I will miss you Alice. I enjoyed the time I was able to spend with you. Your wit, worldly knowledge, political insights, and your love for your family are the things I will remember most.

I was sorry to hear of Alice's passing. My parents used to live next door to Alice & Cal and spoke highly of them. I am sorry to say that I didn't really know either Alice or Cal though.
