Alice was my neighbor for 19 years. I watched her grow up, become a young woman and a mom. Alice faced many obstacles along the way, but her tenacity allowed her to plow through those roadblocks. I haven't seen Alice in several years, but she has a special place in my heart. I know that her time here came to an end because God has a plan for her. My heart goes out to her mother Louise (Squeezy) may she be surrounded in God's arms and by the love of friends and family to see her through this difficult time. May Alice's sister Jennifer and her many nieces, nephew's and family find comfort in their memories they shared with this incredible young woman. Rest in peace Alice, rest in the loving arms of our heavenly Father....
