She liked to drink old fashions. She was excited when we found a sugar sucker that added a great touch to our drink. We laughed and had fun.

She came to my house helping with my boys. She gave me comfort and confidence.

Carl, Julie, and Betsy;
So very sorry to hear of Alice`s passing. I somehow thought she would be with us forever. Atleast now our Moms can play scrabble and knit together to their heart`s content.

Dear Carl, Ali and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Carl, I remember working with you over the years and you on the phone with your mom. I could tell she was a very special woman and you were a very good and loyal son to her. My heart and thoughts are with you during this difficult time and I wish you years of wonderful memories!

"Grandma Zinn" was one of a kind, from her legendary knitted sweaters for her grandchildren, to the special way she carried herself daily. I remember her fondly from the younger days with Gus, Max and Hans on Christmas Lake growing up. She will be missed. My best to the family.
