She had a smile and warmth about her that would light up a room and make anyone around her feel so comfortable. My girls and I will truly miss that bright,and sincere smile. Heaven is so lucky to have an angel like her. Please give my brother a hug from us. Love and miss you.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understandings with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints in our heart, and we are never ever the same.

~Aunt Alice you will Always be loved and missed greatly!!~

Alice was always such a joy to talk with at State Farm Insurance when my husband Dave & I would go in there. She was so full of life, so kind & had the most amazing smile. She'd talk to us about her family as she was so very proud of her family. Alice will be missed very much. My prayers go out to the family.
