Passengers on a Southwest Airlines jet said goodbye to a dying flight attendant in the most beautiful way–even though she wasn't on the plane with them.

LouAnn Alexander's brother Rex orchestrated the farewell after learning how sad his sister was that she never got to say a proper goodbye or recognize the final flight that ended her 34-year career with the airline.

On board flight 4463, Rex asked if he could make an announcement.

"My sister, LouAnn, she was a flight attendant for Southwest," he began–trying not to cry. "She's very, very ill. She never got a chance to say goodbye to the flying she loved."

As he sat down, Rex figured he'd get about a dozen messages back—but the passengers on Flight 4463 did much more than that.
