My Beloved son, Joshua Dorian, passed away this afternoon in Amy's arms. His suffering is over at last, and he is with God. I imagine him whole and healthy, playing basketball on a heavenly court, dribbling with two hands, laughing. My love to all of you who were so kind and loving during this difficult time. Alexis on Sept. 14
