I am so sorry to hear of Alice's passing. Boots & her were the greatest to know, and Boots was the most entertaining employee I ever had! They were a honor to know.

I first met your family when we moved to Taylorville in 1955. Alice was my Sunday school teacher for a while. Pam and I were classmates and friends all through school. Alice was a very dear lady and she always greeted me with a smile and a kind word. I will always remember her with fondness. There was a special place in heaven waiting for this sweet lady. Pam and Paulette, my deepest sympathies to both of you and your families.

Pam & Paulette, I am very sorry to heart about the loss of your Mother, Alice. I remember when the family lived on E. Vine St. in Taylorville, Il. I always considered her a friend and thought that she was a very special lady.
