Alexa Christine Foster was born on October 8, 1995 to Roger and Julie
Foster. She had big sister Jasmine there to look out for her. A couple
years later, they were joined by little girl number 3, Brooke. Alexa
loved anything that lived, including bugs. She was a busy little girl,
always active and on the go. Alexa attended St. James Catholic School.
The girls finished school on Wednesday the 19th of
May, 2004. It was Alexa’s last day of third grade. As tradition goes, their
private school had their end of year picnic that evening at the city
park. The city park is a very popular place in the warm months. They
have ball fields, meeting halls, a playground, beautiful landscape and
so much more. At the end of the year picnic, there is
always a big water fight. You know, the kind where you go buy the
biggest, baddest water gun you can find. You chase your friends, and you
soak them. Alexa and her friends were doing just that. They were in the
woman’s restroom, filling up their water guns for another round, when a
cinderblock wall collapsed on Alexa. Alexa died from her injuries on May
19th, 2004, on her last day of 3rd grade, when she was 8 years old.
