My dear George and Family,

I was so sad when I learned of Alice's death. I can remember all the happy times that Dick and I had with you so many years ago.. We were so lucky that the Decker family was such a big part of our lives. Alice was such a fine "Lady" and good friend. I know we will all miss her.

My sympathy and prayers go out to you. With great affection..
