My Niece

Words are hard to find at this moment so I just put some pictures and her obituary up. For those that know and those that don't. My niece went missing on September 10, 2011. I can't go into many details but her body was found on Oct. 18. 2011.

This sweet and vivacious girl was my favorite person by far. She was born my Junior year of high school and was my everything. I loved this little girl with all of my heart. Of course my heart expanded as I had my own children but Lex will always hold a very special place in my heart. The last few years, as she moved to Ogden and became a teenager our relationship wasn't as deep as before, but everytime I saw her she made me smile and no matter what was going on in her life I tried to express how important she was and that through her choices she could be or do anything she wanted to do. I will cherish the moments I had with her and I will miss her so deeply. It makes me happy knowing that she is with memory of Alexis and her strong personality.....I will fondly remember the day Addison died, Lexi was 9 years old and her mother was very adament that her child not see a "dead baby." Lexi would have nothing of that, she marched into the room and demanded she get to love on her cousin. I love this picture because it shows the sadness in her eyes but the proudest cousin ever!!!!

It's weird now that she will be buried in the same spot she is kneeling, next to her cousin.

I will miss you sweet Lexi and look forward to the day I get to see you again!!!
