Dear Kathy and Family,

I am sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. She was a dear lady who always had a smile that would light up a room. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. God bless.

To the Takac Family,
Now that this weekend is over, hopefully you all can get some time together and remember your beautiful mother.
I may not have met many of you but feel like I know you and your children so well.
She was so proud of you all.
We met Alice through my mother, Pinkie, and as they became best of friends, she became family. We'd plan my special events and review Cheryl and Kath's menus...I stole some.
Our mantra the night before she came over "Alice is coming" became a joke for our kids who loved her.
There were not many like her!
Miss you Al

Dear Alice's family,
I have been a friend of Alice's since the 1940's. We had a many great times together as teenage friends. Didn't know of her passing until it was to late to attend. Will never forget her. All my prayers and sympathy.

Kathy and Cheryl, and family, so very sorry to hear of Alice's passing. She was part of our Oakwood family. Many weeks, I saw Alice more than my own Mom. I don't know that we'll ever get used to not seeing her fly up and down the hallways. She will be missed. Norm and I will talk about her often, keeping her memory alive. All my love, Jill

Dear Mike and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I am grateful for having had the privilege of meeting Alice last July. She was a wonderful person. It was inspiring to have seen her spirit, intelligence, and joy, and heartening to see that same spirit reflected in her children and family. As long as her family honors that spirit, she will never be far away.
I am sorry I am not able to be with you on this day, but my heart and prayers are with you and your family.
With much love from Linda and me,
Lisa Torres

Dear Smith, Nuttle, Takac, & extended family,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Grandma Takac. She was a truly inspiring individual. She had a positive personality and was always succeeding at making others laugh and enjoy life. I smile each time I look back at memories of her. May Grandma Takac rest in peace and be comforted by the loved ones she had lost who she now joins in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with your whole family at this time. With deepest sympathy,

Dear Kathleen & Family,

Alice was an integral part of our family for over 25 years. She brought dignity to her work and laughter to our home. The last few years of my Dad's life, Alice cleaned his apartment. She called him her "little angel". Now this beautiful woman is our "little angel". Our prayers and loving thoughts are with you and the Takac family.
