I barely knew you Alex, but I remember all of us having laughs in form for more than 3 years. I remember on the Dibba trip when you told me that thing that really freaked me out and upset me and then eventually told me you were joking, that was just the kind of person you were, always looking to make others laugh, including yourself. I'll remember all those times in form when you would make some ridiculously innappropriate joke and we'd all be shocked and confused at how you came up with that, but you always managed to bring a smile to all our faces. I went through my old camera a few days ago and found pictures from our days in 8DT, with Ms.Taylor, and thought about how all we ever did was complain about her and wish we never had her as a form tutor. And all those ridiculous PSHE lessons we had together. I can't believe how devastated I was the night I heard about your passing, I sat in front of my computer screen, mouth wide open and unable to believe what I had just seen. I kept refreshing my Facebook timeline to see all the posts people were making about you, and wishing you'd known the impact you'd had on so so many people. It's a shame you couldn't be here to see how much people love you, but I know you can now. I went to my Mum and told her and proceeded to burst into tears. We were never really close, but the thought of someone I'd known for all these years doing something like this and me not being able to help or prevent it devastated me even more. It's awful to know you're not here with all of us right now, everyone misses you, and words can't describe how much everyone loves you and wishes things could've gone differently. You deserved so much more in life. RIP Alex xo
