Bebe, I am so sorry to hear about Turi. My heart goes out to you and the kids. Although I didn't know him very well since I moved out of town, I remember he always had a smile on his face. He was always happy to see everyone. Look to our Lord during these difficult times. You and your family are in our prayers.

Terribly sorry to hear about this. We will be praying for all of you. Much love in Christ.

Bebe, I am so sorry to hear of Turi's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids.

To Bebe and the Alexander extended family: One of Turi's gifts to all he met was the way he made them feel, even before he said a word, and I think his eyes actually led his famous smile. He was a good friend of my brother Bobby, who also made a rather sudden exit fifteen years ago. While the ubrupt passage makes it difficult to believe what just happended and to adjust, time will help, and time will come. Linda, Joseph, Nicholas and I will keep you all in our thoughts. The holiday season will be brightened that much more by the memory and vision of Turi smiling once again.

Condolences to all the family, Turi my great friend you are truly missed.

Dear Alexander Family, Our condolences to you on the sudden death of our primo Turi. Era un" Angel de Dios", such a warm, caring man, he always made you feel special. My brother Tito considered him a brother he never had. The very last time I saw him, we were at Subway. He was telling me about his children and how proud he was of them." Esto muy orgulloso de ellos",and said it with the biggest smile on his face . My continued prayers to the family and for Turi, for he will be guiding you through this earthy journey. Sorry, I couldn't be with you during this time but my husband did attend the Mass. God bless you!

Bebe, John and Mary Frances, our deepest condolences to you all on the loss of our beloved "Turi." The world lost a great man. Turi was a great friend to Alex. When Alex suffered his stroke, Turi and Bill were there always. Lunch with Turi and Bill is what Alex looked forward to most when in Laredo. He will be greatly missed, but Alex, AJ, Fred and I are better people for having had him in our lives. He was all smiles....always! We will hold you in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

Bebe and children, I was deeply saddened to learn of the untimely passing of Turi. Please know I will be keeping you in my prayers during this most difficult of times. God Bless You All.

John, Mary Frances and Mrs. Alexander, our deepest regret for your loss. Even though I know that words are not enough to heal, understand that, in passing, we are only making our way back home. Turi is now by His side along with all those who have gone ahead to prepare a place in heaven for us. They are all waiting for the joyous time when we shall all reunite. Please extend my most heartfelt condolences to all your family. May the Lord grant you and yours comfort, strength and peace. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Our apologies for not attending the services, but we just learned of his passing. John, make him proud son. With profound sorrow, Coach Oviedo & family

Turi will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Bebe & Family, Judy & Ricky -Our prayers & thoughts are with you.

Bebe, Cori and I are so sorry and shocked to hear the news. Turi was going to outlive all of us. I told him that so many times, as he relaxed on the sofa in my office. He was everyone's Best Friend. Our lunch buddy, travel buddy, trip to Mexico body guard, Spur fan buddy, Carne asada partner and on and on and on. But most of all a heck of a dad and a husband. What an example! He sure left some big shoes to fill, but left behind a perfectly raised son and daughter to fill them and I'm sure they'll do a heck of a job. We are so sorry we lost contact with you all, since our move up to DFW, and sure hurt not having the opportunity to be there with you and your family. We will keep you and your family in our prayers. We loved Turi and will dearly miss him. Our sincerest condolences and please let us know if we can do do anything for you and the kids.

Dear Alexander Family, I would like to send my condolences on behalf of All Pets Medical & Laser Surgical Center. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. We all miss you John. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you and your family. Joey Atiee

Dear Mrs. Alexander, I lived a block away from Ricky and Turi from 1961-1973 when I went away to college. We neighbors loved the Alexanders and the boys were good sports and great fun to play our games, from softball to dodge ball, Peps, Aida, myself, Carol and Turi and Ricky spent many hours playing and laughing as we grew up. The boys' mother Aurora was so generous with gifts for birthdays and graduation. I remember so well the kind and gentle nature of both boys. I'm sorry for your loss and that of the entire family, as well as Ricky's. God Bless You and give you strength. Your friend, Linda Cuelar

Dear Bebe & family, and Ricky & family, I was truly saddened to hear the news. Being seated behind Turi for many years/classes ( alphabetical order) at the old St. Joseph's Academy, we became good friends and "buds". Those are many pleasant memories from a bygone era while growing up in Laredo. Your folks were also so nice to my folks, and I'm sure that wonderful legacy has been passed on to the current Alexander generation. May God bless you all, and may Turi's memory continue in all of those whose lives he touched. Sincerely, Silverio, Lisa, Matthew, and Eric Bosch.

