"My name is Brittany Holt, and I had just met Alexis this year when she came to South Lake High School. From the first day that we started hanging out, we loved her. She could make us smile no matter how we were feeling. She always acted so crazy and we loved every minute of it. I don't think I ever saw her get upset, even once. I love everything about her, and I really miss her alot. I wish she was still here with us, and it's really hard that she's not. She was so happy and spunky, and then we blinked and she was gone. I'll always remember all the times we laughed with her. But then we think about all of the times that she'll miss. She won't be here when we graduate, and that's going to be really hard for all of us. We shouldn't have had to say goodbye like this, it was so unexpected for all of us. I never thought that I would have to get a phone call like that, especially about Alexis. Our lives have changed forever now that she's gone, but we know she's in a better place. It hurts so much to realize that she's gone, but then we think of her smile and her meatball cheeks, and I know we all can't help but grin. I've loved her since the start, and I always will, because there's no way I could ever forget someone like Alexis. I still don't want to believe that this happened, but I'm starting to realize that God was calling his angel home."
