My sympathies to Alice's family & friends. I came to know Alice when I worked at Industrial National Bank and she as Treasurer (escorted by police) brought in the city deposits. Her smile & personality would light up our lobby. Later I would know her through her good friend Gwen, they were a comfort to each other. May she rest with God.
