Hello there,
I am looking for an Alice Coughlin and came across Alice’s guest book. I am sorry for your loss, but wonder if you can help me.
This is a very long shot, but do you know if Alice ever lived in London England, as this name appears on my Certificate of Baptism in June 1952 and there are very few Alice’s that I can find.
I hope you don’t mind me contact you, and look forward to hearing from you if you can help.
Thank you,
Mary

Dear Donna, Stephen, and Michael,
I am truly sorry for the loss of your dear mother. You had her a long time, but it is never enough. I hope you find some peace in knowing she is with your Dad.
I had the joy of being Alice's personal Nurse Practitioner. I always enjoyed seeing Alice- she loved to spar with me. When she wasn't fiesty, I knew she was ill. But, no matter how lousy she may have felt at times, she would always ask me how I was, how my family was doing, etc.
She was SOME lady!
My favorite memory of her is attending my 50th birthday party!!! She loved a good party and made mine all that much more special!
Alice was always such a lady! She enjoyed looking "put together" and knew it helped her feel better. She taught me to enjoy life no matter how old you are- make an effort to look good, to enjoy the good things life has to offer, and surround yourself with people you love.
I will miss her!
I can only imagine what it was like for her to meet God!
With love,
Mary
