Alice’s Family,
I share your loss. I met Alice in the late 1980s when she and Fred took a trip out east. From that time forward each time I was with Alice and Fred the same Alice showed up. Alice was an independent person who always cared how you were doing, what you were up to and how your family was doing. She was never at a loss for words. Lynne and I have pleasant memories from the later years when we would drive to Bay City and add ourselves to the Sunday morning breakfast group and try to keep all of the who is doing what conversations connected to the right family members. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you cope with the loss of this special person.
