On Janesville man facing seventh drunken driving charge

I'm writing to pay tribute to my cousin Alex who was killed 14 years ago on May 1st by this fiend. He was not only my family member, he was like a brother to me. We were only about 5 months apart in age and instant friends from a very young age up through our high school years and beyond until he was ripped out of the lives of our family and I. When I use the term "ripped out" I mean that is exactly what it felt like to our family and all of his friends – it was like a nightmare that you couldn’t wake up from! Unfortunately, none of us will ever forget that day and how it changed our lives. I know that we are (sadly) not the only family to go through this, but thankfully we're strong and very close-knit. It brings me to tears when I think about Alex's cute little laugh (which he seemed to be doing most of the time)! He was loved by so many people besides his family as well...he was just so great to be around and anyone who knew Alex can relate to what I'm saying. It's just such an overwhelming feeling of sorrow and anger to know that David Ambrose had the control over an innocent person's life that night and 14 years later still has that control! I just hope something can be done about this self-pitying, pathetic being before he affects anyone else's lives!

To my beloved cousin and friend, you are still with us now...and forever!
