As I said in my card, we really hit it off. We sure had a lot of laughs and that will continue upstairs. You should of been called Ms.Lill, that was your personality. I sill miss the emails and jokes. God waited with open arms and we'll see you at some point or another.

Dear Alice,

You were such a wonderful and caring friend and I will miss your beautiful smiles and words of wisdom. You were always there for me and so many others to share our times of sadness and rejoice in our times of happiness. I know you are truly happy and your ailing body no longer betrays your young and caring heart and you are in God's loving arms but I am selfish and I still want and need you here with me but we will meet again.

We will all miss Mom in a different way. The memories each of us have of her will be the things that get us through this and the knowledge that she is in a better place. I will not cry for the loss of her but for the joy I feel that she is happy in Gods house and reunited with all the family that went before her to live in that wondrous place
