Not sure what to say?

My Mom's handiwork...paper tole was one of her talents! Classes at Michaels in Calumet City and she was a pro!

beautiful Mom at her Granddaughter Christy's wedding!

She was a "no fuss girl" with a love for crafting. paper tole was her gift. Although she did ceramics and so much more. She loved her sweets too! She loved making many an afghan for her children and grandchildren!

I'm quite sure this is THE Alice DeBoer who gave so much of her time to the South Suburban Genealogical Library in South Holland, directing its transition from paper to electronic cataloging. What a remarkable woman. It was a pleasure to learn from her.

A Delightful lady who had the most beautiful handwriting and loved to encourage people with cards. We will miss her. We send our love and prayers for all of the family.
