Dear Hinds Family– I was so sorry to read about this in the paper. He must have been born about the time we were next-door neighbors to Herschel and Harlene. I was unable to be there for the visitation and funeral. Please accept my condolences.
Nonie, I was so sorry to hear about your nephew. My deepest sympathy to your and all of your family.
There are no words to express our heartfelt sorrow and sympathy. We are keeping you and Alex’s young family in our prayers.
I’m sorry for your loss. Sending prayers to your family may God be with you…
Love and prayers for your family, I am thinking of you hugs
Paula, Sandy and family, my heart goes out to you for your loss. Thinking of you all and sending my love and sympathy to you.
Our thoughts are with the family during this difficult time. The world will shine a little less bright without Alex. He was a special young man that I was privileged to get to know.
Prayers for the family. I am so incredibly sorry to hear this. My heart just breaks. Praying for strength to get through this difficult time.
Stephen & Paula, So sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers for your family.
No words can take away the pain of your loss. I will never forget Alex. I know the love he had for his children and his family and what each one of you meant to him. My deepest sympathy. Praying for all of you.
