Paul,
I had no idea Alex was ill. I would have loved to get together with you two again before she passed :(

I am absolutely delighted I got to meet her and to see the two of you together, which makes this sad news all the more devastating!

I love you buddy.

It was a dull, boring and rather uneventful day, almost 7 years past, that you Paul stood in my office , beaming of pride, introducing your then girlfriend Alex … and I can remember her ear to ear smile, love for life and most of all her love for you , what a beautiful soul.
There have been great times of struggle , heartache and worries but I can only imagine the countless times of unconditional love , love and laughters shared …. This is what we will all remember, carry in our hearts forever.
Sending you all lots of love , big hugs and strength

Dear Paul,

We were deeply saddened to hear about the loss of your beautiful wife and our friend, Alexandra. She was an extraordinary woman, and her strength and compassion were truly inspiring. The bond she shared with Stephanie throughout their battles against cancer was a testament to their unwavering support for one another. Alex has left her mark with so many women in similar situations around the world.

Although we may be far away in Dubai, the news of Alexandra’s passing has struck so very close to home for us. We cannot fathom the depth of your heartache, but we want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Paul, you are an incredible man with a heart that matches the size of your larger-than-life personality. We can only imagine how unbearable this loss must feel for you. Please remember that our door and our hearts are always open to you here in Dubai. If there is anything we can do to support you, even from a distance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

While we cannot be there physically, please know that we are sending our love, strength, and condolences to you. May cherished memories of Alexandra bring you solace and comfort in the days ahead. You are not alone in this journey, and we are here for you, whenever you need us.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Dave & Steph
