Her beauty, her generosity and her loving friendships,so many memories of Alice. My favorite memory is the last time I was able to see Alice. We sat on the front lawn of her summer house in Popponesset. My parents Barbara and Bill, Alice, Kevin's mother in law and myself on a gorgeous summer day in August, were treated to Kevin's hopsitality as he made us fresh lobster rolls. The sun, a view of the ocean, Lobster and Alice. She was doing well that day and her beauty in my eyes was never compromised even on a bad days. I'm so happy I was able to share in that summer afternoon. My Dad was so happy to see her and Mom was at her side telling her to "smile", "You look great" she said. It was only a couple of hours but they are two hours I will cherish forever.

My heart maybe broken
because you are gone
I may wish you were here
But you are at eternal rest
You are in God's Hands
You will always have a special
place in my heart - Always!
