Alice was one of our wonderful customers that traveled on our motorcoach gambling tours with her husband, Norm. They befriended our drivers as well as everyone at TLC Charters. She was a wonderful person. She will be missed but I´m sure she´s with Norm in heaven probably headed to a casino in the sky. Much love to her family, along with our condolences.
