If there is reincarnation I pray to God that you come back Lex into a family that loves you as much as we do."

"Patricia Arquette ✔ @PattyArquette

Thank you all for your condolences and words of support and prayers for our family."

Patricia penned the family’s release announcing Alexis’ death on September 11.

“Alexis was a brilliant artist and painter, a singer, an entertainer and an actor,” Patricia wrote. “Her career was cut short, not by her passing, but by her decision to live her truth and her life as a transgender woman. Despite the fact that there are few parts for trans actors, she refused to play roles that were demeaning or stereotypical. She was a vanguard in the fight for understanding and acceptance for all trans people.”

Shortly after Alexis’ death, it was revealed that the actress had been suffering from a 29-year battle with HIV and had ultimately died from cardiac arrest.

Her actor brother, David Arquette, honored his sister with a throwback pic, tweeting, “Thank you all for your love and kind words about Alexis. My hero for eternity,” he wrote.
