Alice M. Chase

I will always remember one very hot July day in the mid-1960s during the haying season. It was unusually hot and sticky, and Grampa (Kenneth Germaine) and I had been working at the Baker place all day and had long run out of water. Not wanting to stop for fear of the rain, we continued. I looked up to see Alice and Paul standing in the clearing with a big jug of ice cold water for us. They had traversed across the back field alongside the pond from their house. We were so appreciative,...

We were so sorry to hear of your loss as we read of Alice's passing in the Worcester Telegram (online) tonight. We have all known Alice, Paul, Sandra, and "young" Paul for many years. She was a very special lady, indeed. Our hearts and prayers go out to the family circle at this time and in the days ahead.

I can never remember a time when a visit with Auntie Al didn't include hugs and kisses and funny stories to feed my head and heart, while at the same time, she was pouring coffee and cooking her own vegetables and cookies, because in her eyes, everyone was always "too skinny"..Goodbyes were too hard because we didn't want to say them, so they lasted at least a half hour or more - and started in the parlor, went through the kitchen, then to the dooryard and ended finally with her leaning into...

I remember summers at the farm picking blueberries, catching crawfish in a little stream, helping in the garden, sweeping the kitchen floor every day and having so much fun that I never wanted to leave. I know how hard it is to loose a loved one. My heart is heavy today and my sympathy and love go to you, Sandra, Paul, Becki-Jean, and Nancy. Auntie Al was once of a kind.
With much love,
Debbie
