In our younger days before we all got married families got together and everyone knew each other. I'm glad we lived during that period because I can't imagine not having had the opportunity to know my dear cousin Alice. To the family my love and prayers.

Our deepest condolences and prayers to all of the Villarreal Family.
My mom was Alice's first cousin, Frances Ordaz Olivo, as children they were close as cousins can be. My parents moved to California soon after they were married but always kept in touch with her cousin Alice and her sister Marina Segovia. They would see each other every few years when we visited S.A. We all enjoyed receiving Alice's Christmas Photo of her beautiful family, and watched her family grow in pictures. I'm sure they will be happy to see each other again! May Alice Rest In Paradise
The Family of Frances (La Veve) and Andrew Olivo

So many stories of kindness Alice had for everyone, especially her Tias and Tios. No doubt she was an angel among us. I often tried to visualize how she managed to do so much and still show the love that was in her heart for her Jesse, the nine children and joyfully enjoy the family as it grew and grew. God bless you all . We were very close as cousins and I recall the day she found out I needed a formal. She gave me a beautiful gown she had worn at the Black and White Ball. Her face glowed she was so happy to make me happy. And that seemed to have been her goal in this life - to be kind to everyone and to make them happy. The last time I visited Alice it seemed she was asleep but as I spoke to her and for a split of a second she opened her eyes and smiled. She made me happy again.

Siento mucho su pérdida, quiero compartir una promesa bíblica que pronto veremos en la tierra: "Tengo esperanza en cuanto a Dios,esperanza que estos mismos también abrigan, de que va a haber resurrección así de justos como de injustos "Hechos 24:15 y será en la tierra Salmo 37:29 Y Dios no miente Tito 1:2 Los quiero
