Vigil for Cody Alexander to be held tonight

ALEX — A candle light vigil will be held tonight at 6:30 p.m. in the Alex High School courtyard for Cody Alexander, the student who tragically passed away in a car accident Wednesday morning.

Candles will be available for the crowd, but will be given out on a first come, first serve basis, so attendees are encouraged to bring candles or flashlights of their own.

Appropriate dress for the event is expected.
