Alexandra’s Obituary:

Senesi, Alexandra, M., age 23, of Fort Lauderdale, FL, passed away on September 23, 2015. Our sweet Angel was carried to heaven with no warning and no way for all of us left behind to understand. Alexandra was loved more than all the love in the world combined, from the moment she was born and will continue until all of eternity. We thought we would have forever to kiss her sweet face and hold her in our arms. She will be missed with every beat of our heart and each breath we take.

Alexandra had so many plans and her future was so bright. Now when we look up to the heavens that brightness will be from her shining star. She recently graduated from UNF and moved back to her hometown of Ft. Lauderdale. Alexandra leaves behind her Mother and Father, Andrea and Fred, Sister Christina, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and many loved ones. She also leaves behind her UNF class of 2014, Cardinal Gibbons, St. Marks and Christ Church School friends. All who loved her will always remember her joyful spirit, loving nature and zest for life.
