Alexandra Paul killed in car wreck

[AYS]

What tragic news. My condolences to her loved ones.

 

[Lanie]

My heart goes out to the families. How devastating.

She was always so kind to me when we'd met when I was volunteering at events. I really enjoyed their skating but what stands out was just how kind she was.

 

[Badams]

How terrible. I'm so sad for her family, friends, and colleagues.

 

[Frau Muller]

Oh my goodness, how terrible. May she Rest In Peace.

 

[jao86]

Completely and totally devastating. She was a brilliant skater, incredibly graceful, and always a joy to watch. May her memory be a blessing. My condolences to her family and friends.

 

[once_upon]

There really are no words. I hope the families and other are surrounding each other with love.

Exactly how I remember her too. She was a couple of years older than my skater and always very kind when we met at events. A bright, shining light gone far too soon.

Tragic news. My condolences to Mitch and her loved ones.

 

[Bigbird]

It's so utterly heartbreaking. I can't imagine the hell Mitch must be going through right now.

I wanted to tap into a good memory of them, so I pulled up my favorite program of theirs - their FD from 2012-2013. They always had such beautiful flow and connection.

Thank you for sharing your personal memories of Alexandra. May she rest in peace.

I found Mitch to be a gem too when he was coaching at U.S. Classic last year. His friendliness, down-to-earth personality, and sense of humor made me very glad to meet him, and it pains me to think of his shock and grief at this tragic loss. Sending hugs and strength to Mitch and their baby boy.

There are no words. I can’t stop thinking just how heartbreaking this is for Mitch.

I still remember the period of ice dance when they were coming up the ranks as juniors and then competing as seniors.

Reading this was just so disorienting in all kinds of ways.

 

[Judy]

Omg I remember them so well. 31 years old .. horrific.

Mitch is a gift of a person, this is all the more heartbreaking because when I saw him at competitions I'd always ask him how Alex was and he'd just gush about her and talk about what she's up to. He was an actual wife guy, all my love to Mitch, Charlie and their families right now.

This is absolutely tragic. I follow her on Instagram and just saw an adorable post of her baby on the beach a few days ago, so was completely shocked when I saw several other skaters posting the Go Fund Me link today. My deepest condolences to Mitch and the rest of her family and friends.

 

[CassAgain]

She was such a beautiful, graceful, kind, bright light in the sport. All my good thoughts to Mitch and her whole family.

Sad news RIP

 

[escaflowne9282]

This devastating. She seemed like genuinely lovely person. May she rest in peace. This is heartbreaking.

 

[icedancefan!!]

I am absolutely heartbroken by this news. Alex and Mitch are such a big part of the skating community and I hope that their legacy is continued through their dance teams, such as Dana Sabatini-Speciale and Nicholas Buelow.

Sabatini-Speciale/Buelow are going to JGP Istanbul and Budapest, which coincidentally Alex and Mitch went to JGP Istanbul in 2009 I hope that Dana and Nicholas use Istanbul as an opportunity to honour Alex, Mitch and Charlie

Their baby survived the crash thankfully.

Shocked and horrified. Far too often the workings of the universe make absolutely no sense. Our local CTV affiliate carried the story on their evening broadcast. Included was a interview with an understandably devastated Kirsten Moore-Towers: https://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/video?playlistId=1.6535533 Enormous condolences to Mitch and baby Charlie, and the Paul and Islam families.

 

[dogbert]

What a tragedy. Sending love, light and sympathy to her family and friends. May her memory be a blessing

 

[Habs]

This is so tragic. What a terrible loss.

 

[justtojoke]

This is unbelievable. My heart goes out to her family and friends. Praying that Mitch and baby Charli get through this.

I'll never forget their 2014 FD skate to make the Olympic team

A beautiful spirit gone entirely too soon.

 

[nyrak]

This is devastating news. They were a beautiful team on the ice, and seemed like the perfect couple off it. I'm so sorry for her husband & son, their families and friends.

 

[Carina]

So sad news

 

[Finnice]

So sad. Deepest condolences to the family.

Too young to die. R.I.P.
