So sorry to hear of Alice’s passing, but take joy in her release from earthly pains and troubles. She’s back with Jack after a long time apart! Best wishes to you all.
Christopher and I are so deeply sorry for the loss of your mother Alice. Alice was so lovely and had a beautiful spirit. We are both thinking of you all of you during this extremely difficult time. Sending you much love, hugs, and prayers. 🙏🌹
I’m so sorry for your loss. I remember her helping me make the wood stools, and a breadbox in 4-H. She made it fun and interesting and always had interesting stories to tell. She was lively. I remember her hosting a wiener roast at her house. I have fond memories of her. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
