Heaven has a new angel today. It is hard to accept that Aunt Alice will no longer be on the other end of the telephone call. We had her for a long time and will always remember her with love. She was sharp and interesting to talk to as she kept current with the news of the world and of our family. Birthdays were always rewarded with a card from Aunt Alice. Jeanie, we share your sorrow. Ron and Kay Marie
