Aunt Allie gave us all our dancing lessons, beach trips to Cape Cod and piano lessons too. She gave the best bear hugs in the world! Oh and Highlights Magazines to all the kids! She was very generous and kind hearted and knew every kid in Milford who called her "Nurse" as she gave our shots at school and saw many sick kids in her office. We walked uptown with her and she watched us in the parades and we even made it to Community Auditions. God Bless you Allie,see you in heaven, love always, Ann

My deepest sympathy to all of Alice's relatives. A Matriarch has slipped away into eternal life.

I would like to salute a "great" lady, Alice Fitzpatrick. She was one in a million.

She was a giving person. And I, personally was the beneficiary of her generosity - opening her home to me when the weather was too bad to travel to Worcester.

I grew to love and understand Alice. She wasn't concerned about being politically correct. You knew what was on her mind.

Her passion for children and pro life was an example to all.

She was full of life - she loved to dance, sing, and praise the Lord.

And she had a feisty side, too, that was always willing to forgive.

I will miss you, Alice, but you will always be in my memory, with a daily prayer for you at Mass and in my daily Rosary. This, I know, is the best gift that I could give you.

You loved Christmas. And you will be in heaven for Christmas. May the Lord embrace you, like you embraced all those whom you met.

Alice was my Godmother and my mother's best friend. There was not a more active Godmother. She continued to do her job as Godmother well into my adult life and for that and many other reasons I always had great respect for her.

During my years as a school system employee, I had many occasions to work with Alice Fitzpatrick and Helen Breault, Milford's capable and dedicated school nurses. They were quite a team. We who knew her remember Alice as a down to earth, no nonsense lady, with a hearty "hello" for everyone and a wonderful sense of humor. She will be missed by many.
