God did not make any words that could even come close to express our sadness on the loss of a child, especially a child like Alex, who lived to help other children. My heart bleeds for you Pat and your family. Your little girl's memory shall be eternal. May God Bless you and provide peace to your hearts for the greatest loss imaginable. My most sincere condolences.

My sincere condolences to the family. Hope they add bicycle ramps in London to make it a much safer place and it would be a great contribution on behalf of Alexandra who was so much into saving people. It is remarkable how much she already helped through her unselfish activities. All of you are in our prayers and hearts.

Seanda Wilkins posted a condolence
There are absolutely no words that can aptly express the sorrow and grief felt over the loss of your beloved Alex...she is loved deeply by family, friends, and a huge community of people around the world. Her compassion for others has made a positive impact on so many...Alex accomplished a tremendous amount in her 19 years on Earth...more than many that are given an entire lifetime. Her passion in everything she set out to do shines brightly in all of her accomplishments and will be her legacy. My son Liam, loves your daughter deeply and I am so grateful that he was gifted with her friendship. My sincerest condolences to your family; may Alex's love of life by the light that you turn to during your darkest hours. Seanda, Liam, and Roan.

Powell Family posted a condolence
Pat and Vito, from the first moment we met Alex we all knew she was something special. So selfless and giving. Emma's first year of diving was challenging but Alex always seemed to be there to lift her spirits and convince her that she could do it. Even after diving and into High School, Emma and Alex stayed in contact and with a quick Facebook message she made time for the students at Catholic Central to talk about her experiences with World Vision. She was a one of a kind and will be truly missed. Chris & Emma Powell

Manganaro & Vivinetto Families posted a condolence
It's hard to believe that Alex is no longer with us. She is such a beautiful person inside and out, she has touched the hearts of so many, she not only lit up every room she entered but left such an impact on everyone who has ever had the pleasure of knowing her. We cherish the memories we made together and will always keep them close to our hearts. She has done so much for the world and she will never be forgotten. Heaven has gained such a beautiful sweet angel. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and condolences to you and your family. May you find comfort and encouragement at this time from your family and friends. May you find solace in knowing that loved ones are never lost to us when they live on in our memories and when a loved one is lost and the present suddenly becomes empty, remember that memories are forever. Nothing can take away the meaning Alex has brought to your life or the love you have shared. These memories are yours to cherish. It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter and although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again with loving memories. Pat, Vito and the Foto family, Alex will forever be missed and never forgotten, a truly beautiful angel she is. We are thinking about you, love you and are always here for you. God Bless you always. Love Always, Giacomo & Michelle Vivinetto Lina Manganaro Jack, Sandra, Carmelina, Anthony & Philip Manganaro

Veronica Sferrazza posted a condolence
I had the great honour of meeting Alex through Emma Powell, a student of mine at Catholic Central High School. Alex was invited in to talk with my students and I was so moved by her energy, enthusiasm and genuine kindnesses, that I kept her picture up on the bulletin board all year as an example for them to follow. She talked with them about her experiences with World Vision and her worries for the children in countries where they are not protected as well as they are here. She touched my students' lives; many of them left the classroom after hearing Alex's stories to tell others how this young woman reached out to the world in a way that so few do and therefore, inspired several of them to think about volunteering they way she had. She is someone who will be deeply missed by all who knew her, loved her and met her along the way. My thoughts and prayers are for all of her family and friends and it is with the deepest sympathy that I pray that God will help each of you through the coming days. She was a remarkable and inspirational young lady!

I'm so sorry for your loss. No parent should have to bury a child. Goddess Bless your family in your time of mourning Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle Autumn's rain.

Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Alex was truley and incredible person who touched so many lives. Though I had not really connected with her in a fair amount of time she did have a large impact on my life. During our time together in elementary school she was such a role model to myself aswell as many other kids younger than her. She continues to be a role model for many and always will be. Alex thank you for changing my life and for changing the lives of many. Heaven gained the most beautiful angel and earth gained a gaurdian to look on us. Rest in sweetest peace Alex.

I have had the great pleasure of getting to know Alex while at the pool. She was always friendly , courteous , respectful , to not only her teammates but the water polo team as well when we used the pool after. Having had a chance to talk to her about some of her goals, her charity work and a little of her diving and how incredibly grounded she was made it very apparent how special this young girl was. I don't think there can be anything harder in this life than losing a child, and I believe even harder given the quality of person Alex was and truly knowing she will continue to inspire and influence many for a long time. Sincerely, Ray Lumsden, Former Head Coach London Water Polo Team.

