She never stopped living, loving, or caring. Lexi always stood up for the underdog and would tenaciously protect her family and friends. The same tenacity she had to fight for what is right helped to carry her bravely to the end of this journey. A journey worthy of a warrior, and she was fondly called Lexi Warrior Princess.
