I know God will bless my Aunt Alice. She was a kind and wonderful lady and a real pip.When she visited me in Flagstaff long ago I found that she had a fondness for my kittys and the Boston Red Sox.I wish that she could have seen her 3 great great nephews but time and distance couldn't be overcome.Her memory will live with me until it's my time. For me and my sons' family we wish Peace and Love to all.
