May Alec rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon. I pray that God gives Alec's family courage and peace in the months ahead. May Mary wrap her mantle around them.

Jenn, we have be touched by this brave boy's suffering and have all been offering our communions for him daily since you posted he didn't have long to go.

Our last communion offered before he died would have been two hours beforehand, due to your evenings being our mornings - we have offered today's communion for his soul, I am sure this little boy will be a powerful intercessor for his family and loved ones now.

Only if you do have the opportunity, please pass on our great honor to have prayed for this boy in his final journey, to his family - from our family in Australia.

The family has asked me to thank you all for the prayers for Alec. He really was a special soul. The grandmother wanted to have me send a picture of Alec to those who were praying for him. If anyone is interested, PM your email address.

Thousands of people came to the funeral.
