I will always remember Aunt Alice laughing! Alice loved a good time, and she was a great sport -- never afraid to laugh at herself, and never mean (that I saw).
Back in the 60s, Alice and my mom would talk every day on the phone -- for hours. About nothing, mostly, as far as I could tell. And they had a GREAT time doing it.
Alice was fun and loving. We will miss her. But that warm spirit rubbed off on all the people around her, and luckily, we will have her spirit around us, in the next generations, for years to come.
To Alice! A great friend and a great lady!
