Elaine - Your mom was pretty special, and the world was a better place for having her in it. I felt lucky to have known her at one time. This must have been a hard year for all of you. You are in my thoughts, and I wish you peace.

Dear Friends,

Please accept our condolences on the loss of Alice. She was a charming and thoughtful person, who made our lives on Clarendon Road a real delight. What better colleague to have when we were dealing with the Planning and Zoning Commissions! And what fun to attend hockey games (and later nosh at the Coral Gables), as well as to porch sit in the summer and visit with the neighbors. We'll miss both Alice and Hoffie; they were our role models.
