To the Editor:
Thank you for each and every one of the articles written about my nephew, Alex Carrión Casas. I am his “Titi Cori” (Aunt) from Puerto Rico and reading about his life at Fairfield has alleviated the pain and emptiness his passing causes each day. I believe Alex was put in his home, with his loving parents and incredible brothers, to be nurtured for the task ahead. A task that for many years gave immeasurable happiness to all his family. A task that continues today to show us what a life well lived is and should be. A task that in the future will involve whoever God wants to touch and influence with his life and death. For God uses only the best for his special tasks and Alex was one of those. While trying to repay, in some measure, a kindness done by someone in my family, he wrote me these words: “Remember when we were growing up together there was no boundary wall between our homes. This was not by chance but because we were and are one family. You are not my cousins; you are my brothers and sisters.” Alex lived his life without walls between his family, friends and those he met. Let us all build fewer walls and dare to open ourselves to love and goodness. There is no better way for all who know about him to honor his life than to live this! Alex, you will forever be in our daily thoughts!
Sincerely, Mrs. Cori Casas de González San Juan, Puerto Rico
