Ms. Alice was a feisty young woman , there was nothing old about her! I am going to miss her dearly. I was her caregiver for 6 years but she was more of a grandmother to me with all that grandmotherly advice she would give me on a daily basis and she always knew when something was bothering me and then the talk would follow.. My heart goes out to the family because this is a great loss for everyone who knew her.. May God Bless

As I think of Ms Alice, I see a vibrant life of a woman who loved her family, church, and friends. She was always there to help us. She was so full of life and energy. She will be greatly missed. Anne Pedigo
