    Our prayers and condolences go out to Alice’s family. Joan and I were both so very sad to hear of her passing. Although we have been gone from there for many years, we both look back fondly on Alice’s willingness to always help, the way she always went out of her way to make you feel welcome, her blunt honesty, and her infectious laughter.

    Deb, I am so sorry to read about your Mom. I know this must be very hard on you and your entire family. Losing a Mother is such a tough thing to go through, and I feel for you all. I always enjoyed seeing your Mom. She was a “what you see, is what you get” kind of lady. I am thinking of you, Hugs…
