I remember "Grandma Alyce" as a very special person that it is difficult to find words to desribe. You always knew how much she loved and cared for you both in her words and her actions. Her many talents will not be forgotten, including the many recipes she shared with me-as well as her skilled sewing. I was blessed to have had her as a part of my life. My heartfelt condolances to the entire family--she will be greatly missed. May all the wonderful memories of her life give you comfort.
