Not sure what to say?

I was very sorry to hear of Alice Schafer's death. I recall meeting her
about 1970 when she and her husband visited Chicago. She did
a great deal for women in mathematics and thus for all mathematicians.

Alice Schafer enabled others to be their best. She stimulated curiosity and encouraged exploration. I am honored to have you as my aunt.

The passion Alice had for her loves had no boundries. She was amazing and an inspiration. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Alice Schafer was a leader who encouraged many mathematicians
and positively impacted many lives. My condolences to her family.