Dear Bebe, John and Mary, Words cannot express how saddened we are to hear of your loss. Please accept our condolences and know that you are in our hearts and prayers. Sending you all of our love and support. The Allen family

Bebe and family, Please accept my most sincere condolences on the untimely passing of Turi. He was great guy and will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers go out to you in this very difficult time.

Bebe, John, Mary Frances, and extended Alexander/ Slight Family...Sending you our most "Deepest Condolences"! You are all in our Thoughts and Prayers... With love, Hector, Nelda, JD, and Brandon Barrera

Carol and family, my deepest and most sincere of condolences to you and yours. There isn't much any of us can do or say right now, but please know that my heart, thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow. Your memories and faith will carry you through. Love. Melba

Turi, friend to all. it's sad, being overseas i've missed many things but do know that even though we'd not seen each other in decades your kindness, warm abrazos and smile were always appreciated and made it seen like we'd just hung out in highschool just yesterday. its been, it seems, forever since St Joe and Laredo. you never looked the other way to any of your classmates or anyone you met as your heart was kind that way. although we can't be there, we share your heavy hearts and wish you all the very best. como siempre, BENDICIONES.

Last time I saw Turi had a good time and Carne Asada. Condolences to the family.

My condolences to family and friends. Last time I was with Turi in Laredo is now memorable.

Bebe, I just found out of Turi's passing...Even though I have not seen him for some time, I fondly remember every little moment I shared with a very special person. He really made one feel special and allways had this beautiful smile that no matter what mood one was in, he lightened us up and reminded us life was good. My prayers are with you and your family. My deepest condolences:(

To The Alexander Family, We were deeply saddened to learn of Turi's death and we would like to express to you our sincere sadness and sympathies to you and your family at this difficult time on behalf of Mr. & Mrs. James R.Volz & Family. Turi was a highly valuable and respected member of our family here and the effects of his loss are already being felt. Turi was someone who any family dreams of having in theirs and it was always a joy to see him. During his many years here, his dedication and selfless nature was always something that many others could only hope to attain and all who knew him regarded him with great respect and admiration. During his time here he helped the family move forward in great strides and his efforts and contributions will never be forgotten. Please accept our sincere and heartfelt condolences at this most difficult of times and please pass these feelings onto Turi's family & friends. Turi was a remarkable man and we here at Volz are all better people for having known him. For those of us here who knew Turi outside of work, we knew him to be kind, honest and a man of great honor and strength. He will be greatly missed and we here are all saddened by his passing and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. With Sincere Sympathy, All of us here, Mr. & Mrs. James R. Volz, & Family

My condolences to the family of Turi. He was on the leader board of nice guys. He and I were involved in too many shenanigans at St. Joe, in our teen age and college years. Too much fun! We know there will be a place in heaven for Turi.The good die young.

Bebe, I'm sorry I couldn't talk the night of the wake. I was really choked up though. I don't know if Turi told you or not, but the last two years of Kenny's basketball and baseball careers at AHS, Turi went to almost all of the home games (and some of the playoff games too)! We sat together so many times, and he always had positive comments about my son. He was a good friend and I really got to know him these last two years. I am going to continue his trend and go to many of the home games. As I sit and watch and cheer, I will think of Turi and miss those special times! May God bless you and the family and bring a peace to you all!

Dear Alexander Family, We are deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Mr Alexander. It was just the other day that we met each other while on a stroll in the neighbourhood. He was such a pleasant person with always a smile on his face. It felt so good talking to him. Please accept our deep, heart felt and sincere most condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Carol,John, Frances and extended family. May his soul rest in peace ! God Bless ! Sincerely, Shekhar, Meena, Priya, Manish and Sameer.

Bebe, John Frederick and Mary Frances, I am truly sorry for the loss of Arturo and will keep him and you in my prayers.

God bless and keep you safe and warm in the sunshine that was your fathers everlasting gentle and loving smile. All my love. Uncle Chuck.

Dear Bebe, John and Frances, I just heard this very sad news today. Turi made this world a better place. I feel very lucky to have known him. He never had anything but kind words to say about others. Some of the greatest laughs I've ever had were with him. Turi was the most positive person I've ever known. Please accept my sincere condolences. John Caputo

I was very sadenned by the news of Turi's untimely death. It was truly a joy to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with those he left behind.
