power and strength that only he can give. Unfortunately we will not be able to be at the funeral, but rest assured that we will be praying. God's love is infinite, unbounded, knows no limits and at times like this we need to trust the Father who sacrificed his only Son for us. May God's Holy Spirit dwell in all of you, giving you peace that certainly is far more than anything we can produce. With all our love John and Atts DeVries

"This world is not conclusion A sequel stands beyond, Invisible as music.... But positive as sound" EDickinson My heart is broken for the loss of Alex. Believing as I do that we are all connected in the cosmos I think Alex is feeling the love of his family as we embrace each other in this time of such grief. 

 Posted by Frances Viventi Heinemann - leesburg, FL - cousin June 07, 2014

Our deepest sympathy goes to the family, friends and loved ones of Alex. He was a very good friend to my son at church. My son spoke very highly of Alex and he was very sad to hear of his sudden passing. We will be praying for God to help you through this sad time.

 Posted by Michele Hildenbrand - Dorr, MI - Friend June 09, 2014

Alex was a joy to know with such an infections smile. What a sweet and disciplined young man. He will be missed, which hopefully offers some level of consoling knowing Alex connected with others in a positive way and now he is in the presence of the Lord.
 I do not have all the words to accomplish what I would desire for you at this time but my prayers are covering all of you.
