What a beautiful girl Alexis was with a pretty smile and features, dark hair and captivating eyes. The niece of my girlfriend, I visited her family on several holidays and occasions and remember her full of life, humorous nature and vibrance. Set to graduate college, she had her whole life ahead of her. Terribly sad she was taken so suddenly at a young age. Deep condolences to the family. RIP Alexis.
