Alice was a wonderful woman with a kind heart and a soft spoken way. Once in awhile I would see that mischevious glint in her eye and soon enjoyed her great sense of humour. She inspired me as a Christian to be a better person and to have the inner strength that only God can give us through Jesus Christ. Until we see her again I can only wish God's blessings and help with her family's heartache. I will miss her very much. God bless the wonderful family that is left behind, in Jesus Christ's name.
