My mom Minnie Hansen and Alice Gardner were the best of friends. Together they solved world problems. May each of us have a best friend named Alice. When I was in college I worked with Alice cleaning a restaurant at night. It was difficult keeping up with all that energy and passion. May we always remember the life lessons that Alice taught us-Love your Lord with gladness and always work hard. Thank-you Alice for your love and friendship.

I met Alice in 1974, and in all of the years I knew her I never saw her walk, she ran or did that jog. Over the years I figured out a few important things...
If you can't figure out how to fix it, take it to Alice, and if she can't fix it, it can't be fixed.
Listerine is good for just about everything that ails ya.
Alice was many things all rolled into one...daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She was loved by many.
And I'm going to miss that "Old Blockheaded Swed." very much.
Thank you Alice for everything, till we meet again,
Jan

To my dear sweet grandmother,
Words can not even begin to express how much I will miss you. I am so blessed and thankful that I had such a wonderful grandmother that took great care of me and everyone she knew.
Love Shelly

You were the best there can be, sweet Alice! The rest of the world should know such love and caring! Rest in everlasting peace and wait for the rest of us to catch up with you again! Love, Joe . . . .

Alice was my aunt, who I'm sorry to say I didn't get to see very often, but I have good memories of the times she came to Minnesota to see my mom (her sister) and the rest of our family. She had lots of energy and a very good heart and I'm sure she touched the lives of many people in a positive way. She will be missed.
I send my thoughts and prayers to her
immediate family and an invitation to call or come visit.

I was very pleased to be able to meet Aunt Alice a couple of times when she came to visit her sister, Evelyn (my mother-in-law)& family in Osakis, MN. She seemed like a lady who loved to live life to it's fullest. Her sister still lives in Osakis. Aunt Alice will be sadly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with all her family. Love

You helped make me who i am today. I love you and will carry you in my heart forever grandma.
To those of you who knew her take a day and do something good for someone else because this was my grandmothers wish. Years ago she made me promise to do this. Big or small do something good for someone else in grandmas memory.
