I'm so sad! Alice and I were good friends when we were both single and worked at the UI together. I loved Alice and was sorry we lost touch. Something urged me to look up the Copperthite family today and now I find that I've lost any chance of reconnecting. I remember most, Alice's humor and her undying love for Phil. A little light has gone out in my life. She will remain in my thoughts and prayers forever and a day. Fondly, Arlene Flanagan Sorrentino

I have fond memories of having fun with Alice and the girls at Rid'n High Ranch in NY. She had a big heart and infectious laugh. I send my goods thoughts and my deepest sympathies to Kristin and her family.
