My heart hurts today. I offer my deepest condolences and only wish that I could be there tomorrow. Alec will always be my cousin. I have the fondest memories of us growing up together. Although he was the only boy, he went along with all of Ariana and my crazy ideas. He was such a good sport! He even took part in our dance routines. Although we hadn't talked in awhile, we always had such great conversations when we caught up on each other's lives. I was really proud of him for his work with mechanics. He always was good at that kind of stuff. I loved him very much and he will be greatly missed.