To the Foto Family, I was shocked and saddened to hear of Alex's passing. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet and work alongside Alex with the Free the Children MOBilizers. Our group became a closeknit family, having group video chats between cities to plan fundraising opportunities and catch up. To say that the MOBilizer community is devestated is an understatement. We lost one of our brightest lights. Alex was always willing to shine her infectious positivity and energy on us and brought so much to the table. We will miss her incredibly. Thank you for raising such a beautiful soul. We will never forget her. Cassie

There just are no words to express how I feel about hearing about the passing of your Angel Alex. The heartfelt sorrow, grieve and pain that you, your family, your friends, Alex's friends our community are experiencing are unimaginable. I never had the pleasure or opportunity to meet or know Alex. But through our mutual friend Carol, Alex's surrogate mother, as Carol always referred her self as. I heard nothing but amazing things about your amazing child. Her accomplishments, her acts of kindness, her always present smile in the pictures I seen. Her acts of selfishness , the humanitarian work she has done in her short time is far more then most people ever do in a life time. The unconditional Love she gave to so many. Alex was truly one of a kind. Alex was a Gift our world was given and then taken away too soon. My heart aches for this unimaginable loss. May Alex Rest In the Sweetest Peace.

The loss of your daughter, Alex, is heart-breaking and beyond the limits of human endurance. But please be assured that Alex has not been lost but, rather, has stepped from this world into another. You will find her in the divine realm and that reunion will be for eternity, while in this world separation is inevitable and bring with it a burning grief. Alex is in a heavenly world —a world which is joyful and illumined. I hope that you find consolation in this. My deepest condolences. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

She was a truly special young lady, a testament to the love and nurturing of her parents. She made a difference. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I can still hear Alex walking in and saying "yellow." I can still see her bringing her mother a refresh from Starbuck. I can still see her looking at her mother with a love that only a mother and daughter share. I can still see her wearing her waterloo hoodie with pride. I can still see her traveling the world to help others. I can still see her in her red life guard shirt. I can still see her diving off the platform. Alex will never be forgotten. Alex was the most wonderful person I knew. Her kindness, unconditional love for people and her thirst for live is what truly made her an angel. Alex, you have done so much so far and I know you will continue to do so much more in the years ahead through the passion you have placed in others. See you soon.

It is with great sadness that I have learned of Alex's passing. My most sincere condolences to the Foto and Lorza families. May you find comfort from the love of others at this most difficult time. I taught Alex many years ago in a grade 6/7 class at St. Catherine of Siena school. Alex was a very keen student who demonstrated an interest in children and social justice even then. A few years ago, I ran into Alex at a public pool where she was a life guard. I was very impressed with Alex's maturity as she told me about her continued sincere involvement with helping children in other countries. May God bless you Alex, you will be truly missed by all those who had the pleasure to know you.

My heart is heavy knowing that Alex has been chosen for a plan much greater than any adventure she could have encountered on Earth. In my short time of knowing her it became clear to me very quickly that she would be one of the most inspiring people I have ever met. Never have I seen someone give such meaning to the word "living" and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity for a few conversations with her, some silly and some oriented around her vision for children around the world. I will keep her words with me always as the fire inside of me has been lit to persue a more live-able world for children all around the globe. Alex was the definition of a fighter, a friend and an overall genuine human being. The world would be a much better place if we all strived to be a little more like her. My heart, prayers and thoughts are one hundred percent with Pat and the rest of her incredible family at this time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Alex was always a kind and positive girl. Her beauty came from the inside out. My outstanding memory is her smile. I have no words to help ease your pain, just know we are thinking of you often.

Pat and Vito, Alex went to St. Catherine of Siena and some of MTS with our son, Billy. We are presently vacationing in Greece and heard the tragic news and were all distraught. Our thoughts and prayers have been with you and your family since we heard the news. Alex was such a remarkable young woman. Out of all the girls whom my son, Billy, graduated with, Alex is the only one that I remember because she made such an impact on everyone and stood out even at such a young age. Your angel is now watching out over all the young children of World Vision whom she cared deeply for. She was a real humanitarian and am very proud and blessed along with my son to have known her!

Dear Pat and Vito, My heart is broken for the loss of your beautiful daughter. I will forever be inspired by her passion and dedication. Although it had been a while since seeing her I will be forever grateful to have been gifted with her friendship. It made me so happy seeing pictures of her volunteering in different countries around the world, just radiating with joy. Who she was made a difference and the impact she made on everyone she touched is huge. Alex had the biggest heart and was such a gift. She will always be my hero.

Deepest condolences for the loss of your child, Mr. and Mrs. Foto. It is a tremendous loss. I was fortunate to get to know Alexandra a little bit during her time at the University of Waterloo. We started at the same time. Both in the Faculty of Environment, however different programs. We were on the same team during orientation week and I quickly realized that she was a truly special and amazing person. Learning of her passing is very saddening. Her story has touched me on a personal level. Moving forward I will try to live my life to the fullest, cherishing every moment and making meaningful contributions to the community as Alex did. I hope you can take solace in the fact that she made a positive difference in the lives of many across the world. Her legacy will continue to help many people. She will not be forgotten. Your family will be in my prayers. God bless.
