My Story

My name is Alexis Markowich and I was diagnosed with juvenile onset tay-sachs on Aug. 4, 2005. On Nov. 11, 2005 our insurance company approved my cord blood transplant. On Dec. 30, 2005 I received my cord blood transplant. Then on Sept. 14,2006 I joined the heavens above,

We MISS YOU Lexi Girl!! Love you to the moon.

Happy 8th Birthday!!! to our sweet angel :)

Today Lexi would want us to celebrate, so I will share some news. We are having a healthy baby girl in about 18 weeks. My due date is July 15 (my birthday is July 12). I share the same b-day as Bianca (another tay-sachs angel)...so I am wondering what her and my Lexi might be able to do from heaven to make it happen that day :) The baby is a carrier of Craig's TSD gene, but not mine, which makes her a healthy carrier. We know Lexi will watch over her little sister from heaven and laugh when her new sister is keeping her big sister up or giving her a hard time like she used to :)

Two and a half years seems like yesterday and we still miss you something terrible. Love you baby girl.

God saw you were getting tired

And a cure was not to be

So he put his arms around you

And whispered, "Come to me."

With tearful eyes we watched you,

And saw you pass away,

Although we loved you dearly,

We could not make you stay.

A loving heart stopped beating,

One ready for rest,

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

He only takes the best.
