Uncle Victor and my cousins,
There are really no words to describe my Aunt Alice. I feel so lucky and thankful to have had all of the fun memories with her. Thinking her name always brings a smile to my face and usually a laugh or two. Most of us can only hope that our lives make a difference for the better in this world. Alice DID make a difference to ALL who knew her. She made everyone feel welcome and loved even if she had just met them. I love her and all of you so very much. I am so thankful for all of the many miles and many trips that Alice rode on the Greyhound Bus to come visit us. When we were all still at home, whenever we passed a Greyhound on the highway, we would always joke and say, "I wonder if Aunt Alice is on that bus?" I know where she is now and I know she is happy and free of pain. I hope each one of you can feel of our love and prayers.
Always,~ Carol~

Dear Yoho Family,
Alice was a big influence in my life. As Girl Scout leader to all the other activities she got Jeannie and I into. And I loved her hats! She was one special lady and she definitely made a difference.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you!
Sincerely,

I used to call her "Grandma Alice" because she was more than just a baby sitter to me. I always thought of her as the "Head Honcho" of that big Yoho family, but with a light-hearted touch. I never heard her complain, she was always up-beat. My family will miss her very much. I can only hope that enough of Grandma Alice has rubbed off on me and my family to make us better people.

Alice was such a spirited soul, always giving warm hugs, and had such an infectious laugh. She was truly a big part of my childhood as a scout leader, sunday school teacher, baby sitter, and cousin. Hold your memories close, as they will bring you comfort. God Bless.
