We will always remember Alice for all she has done for us and for the hard work she has done for all of her Hemophiliac patients. She was our rock, our strength and our support. She was always there when we needed her. She was in the Operating Room when Dr Gilbert operated on our Son's elbow. She helped us to care for our Son when he was in a very serious automobile accident. She knew how to calm down my wife and me when fear and worry overcame us. She was part of our family lives for 28 plus years. She will be missed dearly. Alice, from the Heavens above, look down on us and guide us through the rest of our journey on this Earth. Our deepest heartfelt condolences to George, Daniel and Ruth. Alice this is for you.
God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and wispered, "Come to me". With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away, although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, worrying hands are at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best.
Rose, Charles and Charles Jr.

Oh my Angel, Words cannot even describe how much you've touched me and my family lives. You have taught me so much about hemophilia and everyday living with the illness. I have to say when I called upon you and you would reply "honey whats the matter," I could hear the devotion and empathy in your voice...and before I could tell you my problem, just your response put me at ease. I am greatful and appreciative to have known such a wonderful person and I will never ever forget my angel Alice. I wish your family strength and I speak for everyone when I say YOUR presence will never be forgotten

Alice has touched the lives of my daughter Antionette and grandson Omar, she has been a second mother to Omar and has comforted him when he is sick and has been a rock to my daughter Antoinette. No one can ever replace Alice in our lives and she will be greatly misssed by us. But we are greatful to god and her family to share her with us. The void in my daughter's and grandson son's lives will never be filled without Alice. We love you and will cherrish the many precious memories of you.

My heartfelt condolences are extended to George,Daniel,Ruth, and family.
Alice hired me at the Hemophilia center 12 years ago when I was all of 22 years old.
I was only at the Hemo. Ctr. for 5 years, but our paths crossed again 6 years ago.
Alice's wisdom,selflessness, and passion for her patients continue to be an inspiration to me. She always went way beyond the call of duty, becuase to her, her patients were her family. Alice was not just your ordinary nurse. Alice taught me as well as many others to look beyond a person's illness, how to heal not just with medicine but with empathy and sincere kindness.
For these lessons learned I thank Alice, and will miss her dearly.
May we all continue to celebrate her life by remembering all of the lives she enriched throughout her life.

My heartfelt condolensces to Goerge, Daniel and the Forster family. Alice was a very special woman who personally touched our family and really made a difference through her passion, dedication and support over many years at a very difficult time in our lives. I know my father was extremely grateful to have met Alice and kept her as a close friend and confidant. She was someone that I looked up to and admired deeply- she was there as a dedicated professional and above all a friend. I saw Alice a few months ago at another difficult time in my life when my daughter was diagnosed with an illness- she opened her arms to me and immediately reached out to her colleagues to see how she can help. It meant so much to me and Alice will always have a special place in my heart forever.

Alice's untimely death has shocked and saddened our entire family. She knew how to comfort and care not only for her patient but for their entire family. She was upbeat and positive and we always considered her to be one of our own family.There will be a tremendous void in the medical community---there weren't many Alices around. Although we have not been in touch for a while we feel this loss very deeply and send our heartfelt condolences to Goerge and Dan and the entire Forster family.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I met Alice in December 1994 when my grandson Omar Ingram was born, unfortunately he was born with hemophilia, our family had no idea how to deal with this news. Alice made it very easy for us to accept this condition, and have been a great blessing to my daughter Antoinette helping her to cope and to take care of Omar. She will be deeply miss by our family especially Omar who has been a patient of Alice the day he was born, our family will never be the same without her presence, but she will always be a part of our family for the way she has help my daugter and grandson, peace be with her.

My condolenses to the family. Alice has been more than a nurse to my son Omar Ingram who has Hemophilia since he was born 121/2 years ago, she has always been there whenever we needed her, she will be greatly miss by us, she taught me everything I need to know to help my son, she has never failed us and our lives will be terribly change because she will not be around. Omar and myself will always have you in our hearts thank you.

Alice was a friend, coworker and care giver to all she had contact with. She will be missed by all of Mount Sinai Staff and Patients in The Hemophilia Center. Much Love to George , Daniel and Ruth.

I got to know Alice only recently and found her to be a very charming and warm person. She never led on about her illness. Professionally, she helped me out with some of my patients making their problems less for them. She will be missed. I send my condolences to George and the family.
