To Alice's Family,
We are sorry to have lost one of our classmates. It was nice that we have been able to keep in touch for the last few years. You are her legacy and she was very proud of you. Your beautiful service was an outstanding tribute to her. May the Lord comfort you now and in the days to come.

Alice was one of my favorite classmates.....as a matter of fact, I chose her to be maid of honor at my wedding to Paul Beers on August 6, 1955 in the Clarence Methodist Church. Am so sorry to be out of town for her Memorial Service just 53 years later. She lives on in my memory! I pray for comfort and guidance for her family.

Our prayers and sympathy go out to Jim, Jeff, and all of Alice's family. We were in close contact with her and knew how busy she was with so many good works. She was a member of our Class of '53 at Clarence H S and always helped us plan for class reunions over the years. Our "girls day out" will miss her at our frequent get-togethers. We are sure she is finally in a better place where there is no more pain or suffering. God bless you all!

Very sorry for your loss. I was one of her classmates in highschool and enjoyed seeing Alice at our reunions. We missed her at our 55th reunion, last Saturday. I guess she had her own reunion to go to. God bless.
