We were deeply saddened to hear about Alice. She and Bert were close friends during our Sugarmill days. We have fond memories of enjoying many dinners, golf, bridge games with them. We well remember how she surprised us with a pen and ink drawing of our Sugarmill Woods home for our 40th anniversary. That drawing hangs in a prominent place in our present home 15 years later. Our thoughts and prayers are for Bert and family.

My darling Alice will be missed and I am sad with her passing. She was such a dear person and so thoughtful. What a great lady and her husband was the nicest person you ever would want to meet. I will miss her emails as I just sent her one not knowing she is with God. God bless Bert and her dear family. She will always be in my heart.

Alice was an avid, as well as a wonderful. bridge player. I have enjoyed her company at the bridge table for many years. She had a good sense of humor and will be sadly missed by her many friends
