Not sure what to say?

Alice was such a sweet lady. I always enjoyed visiting with her at church. She loaned me a baby bouncer seat when our first grandchild was born. I returned it when he outgrew it and at that time she told me to keep it as she didn’t anticipate having anymore grandkids she would need it for. I have used it for all 3 of our grandkids and I always think of her when using it. Prayers for comfort to Don, Nadine, and all the family.

I have been around this family for approximately 45 years. They are very special to me. My dad is a distant cousin to Mr. Elchlepp and Jen has been a very special friend to me. Her parents have always been gentle souls and kind to me. In so sorry to the loss of Alice but know she is happy in Heaven. Love you all.

My deepest condolences for your family in this difficult time. May God bless you.

Don and family, I am so sorry for your loss of Alice. I have fond memories of the times we spent together as part of the Lutheran Singles in the 60's, the fun times at Gabatoni's Pizza Restaurant and other events. I remember going to your wedding. Alice was always so sweet and caring. When my daughter, Pam, was born so early, she gave us special gifts. Now I am glad to know Nadine and her lovely family. Hugs to all of you.

My deepest sympathies to you, Don, and your family. Alice was such a kind and caring person.

I remember how happy my family was to have Alice become on of us. We loved her. She will be missed, but her memory will always be cherished. I am sending love to the family.

Prayers for Alice’s family. I worked with Alice many years ago and she and her family. She was a wonderful lady.

I had the pleasure of knowing this beautiful lady ( and not for so very long ) but In that short time even , it would be hard not to come to adore her , her family and enjoy the time I've had with her . She had a smile that would light up a room . She loved her family so very much and they loved her so very much . It truly warmed my heart . It is in this time of bittersweet sorrow that I pray God's holy Spirit blanket her husband , her daughters , grandchildren , extended family and friends...

I’m very sorry for all the families loss and for your dad Don. Prayers for comfort. Dawn James RN at Concordia
