Our son, Alex, died 18 years ago - on Feb. 28, 2004 - one month before his 9th birthday. He had the biggest smile we ever saw and brought joy to so many people. He also had CP, epilepsy and cortical blindness. As we remember his life and celebrate his 27 on March 24 and 18 years of being an angel, we would like to help other children who have special needs or classrooms he would have enjoyed being a part of.
