Frazier Family,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your wife and mother. I have many fond memories your family and mine. Memories of my mom, Mrs. Frazier, and me playing "cut-throat" pinochle when I came home during the summer. I guess my mom, dad, and Claudia Hunter now have a fourth for their game.
Love to all.

Alma is just a wonderful person and mother to her own children and anyone else that needed a "Mom". Her sense of humor was like a light in the darkness of the night. All who knew her were blessed in many ways. Her life certainly enriched ours. "Doc you really did choose THE QUEEN"
