    Though I will not be there physically, I'll be with you in spirit, remembering and celebrating with laughter mixed with tears...so many memories from my friendship with you two since the early 80s.

    As Steve so eloquently put it in his eulogy at my own husband's funeral, "now Steve has his wings." And his halo, that had its occasional moments of slippage here on Earth (chuckling as I remember those times), is firmly in place. His spirit is savoring the richness of his life, the love of the family he so cherished, and the wisdom he gained and shared in his time here.

    Sending thoughts of love and comfort to his family, especially my dear, dear Paula.

    Much love,

    Missy Scott

    It will be with deep joy and appreciation for the knowing but sadness for his loss that I will attend this very special tribute to a man whose legacy will continue on in the lives he transformed. Dearest Paula, I think of him and YOU every day. Thank you for every hug, every smile, and every wise word shared as I awaited my time with Steve. May the time of honoring Steve with friends and loved ones minister to you deeply and bring forth the healing and comfort you extended to so many who walked through the doors of the counseling practice. You are a stellar human being as was Steve. Hugs, Cindy Smith

    Dear Paula,

    I will be happy to attend the Celebration of the life and works of my friend Dr. Stephen Alexander. Steve gave us all the Faith to move forward in our lives, the Hope that things would get better and to find the Love that we all need in life to be happy and fulfilled. Steve will always be remembered for all the lives he touched in a kind and special way. I am sure that Steve is holding a powwow in Heaven and I will look forward to seeing him someday on the other side.

    Love and Peace to you and your Family,
    Jon Tsakis

    Paula, hardly a day has slipped by when I haven't had a thought or two for you, and for Steve, since I heard the shocking fact that he'd left us. The only consolation is knowing that you are central in a rich family constellation, and that scores of people have been sending the best energy towards you as you negotiate this part of your journey--just as you have helped them negotiate their own passages. Unfortunately I can't attend on Sunday, owing to prior travel plans, but I will be thinking and praying for all of you as you celebrate an extraordinary individual, and someone who has perhaps finally gotten all the 'answers' that mystified his intellect.

    Paula, There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you and Steve. I miss him very much but you are also missed. I hope you are healing in the process along with the rest of your family. We all have leaned on you and Steve for so many years. Now, it's time for you to lean on us. It's time to take care of yourself. Please know you can call anytime. Preston and I will be attending the service to celebrate his life. Thank you for this opportunity. Love, "The Captain" and "Nurse Friendly".

    Paula,

    I am hoping to join everyone in celebrating the wonderful spirit Steve shared with the world. I am having surgery on both feet tomorrow and may not be able to ambulate. Linda Rittenhouse is coming, and says she will help me in my wheelchair if I can handle being out of bed.

    If I am unable to come, please know that you all continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Steve was certainly a one of a kind, and his many contributions to both his friends and clients are indescribable. What a loss on this earth for us all.

    Luci Kent

    Dear Paula -

    Brooke is opening up her own private practice so I wanted to give her a copy of the poster you had hanging in the office bathroom (I will not Should on myself today). I couldn't find it using Google so I thought I'd call you and Steve for help. Up popped this blog.

    I'm so stunned and saddened to learn of Steve's passing. I CAN imagine what my life would have been like if I'd never met him and it's not a pretty picture! What a profound impact he made on my life and as a result on the lives of my children.

    Please accept my heart-felt condolences. I love you both.

    Sincerely,

    Debbie Albert Halla

    Dear Paula,

    I was just looking up to see about Dr. Alexander on google and found that he has passed. I'm sad and sorry that I wasn't able to send my love and sympathy before now. Warmest memories of you and Dr. Alexander...You both were so kind always.

    Love and Peace, Lyn-Dell Wood
