I am so so sorry to hear about Lexie's tragic passing. Lexie was a very good friend of my brother, Harvey, since they were in their 20s. I only met her last summer when she came up to see him exactly around this time just a few weeks before he died. She made him very happy and they had a lovely time together talking about the old days. He talked about Lexi a lot over the years to me and I know she was one of his closest and dearest friends. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. - Posted by: Patricia Pruden (Friend) on: Jul 19, 2026

I wanted to share that after working closely with Lexi for a few years that she was a deeply kind person who immersed herself in all cultures. She was truly a people person. Above all, she was a devoted mother who loved talking about her children. My deepest condolences to her family and close friends. - Jan Hamilton - Posted by: Jan Hamilton (Colleague and Friend) on: Jul 19, 2026

Old friend from school days. Recently reconnected with Lexie thru the Major Pratt boys group. My wife and I planned to have Lexie over to reconnect as old friends, but times happened. We will miss our intended reconnecting and am saddened that a budding re-establishment of friendship will never be. We will miss Lexie. - Posted by: Barry Prokopetz (Friend) on: Jul 15, 2026
