What a wonderful mother in law you were. So loved by everyone ... always so much enthusiasm - - and how you loved those grandkids and great grandkids. You are in our hearts forever. Please give dad a kiss for me.

The Waiteks were the first neighbors I knew, in their little pool with their two (2) boys, summer 1946. Alice & Ted were just two very special people that make up the tapestry of my life & special memories. I wish we had gotten together more with my parents. Our sympathy to you all.
