sorry to read about Alice's passing.
She was great fun. I just mailed

Regards and Sympathy to All.

Alice is young again no pain
and with people that have gone before her
she will be missed very much
no more e-mail's
but she made it to the other side
and we will all meet her there
someday
your friend
always love Mary Phillips

Eileen and all of Alice's family: I feel so badly for the suffering and heartache that all of Alice's family has experienced during her illness and since her death. I know first hand how difficult this can be. There is no doubt in my mind that Alice is up there with Fuie - they are our guardian angels over all of the N & 6th gang. My sincere condolences for your loss.
